Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

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

I use this little bag to carry my Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch when I'm taking the train to work. It holds a 1 Pint Water Bottle with else but it will NOT hold a sports bottle on the side. The strap WILL NOT hold an iPhone 13 or 14 in any size so it's best to store it in the side pouch. Once you start to put stuff inside the bag itself, it's not bad. The strap is adjustable so making it fit to your shoulder and back/chest area is comfortable. The bag will expand so don't be afraid to stuff it. Quality is top notch. Better than the Herschel I replaced.

It's a nice small little bag. I'd like it more if the back strap was removal bc it's nice to just carry by hand sometimes. Also wish it was a little cheaper. But otherwise is okay

I ended up returning this bag. The shoulder strap is one-sided, designed to carry over your left shoulder if the bag is on your back or on your right shoulder if the back is on your front. I hadn't really thought about it but I couldn't get comfortable with it on my left shoulder and would prefer to have a bag I could carry on my right shoulder. Also, the water bottle holder is only large enough to hold a standard plastic water bottle. I prefer to carry a reusable 20oz bottle and it won't fit. It is otherwise made well and looks nice.

the belt is to short.

Pros: High quality, multiple pockets Cons: Small, Not Adjustable

Great Bag, High Quality, Multiple Compartments. Only downside is this bag is too small for a big person. Great for smaller size people.

The shoulder strap is REALLY short just be aware of that, using this sling with something more than a shirt will be a task in itself. I thought i knew how short it was from others reviews,i was wrong

It's fine but is way too expensive

I love this little bag but sadly the strap is just too short. It's a great lightweight day bag but tough to wrangle around your body- returning.

Just received the products 3 days ago. Just open the package and tried it on before using it on my trip. As said the strap is short. Water bottle side pocket is too small.

Not happy for this bag to cost the same price as the northface borealis mini and not be able to carry the same capacity is irritating i love sling bags and i thought that was the only difference between the two my notebook does not fit comfortably a water bottle can not fit comfortably in the designated pocket the fleece-lined pocket does not feel good on my skin and for that to be the only pocket outside of the main compartment it is an inconvenience just wanted another functional sling bag oh and the other bag is from swiss gear $20 and able to hold way more space and you can switch which side you want the strap to cross over.

Too small for my purposes. I was hopeful about the water bottle pocket, but too small even for my small water bottle.

This is a lot smaller than I expected it to be. Also, it doesn't stay in place when wearing it on a bicycle.

It's too small. The phone pocket is also too small for a iPhone Pro. They should have made it larger. Missed opportunity to make something real good here.

Not made of durable or quality materials, it feels like.

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

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