Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

Fits what I want to carry, fits well on me, quality product

I love it; its perfect for flights and hikes. I tucked a selfie stick mini tripod in the side pocket. My cell phone fits perfectly in the rear outer pocket and, surprisingly, also in the strap-mounted zip pocket. The large compartment fits my DSLR camera with a telephoto lens, a drone with a remote, a tablet 8", or a 40oz water bottle. I would give it 5 stars, but I wish it had a stabilizer strap so I could run with it or to keep it from sliding around when cycling.

This is the perfect size for everyday use as a purse. I absolutley LOVE IT

Used for all of the everyday appointments. Never have to worry about forgetting to bring an item for the appointment. The bag is just the perfect size!

Bought for travel. Fits well. The only thing I would change is the size of the outside pocket... I think it was meant to hold a water bottle, but it isn't big enough for any of the reusable bottles I have.

Perfect for a raoming book worm, or someone who may not want the hip bags.

I was drawn towards this sling because of the colors and some of the features, like the phone zipper pocket on the strap. My only negative takeaway is that it's smaller in space than the mini borealis backpack. I still like it as it's meant to be a portable backpack.

You cannot fit anything bigger than the skinniest water bottle in the water bottle sleeve. It will fit a Totes style mini umbrella, but not a water bottle. Deal breaker for me. I will be returning it. Also, be aware it's not ambidextrous.

It's just a little smaller than I thought it was going to be. Otherwise good quality. Would also be nice if the sides of the strap could be switched.

This sling bag is the perfect size for a wallet, phone, sunglasses, small tablet and misc other items. The strap is well padded. It has some well placed pockets (one is lined). Perfect for day trips or everyday carry.

Purchased it to use on short day trips. Works perfect for me. Just the right size and great style. Highly recommended!

Cool product! Versatile for going anywhere but especially when traveling.

It's too small. A little bigger would be nicer

Great little sling! It's the perfect size for my needs when walking a few blocks to work most days.

I purchased this bag to use to carry my go pro and some accessories. It worked well. It's a little small and that's why I gave it a 4. Other than that, I find it will be a useful bag. I plan on keeping it and not sending it back because I believe I will get some use out of it.

My husband loves his sling. I got it for him to use on a recent trip overseas. He used it to hold his passport and personal items. It came in very handy. There are several different compartments to hold a variety of things and it's easily accessible when needed. Definitely a great purchase.

I use this sling to carry a bunch of stuff to physical therapy so my stuff is not in all of my pockets or hands. It's a great bag and is exactly what I wanted and expected. One change I would suggest is make the location of the small pocket on the strap (for phone or sunglasses) adjustable. For me, it lands on my shoulder and not very useable. If I could move it down the strap 6 inches it would be perfect.

This is a great sling for those not looking to carry a lot and your have a narrow to average frame. This sling is probably the smallest of slings you'll find, but that is what I like about it. Its more like a fanny pack that goes on your back. I will say, I'm 5' 9" and 155lbs and this fits well. If I were any heavier or taller than say 6' this pack may be too small.

I use this product for the gym and walking my dog. Its a perfect size.

Strap too short. Too much bulky fabric inside bag that limits what the bag can actually hold.

The perfect size for wandering the streets of the great cities of the world. Compact but holds everything I need. Handy exterior pocket for glasses, and another for your phone - I have an IPhone 11Pro Max and it fits! Inside there's a pocket for my street map and a surprising about of room for a wallet, pocket rain jacket and other essentials, and the exterior water bottle pocket is a big plus or to hold a mini travel umbrella. Easy to wear either front or back and it fits fine under a jacket or sweater when walking through crowded streets. The only negative I see is the challenge of finding the right size water bottle to fit.

Nice sling and versatile. It's not really meant for bigger people or broad shoulders. Still a great everyday carry bag.
