Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

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!!!

I read the reviews and knowing that reviews are subjective I went ahead and purchased this sling. Big mistake. I was being choked by the strap. Will return and buy the borealis mini

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.

I use this backpack on days I'm out on walks with my two 'S (Rotties Kobe and Cece), and out running errands. It's a great go to to throw all your randoms in and get out the door!

I've been on the hunt for a sling bag to use for shorter hikes and rock climbing. It was really important to me that it had a pocket on the front strap for quick access to my phone. This was one of just two bags that had that feature. The description stated that the pocket would fit a cell phone and it does but my only complaint would be that it's a very snug fit (IPhone 14 max) and a little challenging to get in and out. I am obsessed with the color and everything else about the bag though.

Needed a small bag that fit in a motorcycle satchel.

For our vacation to disneyland. Very useful. Alot of things you can put.

It is too small. Maybe great for a child, but not an adult male

Perfect lightweight sling pack for easy grab and go. Holds all important essentials for travel, hiking, etc.

I used this bag for a two week mission trip to carry some of the basics I needed during the day. The bag is very well-made and held up well to daily wear and tear. There was plenty of room for my phone, and other items like wallets, hydration packets, sunscreen and bug spray. Overall the bag was a little bit larger than I was expecting but it worked well. The single strap fit was comfortable although often awkward to take off.

Dad loves his new sling pack! Uses it everywhere he goes! Thank you for making solid items that are useful.

The bag is overall well made. But as other reviewers state, the strap is too short and the water bottle holder is so small it can only hold something that is a 3 ounce bottle for TSA compatibility. Doesn't work for holding any water bottles at all, And we tried a lot of them.
