    • Everything you want that is missing from the Patagonia Atom Sling and Osprey Daylite Sling
I own the Patagonia Atom Sling and the Osprey Daylite Sling. This has the water bottle holder on the outside in which neither Atom nor Daylite include on their bag. I can fit 2 water bottles on the inside for my partner and I, and one water bottle on the outside for our kiddo. I cannot fit 3 water bottles in the Atom nor Daylite. The Borealis has become our family default bag due to this feature. I really love the mint color with the hunter green accent. It is nice. The Borealis has the front long zipper pouch like the Daylite Sling. The open interior similar to the Atom Sling, and it also includes an envelope style pouch. A mesh inside pocket similar to the Daylite Sling. The inside space provides for a little more interior organization similar to the Daylite bag and unlike the Atom bag. The zipper goes halfway down one side (end at the water bottle holder) and all of the way down the other. This makes it easy to access the inside contents of the bag. I water bottle holder is partially padded and partially mesh. Love this. It's not a huge pocket, but it is big enough to easily fit a Smart bottle of water or similar shapes of containers. The Borealis has a longer zipped pouch for your phone on the shoulder piece similar to the Atom Sling. Lots of little places to clip keys, sunglasses, etc. The back of the bag is lightly padded. It has a bungie cord on the outside for storing shirts, etc. unlike either of the bags. LOVE this feature! All of the features I love individually from each bag is included which overlaps for the features that are deficient from each bag. It is as if the two bags had a fling, and this was their baby. This bag is nearly perfect. The cons: I wish the inside had a small little key clip. Osprey always has the little red key clip. This would have been a great addition inside of the larger opening. There is one located in the mesh pocket, but it's too difficult to access (see comment below). I do not use it for my keys because of this access issue. The front outside zip pocket (similar to the Daylite) is lined with ... fleece? Why would NorthFace do this? When my sanitizer bottle leaks all over the inside pocket because the lid was cheaply made, it soaks EVERYTHING. Also, this will be a pain to dry when I finally wash the bag to remove sweat marks. Why would you do this NorthFace? Just, why? It would have been a much better design had it been the quick dry material of the Daylite bag. The fleece makes it difficult to push items into the pocket and definitely when you try to pull them out. I am able to squeeze less into the pocket too. I LOVE this pockets on my Osprey and hate that the pocket is so small on my Atom. I was really excited when I saw the Borealis included a pocket that more closely aligned with the style of the Daylite. Then I opened the pocket and started to cry. ... Not really. But I was sad. ... This was an awful design decision. If I could change one thing about this bag, this would be it. The zipper (next con) is annoying, but this makes it difficult to keep the bag clean and hard to use. Super annoying. The zipper for the inside mesh pocket zips left to right. That seems like it would make sense, but it is awful for trying to get items out of the mesh pocket while wearing the sling bag. I essentially have to take the bag off so that I can hold the bag a different way in order to get to the zipper. If the bag is empty then this would not be nearly as annoying, but since my bag is never empty this becomes annoying enough that I hate using the pocket. I understand that maybe the design team thought overtime the zipper may more easily open, or it would accidentally get opened if zipped from right to left. However, it seems like they simply did not test the bag's functionality with multiple types of customers. It's pretty obvious that in order to get a wider pocket the zipper needed to go from edge-to-edge. This is nice. Though, I wish they would have made the zipper edge-to-edge, from right to left. I would only need to partially open my bag, while on my person, to grab a quick band aid, my keys, etc. The padding on the back of the bag is awesome if you're tired of sharp, pointy items from inside the bag poking your back. The downside is that it adds a little weight, and it gets warmer faster. It's only noticeably heavier to me because I'm used to wearing the Osprey Daylite which feels lighter than the Atom. Not a deal breaker, but worth noting if you plan on wearing this all day on a bike ride or on an outside walk where you may have sweat marks on your back. I would not wear this to a work event that required my back to stay dry. I just noticed it already shows dirt and sweat marks on the shoulder strap. It has only been worn 3-4 times. Maybe a dark color would hide that better? I have owned the Daylite and Atom bags for years without either showing sweat marks. Those have definitely been worn on hot, sweaty days. Maybe the material on the Borealis is more prone to staining? No idea. This is nitpicky, but worth mentioning in case it is a problem for other wearers. Due to the shape of the bag, it does not sit as comfortably as the Osprey Daylite or Patagonia Atom. If forced to choose, I would say it felt more similar to the Atom, but I find the Daylite more comfortable to wear. I have a petite frame (5'1"), and the thinner teardrop shape of the Osprey is far more comfortable and does not slide down as easily. The Atom's shoulder strap does not fit as comfortable as the Daylite. The Borealis design also tends to slide on me because the weight of the bag is not evenly distributed. Not a deal breaker. However, worth mentioning in case you are comparing between the three bags and you have a petite frame like me. Overall, love the bag. I definitely recommend it. I know I said the biggest annoyance is the fleece lining, but now I am wavering over the zipper of the interior mesh pocket. The benefit of the mesh pocket replaces a deficiency in the Atom bag. The larger front fleece lined pocket also counters a deficiency of the Atom bag. I use this as an all-purpose bag for kid stuff (first aid, toys, snacks, water) and adult stuff (allergy meds, keys, wallet, phone, sunglasses, etc.) and family needs (water bottles, more snacks, etc.). I need every bit of organization I can get. I love the functional details that are similar to the Atom bag - shout out to the front zipper phone pocket - but I need the functionalities that were meant to be similar to the Daylite bag. Otherwise, I am forced to return to choosing between the Atom and Daylite, knowing each having their deficiencies. I hope this helps! ... show more

    • Great for Travel or the Beach
Size: One Size Color: Blue Flax/Twilight Galaxy
My wife asked for this for an upcoming beach vacation. She wanted to bring a bag to hold our beach towels, snorkel masks, water bottles and sunscreen. And it did! The expandable exterior holds heavy items so the capacity is more than just the interior of the bag. The silver color is a great neutral and we found it would be easy to spot clean. The crossbody fit was good and she said it fit comfortably. The zipper quality is great, holding up well even with it full. We still had space for keys, phones and slim sunglasses cases. I was able to fit my thin wallet in as well. Highly recommend if you are looking for a little bag that packs well and holds a lot. I even wore it as a 5’10” euro slim build guy and it was adjustable to fit me comfortably as well. We will be using it again and again for kayaking and SUP trips too. ... show more

    • A lot of space and super convenient!
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf White-npf
I absolutely love the North Face Borealis Sling Bag! It’s the perfect blend of practicality and style, making it my go-to for errands and quick outings. What Stands Out: 1. Spacious Design: The bag is surprisingly roomy for a sling bag. I can easily fit diapers, baby essentials, and even my personal items without it feeling overstuffed. 2. Comfortable Fit: The adjustable strap makes it comfortable to wear, even when it’s packed full. It’s lightweight but sturdy enough to handle all my mom-on-the-go needs. 3. Functional Layout: The compartments are well-organized, making it easy to grab what I need quickly—no more digging around at the bottom of the bag! 4. Durable and Stylish: True to North Face’s reputation, it’s built to last while maintaining a sleek and modern look. Whether I’m running errands or heading out for a quick trip, this bag keeps me hands-free and prepared. Highly recommend it for anyone who needs a versatile and spacious sling bag ... show more

    • Small but roomy.
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf White-npf
I guess I have no concept of what 6L is. This was smaller than expected but it is the right size for light travel or commute with just the essentials. The opening is great: super wide so you can get stuff in. The phone/front strap is tiny. I would not put my phone there. The water bottle is where I’d put or the front pocket it if I wore it in the front (backwards); others wise, I carry my phone in my jean or coat pockets. Some say the cross strap has slim cusionioning compared to others, I I think it's fine. I don't need the bulk of a heavily padded strap and this thing should not get that heavy so a thick pad is not necessary. The big miss is the strap. I’m a normal man and this thing barely fits. 6” more and this would have been perfect. It would fit a kid great. The issue is it barely fits me with just my shirt on. However, what if I wear it over a light jacket or vest? Super tight! Debating on keeping this, but the quality is there. ... show more

    • Definitely my favorite mini hiking bag
Size: One Size Color: White Dune/Tnf Black
Review Image by Sammy
I LOVE HER, perfect hiking bag I took it the next day to enchanted rock. It held everything perfectly. I fit 2 large water bottles, snacks, my phone, keys and a mini med kit. It has a soft lined zipper pocket on the inside with a key clip. I will say the outer "bottle pocket" will not hold any bottle I have, unless you severely crush a normal plastic water bottle. I almost bought a Patagonia bag like this then I was also looking into Cotopaxi on here but I liked the look of these way better and the extra pockets. ... show more

    • Good for EDC and daily use.
Excellent day pack, not to big not to small. Inside pocket is lined with a soft material that should not scratch glasses or a small device with a screen. The balance is excellent, if you were it aligned with your back you will barely feel it. Water bottle pocket is slim not for anything over a 16 oz. soda bottle size. Pocket on the sling will hold a average phone and the pocket does stretch a little, will also hold a CAT tourniquet by itself. Two tone green does not scream 2A or mil guy. Blends in the public well for daily use. The main pocket could be a mid size EDC pocket and the same pocket has a mesh pocket that could carry a individual small med kit. Bungee system on back will hold a lite rain jacket if folded. ... show more

    • NOT THE BEST
I have the bag over a year now. First off the strap really only goes one way across your back. Other sling bag have a clip so you can clip either side of the bag for left or right. Qater bottle holder to small nonise for me. For the price they could of make it a little thicker and added another pocket with a zipper. The design it is now everything is thrown pretty much on top of each other. Good bag for on the go people who only want to carry a couple of things. Good quality but not enough options for the price. I probably wouldn't buy it again it I needed a new one. ... show more
