Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

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.

Able to carry 2 thermos water bottle comfortably. A lot of pockets to hold other items

Cute bag, great quality. But smaller than I was expecting based on pictures.

Absolutely love this bag. Comfortable. Good features. The ONLY downside is that I find myself wishing the strap was a few inches longer so that when worn as a crossbody it would sling a bit lower. Could be problematic for those with an ample chest.

Was much smaller than I was thinking. Quality was good and it was a nice bag overall. I have it to my girlfriend and it worked better with her smaller frame.

Love the color. It's really comfortable to wear - great for a walk or a hike and perfect for bike riding. I appreciate the soft lining on the smaller pocket which is great for sun glasses. I only wish that the side pocket was bigger to fit a standard water bottle. Otherwise I can only imagine that pocket only being good to hold a small umbrella or a pair of glasses.

I use this sling when I'm on the go and want to keep it light. Hiking, amusement parks, mall shopping. Just a nice fitting bag with the right amount of space.

Almost exactly what I needed A little small If an IPad fit inside, it would be perfect

Love the small size and color just wish it had a larger section for the water bottle as I had to buy a really skinny one!

I saw this bag (purple/green) in a department store and loved the aesthetic. So I found it on The North Face's website and eagerly ordered one. I bought this to carry essentials for daily hikes with my dog, I was actully excited about it. But it's useless to me, the strap is too short to wear comfortably. If you are really skinny, this might work for you, but I'm disappointed that it's so limiting. Would not recommend - unless you are tiny!

A little bit small. Hope much bigger.

My husband loves this sling. One problem is he is 5'8" and 260lbs, the strap doesn't extend to where it fits comfortably around him. He still like a the concept and he likes all the compartments for little things.

Everything Fits !!!!!!

Everyday go to bag
