Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

I LOVE IT'S COMFORTABLE AND THE SIZE IS PERFECT. I JUST WOULD'OF LIKED FOR THE INSIDE LINING TO HAVE A DARKER COLOR NOT WHITE. GRAY OR BLACK

Excellent pack for day trips. Has the perfect amount of room for the essentials.

The bottle holder was to tight to put a bottle in . I sent this back

Sent it back the bottle hold as to tight to get a bottle in the holder

I absolutely love this bag. The comfort in the strap and back of the bag is superb! The side is perfect and feels like a backpack which i also love.

Great comfortable pack for light travel days.

The Sling was great for carrying misc items and wallets on a recent trip to Mexico. Was great for bike rides, exploring the resort and even out on the beach to keep sand off of items. I DO wish it was about 1/4 larger all around and the water bottle pocket could most certainly be larger along with the strap pouch.

Great gift for my wife! She loved it!

Needs to be a tad larger, Water bottle pouch needs to be larger. Was great to keep items in while staying at a resort.

I love it! It's a perfect size for when I go skiing in Switzerland in December. Just wanted something outdoorsy and small, but still offers a lot of room.

I love my bag! although I would have loved the larger one. I highly recommend it. It is high quality. I took it on a day trip and it was a great idea.

My Borealis slign is perfectly sized for me--larger than a 3L but not as bulky as 7L, otherwise I would have just stuck to my backpack. It fits all my EDC gear and the sturdy strap gives me an extra sense of security.

It's a very good quality my son love it so much

I use it almost everyday it's perfect to hold smaller items really dependable and worth the buy

Great sling bag .. very well made

I haven't used this yet, but am looking forward to it! It can hold a surprising amount, I plan to use it for theme park days. The quality is good and the variety of pockets is great

I got this to use for quick walks away from the car or house where I might need water, a snack, or different glasses and my wallet and phone. After several month of carried use, I've come to the conclusion it's about 2" too narrow for my needs. Here's why; The water bottle pocket is truly a joke, so my water bottle has to go inside taking up quite a bit of space. I use the water bottle pocket for my sunglasses case, which fits perfect. The shoulder strap has a stretchy pocket attached but it is way too small for anything other than a chapstick, one small bar, or hand wipes. No phone will fit. There is an exterior, chamois- lined pocket that fits my iPhone 16max, so that's good. Inside, the small mesh zip pocket is awkward to zip/unzip while wearing the pack slung around to the front. Awkward access for sure. By the time you toss a couple bars, or a sando in with the water bottle the pack is very hard to zip up. In fact I already busted the zipper pull one time trying. So, bottom line, it's a comfortable carry, but it needs to be about 2" wider so it zips up easily. Also, don't be fooled, if you drink water, at all, there is no suitable pocket and you'll need to put your bottle inside which uses up much of the room. @TNF, please make this a couple liters larger (wider) And redesign that inner zip pocket to zip the other way. Thanks.

This backpack worked perfectly for my trip to Hocking Hills in Ohio. The size was perfect to hold everything I needed.

I bought this bag specifically for a trip to Canada & it was absolutely perfect for everything I did. I hiked many miles and it was just the right size-I could fit my personal items, snacks, ID/credit cards, water bottle and phone! I used this as my purse/bag for every occasion. So many thought out compartments make this a very useful bag without all the bulk!! Allows you to be hands free amd fits comfortably.

Use it as a day to day sling. It's a perfect size. I have not traveled with it yet, as I have the mini back pack which is perfect for travel.

This is now my go to for essentials including EDC.perfect size for the necessary things when out and about and travels well in the air also.

Great bag, very durable! I wish it was a tad bigger but great for carrying gym stuff.

I love this backpack and would give it 5 stars except the bungee cord broke after 1st use and custom service refused to send me a replacement bungee. Instead they wanted me to send on my entire backpack which would take too long for my planned trip. The pack itself is a great design, perfect doggie day pack. Water bottle holder could be a bit larger and bottom could be a little more flat to stand up when loading pack. Overall a great pack but not happy with customer service.
