Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

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.

You can't put much in this or else it will start spilling out the sides the moment you unzip the pouch. It is deceiving. The max you can fill it is halfway. Front pocket is too small. Water bottle holder does not work. And you can only wear it across the chest one way/cant switch it out to other side if it gets uncomfy. Another disappointment. For some reason the bags and luggage from TNF are always flawed in some major way that renders the product inferior to brands like Cotopaxi or Patagonia. The Patagonia atom sling is far superior in aesthetics and function. These colors are also wack.

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.

All base on colors

Packed this to fly for a day trip. Too narrow to fit a tablet. Water bottle holder is useless. You can't fit a bottle in it. Used it for a granola bar instead. Bag is very small so more like a purse. Inside can fit a small book, that's about it. The pros are the pockets. It has a soft lined outside pocket, a sunglass pocket on the strap, and the inside pockets are nice for organizing. Just can't fit much more than purse items. If you want a more comfortable purse, this is for you. If you want a small backpack or to pack a water bottle, look elsewhere.

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.

Lots of great features, but the strap is far too short. Please make more inclusive sizes for taller/larger people. For few pennies, the strap could easily be longer. A hidden pocket on the back for a wallet or passport would be useful.

Useful but...very short shoulder belt.
