Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

I like the small sling backpack for vacations or when I'm doing a lot of walking. It's useful for carrying personal items like a tablet, phone, book, camera, etc. The only negative part I've experienced is that the water bottle holder only holds really small bottles. It doesn't expand wide enough. A typical water bottle won't fit in the holder and will need to be carried in the main compartment.

Very cool little bag. Switched over from another big brand and this surpasses my old bag.

This is a very basic small backpack, done in sling style. It is very attractive, but I returned mine because I think, deep down, that I'm just not a sling person. I like having 2 sets of shoulder straps if I'm going to carry a pack, even if I usually only use one of them.

Use it for light work activities

Great for Commuter.

Great bag. I had the Lumbnical S bag but this is more comfortable to wear and holds more items. I love the look and convenience of this bag.

I use it daily, Carrie's all my essentials to help run my business. Great inside space and useful pockets. Only downside it's a little uncomfortable with the sling strap.

Pocket on strap really not functional to store a phone, just make it a bit bigger! Water bottle pocket also a bit too small and compression strap broke when I tried to secure a jacket. Holds stuff ok

I use this to carry my iPad Pro and iPad mini when I am out and about. It is a snug fit for the iPad Pro with magic keyboard, but works well without the big clunkiness of a full backpack.

My child (8) uses it to carry snacks, small toys or switch around with us. It was a bit smaller than we expected but it works well and my child loves it.

Nice but too small for my needs. Probably going to return it. Pocket for phone needs to be a tad bit larger. It's a VERY tight fit for my phone.

Overall love this bag! I have an older sling pack from North Face and I was wanting something a bit smaller so this was perfect for my needs! The only thing that would make it even better is if it could be worn over either shoulder. This one can only be worn over your right shoulder, and I typically wear my sling packs over my left so it's taken quite a bit of getting used to.

Was hoping to snag the black but the blue is great too! It's the perfect size for a hike and durable.

Great everyday carry all bag. Use it for light hikes also. Durable and light weight small pack that looks great!

It is a gift and I have not given it to the person yet. The quality looks great, it's very functional, and it provides a nice in-between size. Thank you.

This is a great product. The materials are strong and I able to fit everything my 4 year old needs for a day out side.

convenient size, good internal organization, carries well. The phone pocket on the sling is not really usable for an iPhone

Disappointed by how small it was. Also seemed too delicate for hikes and trips.

Great, well mad. Perfect size.

Smaller than I thought it would be. Some of the pockets are useless because they are shallow. Would not recommend it for the price.

I bought it for travel - perfect for when a fanny pack is too small and back pack is too big. Fit my DSLR camera nicely for street photography. As others have commented, the side pocket is pretty tight for a water bottle, but other than that, very useful and durable sling.

This is a great sling bag. The size is perfect and it can hold a lot. I would buy another cool color variation in a second.

This sling has it all. Perfect size, lots of storage all in the perfect size sling. I would buy this again in another color variation.
