Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

This is a great daily bag. I read all the reviews about it being small. Well, it is, which is what I wanted. I'm 6'2 and it sits just fine - Carrie's the essentials, though I wish the water bottle part was a bit bigger.

I absolutely love this bag it's the perfect size for my everyday urban commuting on the train. It's not too big and not too small. I also use it for cycling as well as hiking.!

This small, lightweight cross body pack worked great for half day hikes in the Adirondacks last week. Good stability for scrambling over rocks, crossing creeks and hiking thru woods. Just enough capacity to hold essentials and a small water bottle. Really appreciated the padding on the back of the pack and also in the front zipper pocket where I put my phone. Secure keychain clip inside zippered interior mesh pocket. Big fan of the small zippered compartment on the front strap where I stashed a snack. Highly recommend!!!

Needed a small bag that fit in a motorcycle satchel.

For our vacation to disneyland. Very useful. Alot of things you can put.

Perfect lightweight sling pack for easy grab and go. Holds all important essentials for travel, hiking, etc.

Dad loves his new sling pack! Uses it everywhere he goes! Thank you for making solid items that are useful.

Perfect size. I use it as a purse. It carries everything I need along with room for my carry weapon.

really nice design and good to hold my keys, pocket knife, wallet, etc. i've received a lot of compliments on it however and a guy who's wider on the shoulders and chest, the strap could be a tad bit longer

Bought this for my trip to Europe. I wanted something smaller than a backpack for essentials (phone, wallet, passport). It worked out great! Stores everything neatly and organized. Comfortable and light.

Great size and perfect for running around with kids!

Love this bag! The fit is great. Even with items in the bag it doesn't feel like you have it on.

Started using this in place of my purse and I love it so much!!

So far I like this bag. For my needs, I wish it was a tiny bit bigger but it's perfect for when you need something just bigger than a wristlet but not quite as big as a purse or backpack

It is exactly what i wanted and it works and looks incredible.

Best purchase

Perfect size for carrying wallet, keys and all the necessities for daily activities. Bought one for my 10 year old son as well for an all day field trip. It was perfectly sized for a light weight coat, money and a snack. Not too heavy and certainly not obtrusive.

This is one of my favorite back packs of all time. Bought few different colors. Not bulky and able to fit a lot. Good padding so shoulders are not fatigued overtime.

Purchased for a friend as a gift. I thought the color & design are lovely and useful for hiking or walking. She really likes it.

Purchased this sling bag for a hiking trip. Perfect for a light backpack that doesn't get in your way.

Perfection in a bag! It reminds me to take only what I need and still has a place for a little bit of crazy! Great go bag for when I'm handling the two dogs stays on my shoulder and out of the way!

This is an epic sling! Can't find a thing I don't like, the smaller borealis handles it all for a short term go anywhere pac

Perfect for the day out!!! Holds just what we need.

I wanted a bag to take to work with my badge, snacks, and a small notebook. This is perfect and holds enough essentials for the workday. The sling may be too short to fit larger bodies, though. I'm 6'2" and pretty slim and it's fairly sung across my torso at the longest setting. The only con for me personally is the side water bottle holder is too small to hold a water bottle, even a plastic .5L bottle is quite a squeeze.

I absolutely LOVE this sling. I've never owned any TNF bags or backpacks, but absolutely love to use them. My collections mainly designer, but after using this im totally going to be purchase some more of their travel/bag items. I wanted something that would be practical to haul my every day items, but also be somewhat stylish. Banff Blue is by far my favorite color, and its multiple pockets can hold all my Moleskine books phone keys wallet, the works! the only thing I would possibly consider changing or adding rather is the ability to adjust the side the should strap is on. A+++ otherwise!
