Great for quick trips
I really like the majority of this bag. I knew the dimensions when I bought it, but I wish it were a tiny bit bigger. The internal organizer pouch works well for small items and I like that it's fixed to the bag and doesn't flop around. The fleece lined front pocket is great for a phone. The large zipper pulls make the main pocket quick to open The external bungee can be used to hold really thin items, but there isn't a lot of room for bulkier items. The strap is comfortable, but it would be better if there was a way to adjust where the pouch sits across your chest. The bag seems well built. My main complaint is with the bottle holder on the side- this can be used for things like a telescoping fishing rod, but it barely works for a bottle. It's a tight squeeze to get a disposable bottle in there; forget about trying to get anything wider (even a narrow hydro).
Only to Cary small things
Use it for light work activities
Love it!! Great small sling
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted a sling bag so my shoulders weren't tired at end of the day when wearing on trails or in amusement parks. This was perfect. This backpack is not quite as big as I expected it to be, I am 6'0" about 170 (see photos). However, this was not a problem for me! I came to enjoy how small it was, I can pack everything I need for a day in it. Wallet, keys (plastic carabiner in interior zip compartment is great and something I like in other outdoor brands), a packable jacket like north face or other brand, portable charger, chapstick, water bottle, etc. Love the color as well! Would recommend it
NOTHING FITS IN THE POCKETS
I'm SO DISAPPOINTED in North Face. I thought they would actually try their packs before they sell them. I specifically purchased this bag because it said it held a phone in the strap pocket and a water bottle. I have a normal sized Samsing phone that WON'T fit in the pocket. I tried every size water bottle in the REI store, NONE will fit into the water bottle pocket. I can barely get a granola bar in it! I'm returning this ASAP!
Yes I would like to buy again in the future, in other color
I like so much this product, I use this one when I go to the gym or when I go to visit my family, girlfriend❤️
Smaller than expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.
very versatile, you need this when you travel!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it; its perfect for flights and hikes. I tucked a selfie stick mini tripod in the side pocket. My cell phone fits perfectly in the rear outer pocket and, surprisingly, also in the strap-mounted zip pocket. The large compartment fits my DSLR camera with a telephoto lens, a drone with a remote, a tablet 8", or a 40oz water bottle. I would give it 5 stars, but I wish it had a stabilizer strap so I could run with it or to keep it from sliding around when cycling.
Only Sling Bags I Use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm collecting your new "Limited Run" Borealis Sling Bags. Perfect size for my needs. I do replace the shoulder strap though. I'm 6ft.2in. with a 56in. chest. Replacement strap is 2in. wide and I use many different colors.
Of course I recommend itYuck that was úyy
