Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

For me, this is the *perfect* every day bag. I hesitated for a while because I couldn't really tell the size. So here, have a picture of my mini next to my borealis.

I took this bag to Arches and Canyon Lands and it was perfect. Had plenty of space for my hiking gear and food and was still lightweight. Also used it as an everyday bag and it was stylish and comfortable. If you are thinking of buying it, buy it.

GREAT! Backpack and very spacious. I read a lot of reviews where people said it was too small and couldn't fit stuff. YES, the side pocket doesn't fit a yeti or a hydro flask but it does inside the bag and a 40oz bag. I was able to fit my iPad, Bose headphones, charging stuff with cables and a lot more and still had space. I originally had bought it for a Savannah trip where we would be walking a lot and wanted to have something rugged but still cute and my bag pulled through. I had it on all day and as I shopped I put it in my bag and even though throughout the day it started to get heavier the cushion on the back and straps was great! I now use it everyday and don't have to worry about it being on the floor or getting messed up. I would most def recommend and buy it again.

I use this mini backpack to hold all my daily essentials. It has the space of a roomy purse for normal shopping/walking around but with the hands-free part of a backpack. It's versatile enough to also use on outdoor hikes to climbing walls. It holds my water bottle, climbing harness and I can even strap on my climbing shoes on the front. Straps are padded, adjustable, and comfy.

This backpack is the perfect size! I used it for a week straight at Disney World and it was able to hold a light jacket, a water bottle, wallet, snacks, and some small toiletries like hand sanitizer and sunscreen. At the same time, it didn't feel bulky or heavy and was great in the heat and rain. I couldn't have hoped for a better bag!

This was perfect for traveling and hiking!

This mini backpack is a great grab and go pack. I recently took it on a trip to Florida and it held all my necessities plus my kids daily essentials. I was able to put my wallet, phone, keys, mini first aid, hand sanitizer, pouch with little extras, my son's diaper and wipes, his water bottle and ipad mini. I have also been taking this to the dog park and it holds all my dogs needs as well. I like the strap adjustment and the back padding, it makes the pack comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.There are also tons of places to clip items onto the bag. A standard size water bottle doesn't fit in the side pouch, i just put my phone in there for an easy reach. I would recommend the Borealis mini.

I bought this backpack for my Disneyland trip to put kids snack. It's perfect because it's not bulky and can be easily stored. Quality is great even for a mini size.

So compact. I can use it everywhere

I love this little backpack. I use it as a camera bag to hold my binoculars and camera when I'm hiking and doing nature photography. The straps are pretty comfortable, and it holds quite a bit for a little bag!

This bag is so cute and it's my everyday bag. I love it!

I'm not really a purse girl, so this is a great option and so much more functional than a Kankin, which is more like a kindergartener's school backpack. This has so many pockets, has comfortable straps and is a modern color. 10/10 TNF

Bought on recommendation for taking to Disney. Haven't used it yet but love the color and quality. It has enough space to load all my stuff and it's not to heavy when done. I like the smaller backpack size.

This backpack is the perfect size for a hike, skiing, or just around the town. It is lightweight with a ton of storage. I am ready to ditch my purse!

The color is so cute and quality is great

Bought this for a gift exchange and it was the gift everyone wanted! Useful for many different things, well made, and stylish.

Great pack for traveling and hauling small gear. My niece loves it!

Love my mini bag and get lots of compliments on it! The color is perfect and it's the perfect size for the day! Not to big not to small!

My now favorite bag

Love this! So great for mini bag days when I don't want to carry a purse!

I already bought a white one before. It is great!

This is the perfect size for day hiking trips.

This backpack has the perfect size for walking, really confortable and the color is like the picture. It's perfect for carrying essentials like a water bottle, a small notebook, or your wallet and phone. The material feels durable and the design is modern.

This is a very good day backpack for a quick little hike. I used mine when I went hiking in Red rock canyon!
