The North Face Borealis Sling Bag | Crossbody Bag with Water Repellent Finish, Adjustable Strap, Multiple Compartments, Tablet Sleeve, Asphalt Grey Light Heather/TNF Black, One Size

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.

It's a good pack, BUT... It's just not for me. Not because the pack is bad, I just don't like sling bags. I really tried to work with this, as it really is the perfect size. It fit a Kindle Fire 8 HD, a small med-kit (more of a boo-boo kit), keys, wallet, and has a pocket for my phone. Though the pocket I used for the phone is probably for sunglasses, as it was lined with this really soft material that made it difficult to get my phone in and out of said pocket. The phone would fit better if there was no case, but who's rocking an iphone w/no case these days? It's also just a touch too small for a iphone 13 pro max in a Otterbox Commuter case. The pocket on the strap that's meant for a phone DEFINITELY won't fit the iphone 13 pro max, but WILL fit a small can of pepper spray. I'm not sure what kind of water bottle they had in mind when they made this bag, but the "water bottle pocket" perfectly fits a full size CAT tourniquet. So that'll tell you how small the pocket is. Sure, there's more room, but not enough for even a typical 20 oz. drink bottle.

Great bag for vacations. You can fit a lot of stuff in it. Meant to be worn on back but can be worn on chest well enough. Used it while hiking with my kid on my back. Very convenient.

This is a good bag. It is close to being great. The strap is simply too wide and the zipper pocket is not well place. They worked hard to make the bag symmetrical, it looks good but simply does not stay in the "good looking' position. They need to let this bag relax into the natural position gravity and motion force. The water bottle pocket is a joke. It works well for my glass case and a small packable sack I always carry with me. The build quality it great, just needs some tweeks.

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.ConsI 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.

This shoulder bag is good quality, light, good for carrying passports, wallets, snacks, tickets, sunglasses, cellphones, anything you would want to protect while traveling. But it’s not big enough for a a light jacket or even a water bottle. I carried this for 2 weeks during a recent trip to Spain.

Great quality bag with great quality materials. It is very small. The strap isn’t comfiest. Although it rest comfortably against the back. The bottle pockets on the side are very small. Mine had a pice double stitched into a fold, was fine once I cut that accidental stitch out. Still can only hold a small water bottle. Also the pockets inside the large compartment vertical instead or horizontal, so grabbing stuff from inside while wearing the bag is not ergonomic at all.I bought the City Hike travel Inspira for more volume, but I do use both. The Inspira will hold an iPad 11” Pro and this one will not. Not even close.If this was a bit bigger with 2 large horizontal pockets on the inside, a wider strap, it would be perfect.

I bought one for my boyfriend and I when we go to universal studios, we loved it!! Super light weight, cute had a lot of room inside and fit in the free lockers for roller coasters!! The zipper was really smooth, very durable, and I love the color!! I can’t wait to use this when we go hiking. Highly recommend
