Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

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

Thought it was better than the Patagonia Atom. It's actually smaller.

This is a small sling bag. It can fit phone, keys, water etc. However this color in particular picks up EVERY piece of dirt it comes in contact with. It’s impossible to keep clean.

It's okay. A couple of the pockets are to small to put anything useful in.

I like this sling, and my partner liked it enough to get herself one as well. My only gripes about it are that the cell phone pouch is too small for premium phones, and the water bottle pouch is too small for water bottles, lol... They struck out on the two pouches that served specific purposes... The buckle on the strap is nice. It makes it easy to remove the sling without having to do acrobatics. I would have liked a secondary strap like the Voyager Sling has.

I own one before this one and I love it. It's compact, lightweight and very comfortable. It meets my expectations for travel and adventure. However, this one I didn't like the color much so I purchased the black and only to received an email that it's out of stock so they canceled my order. But when I looked up online, there's still 5 left. So I emailed back with a screenshot showing 5 left. So I should be getting my order. Anyway, I checked again after 2 days, there's still 5 left but this time it's no longer on sale. What a disappointment! They should have updated the item online.

adorable bag but a very inconvenient size. it's too small inside & pretty much impossible to use comfortably. i don't know how this is made by the north face - an outdoor specialist company. this is pretty generic and i wasn't impressed.

Like the backpack, only downside water bottle holder a bit tight when backpack is loaded

Everything about this bag is great except for the size. Needs to be large enough to fit tablet in secure pouch. Also, the pocket in the front should be able to fit a "regular" phone. Build quality and features are top notch.

i'm in love with the color combo. the bag itself is a small sling & it's excellent quality and looks great, however, i'm unable to make it work as it's a bit too small and the inner main compartment doesn't have the organization i need to downsize to a smaller daily bag... i recommend it for hikes & some outings as i would use it for... my everyday bag must be a smidge bigger. thanks!

Great for small amount of items but the water bottle holder doesn't hold even small standard bottles

Great mini version of the original but the one sling design makes the weight distribution uneven and hard to find the right position. Can hold a surprising amount of stuff and webbing on outside helps hold raincoats, umbrellas, etc. I used this as a grab and go diaper bag with just essentials for trips to playground and for travel.

I bought this to use on a trip, but its really small. It probably wouldn't hold more than a purse. And the water bottle pocket is really small! I don't know what water bottle would even fit. I returned

It has nice colors. The strap pocket fits my 12 Pro Max. But the main compartment and water bottle compartment is very small. The water bottle compartment cant hold a standard water bottle. And the tablet compartment is for like a Kindle. Not and ipad. My iPad 10 fits, but hardly. The expandable part on front wont hold much either. I work outside doing inspections and I thought this would work. I will need something a bit bigger. I really wish that this worked out.

Thiis bag is too small for a man 5-11but it's a nice bag .NF please make one with longer straps.

I am 5'10 200 pounds with big shoulders and a big chest. I have this bag fully extended out and is barely big enough. I would another inch. The bottle spot is also too small. Great for my kid though!

Love the look, quality, style and size however the strap is not for normal size adult. So bummed out! Not sure if it is a fault in the operators who construct this product or its just for a small child but it doesn't work for me or anyone on my family. Would purchase it again if it had a longer strap. Its great quality and size.

I really wanted to love this bag, but unfortunately the strap is too short especially, if your wearing a thick jacket, like the North Face Parka, there was no room in between the bag and jacket. Unfortunately, i ended up returning this product.

This bag was made for a VERY small frame person.Straps need to me more adjustable

Good sized bag but could use a few adjustments. First, the strap should be longer to fit larger size people. I'm 5'0 and 190lbs and this bag fit a little snug on me at the longest strap setting. Second, the water bottle compartment is honestly a joke. It won't fit a water bottle or small hydroflask at all. Other than that, it's a pretty good size for day to day use. Just wish the strap was longer and the water bottle pocket was more practical.

Notice the iPad they feature has no cover on it. If you have your iPad in a cover, it's going to be almost impossible to fit in this bag. Bag needs to be 1/2 inch longer.

Too small I doubt it will hold an ipad with cover

Love the product and design but the strap is way too short. I am not a big person but it does not have a long enough strap for a man to wear this. Fits my wife no problem. Looks like she will be wearing it instead of me.

Fits pretty small and doesn't hold a lot of stuff, and feels pretty cheap

The strap is too small if you on the bigger side by aside from that it would be a great bag
