Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

I buy coats and parkers and back packs from this company. i like that these products are water resistant because in Boston the snow is relentless. The snow becomes black slush and it sprays everywhere. It does NOT help that this interior is white. Its obnoxious. I thought this brand was about rugged outdoor wear in harsh climates. A white interior is for no rain no snow no hiking no sports which creates dirty hands. I have to find a faucet to wash my hands and take off my gloves to go into this white glove back pack. Not sensible at all.

don't buy

The bag is not as big as the photo. It is quite compact. The strap is low quality and short. It barely fits me I wear large size shirts

Product was def not designed for a wide shoulder person more like for a petite female body it fit on my 11 year old perfectly the shoulder strap is way to short and you can't fit a regular sized iPhone into it which I thought was the whole point buyer beware

School backpack Bought before great quality

The pack is great. I wish the strap was a little longer but overall it's perfect for what I need. I broke my ankle and I'm unable to carry a purse sue to my crutches. This is a great substitute.

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

Overall good craftsmanship, but the strap is comically short and the little pocket on the strap sits on top of your shoulder instead of across your chest. Poor Strap design.

My husband has a secret obsession with back packs. This one is the perfect size to not be combersome.

I like the design of this small backpack. Even when you know it is small, the space inside is enough to save whats you need in a hiking day. You can hold it as backpack or front pack and is absolutely comfortable.

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.

Oustanding bag, lightweight, but extrenely durable. Very well made!

Great color! My son loves it! Stores his water bottle in front and uses it in Hoboken and carried it all through our vacation in Aruba

the belt is to short.

I read reviews before purchasing and just like it was pointed out the sling strap is really short. Too short, even for someone of my small stature. So I modified the strap. I purchased a $10 kit which included 3'4" webbing, quick release buckles and slides and was able to extend the strap with no sewing to fit comfortably. I like the Sling Pack and use it for everyday carry. I would buy it again but would prefer not to have to extend the strap to fit correctly.

Use it all the time. Easy access to items I need.

The sling is a hit!! Purchased for my 18yr old neice as a birthday gift and she is loving it! Quality is great. Style is simple. This bag will last for many years!

Perfect size.. I'd call it 'Petit size" Awesome for a minimalist like me. I have used it every single day since it arrived in the mail. Fits pretty much everything I need to get me thru the day. I take it everywhere.. Gym, Work, Park, Walks..

Perfect size and the material is strong and durable but light. I use this bag as a travel bag for some clothes and electronics and everything fits perfectly.

Use it for work: ideal in tight areas/spaces where climbing is necessary. ideal for when I need to carry my essential field items.

Used this on my recent trip up to northern Michigan! It was great for carrying supplies for a short day trip!

I use this pack all the time. I love how it fits my phone, has a fuzzy pouch to quickly slip in sunglasses, and Carries a book and water bottle perfectly. I use the bungee straps for a light jacket. My all time favorite.

This is a great daily bag. I read all the reviews about it being small. Well, it is, which is what I wanted. I'm 6'2 and it sits just fine - Carrie's the essentials, though I wish the water bottle part was a bit bigger.

I absolutely love this bag it's the perfect size for my everyday urban commuting on the train. It's not too big and not too small. I also use it for cycling as well as hiking.!

This small, lightweight cross body pack worked great for half day hikes in the Adirondacks last week. Good stability for scrambling over rocks, crossing creeks and hiking thru woods. Just enough capacity to hold essentials and a small water bottle. Really appreciated the padding on the back of the pack and also in the front zipper pocket where I put my phone. Secure keychain clip inside zippered interior mesh pocket. Big fan of the small zippered compartment on the front strap where I stashed a snack. Highly recommend!!!
