  • Excellent 6L sling
Size: One Size Color: Duck Green/New Taupe Green
Great bag! Nice looking, well built, plenty of pockets. The padded strap and padded/vented back are very nice. 6L could be tight for some day trips (for example if you needed to carry more than a rain shell or puffer). Only minor complaints are that the water bottle pocket is too tight for anything other than a very skinny bottle and the strap pocket is small for most phones. ... show more

  • Good for EDC and daily use.
Size: One Size Color: Duck Green/New Taupe Green
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

  • Almost perfect.
Size: One Size Color: Duck Green/New Taupe Green
For a sling bag, it's all you need. It doesn't get 5 stars because the water bottle strap is way too small. How did North Face design such a flaw into one of their bags?

  • Just a few feature would make this a real winner.
I am rewriting my original review that said this bag is too small to be useful. I have figured out how to make it useful. I also own both the Patagonia Atom and the Osprey Daylight Sling and all have their pros and cons but the Borealis comes closest for my very specific needs. Pros: The bag is small and pretty light for day use. The main compartment has two zips so it can load from the top or from the side which is very handy. I use it for a 16 oz Zojirushi thermos and a few other small things. There is a mesh zip compartment inside the main compartment that I use for cash, band aids, tissues, credit cards, etc. I could fit some sunglasses and other things into the main compartment as there is still some room. It is comfortable to wear and, since I wear it mostly in the front, easy to access and use. The smaller front zip compartment is handy for my phone. The tiny compartment on the strap is handy for keys. The side compartment is really narrow and fits some very small items like a tiny umbrella. Cons I do not know how anyone fits a phone into the strap compartment. It you want to jam one in there because you will not get it out often then I guess it works since it is stretchy. I do not know how anyone fits any water bottle into the side compartment. If it was all stretchy material with a rigid velcro or adjustable strap to keep it open then it would work well. YMMV since some people manage these things. It is a well thought-out bag that could use a few tweaks here and there. A dark grey/white color would also be nice. ... 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 great compact bag for carrying around small devices.
Size: One Size Color: Blue Flax/Twilight Galaxy
It's on the more pricey for a sling this small, but it does come with the build quality you'd expect from The North Face, ultimately making it worth the price. The soft material in some of the pockets are a great addition because I use it to carry around handheld devices such as the Ayn Thor, along with USB C cables, and a power bank with a screen that I don't want to get mangled and scratched. It's extremely light weight, durable, and made comfortable by the thick padded shoulder strap. ... show more

  • Overpriced. Odd design choices.
Size: One Size Color: Garnet Dark Heather/Garnet
This bag is a good size. However, it's way over priced for what you're getting. There are better options for $25 here on Amazon. I get you're paying for the brand. What I don't get is that a company that charges you more because they supposedly build quality gear, made some poor design choices on this. I appreciate that its lightweight, thats what I wanted but some things don't make sense to me. The back of the bag has thick padding where it touches your back. It's unnecessary, the pack is so small. Unless you put a spiked bar of lead in there you don't need that much padding on the back. It takes away storage space in an already small area. Meanwhile... the strap has no padding. It doesn't make sense. Why would my back need padding but not the area that is supporting the weight of the pack? The strap should be padded. Also the the strap should be wider for longer. It would give you more comfort if you wanted it lower on your back. The strap should be longer as well so it can sit lower on your back. Last, the bottle holder barely fits a 20oz bottle. Plus it could be deeper. Oh, and the strap pocket is useless unless you have a flip phone. The only thing they got right is the size. For the price the practical design features are missing in a big way. I don't recommend it. ... show more
