Borealis Sling Bag combines compact versatility with adventure-ready features
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Borealis Sling Bag is my favorite grab-and-go option for short hikes or urban adventures. It’s lightweight but still fits everything I need, from a tablet to a water bottle. The padded strap and fleece-lined pocket are nice touches that make it comfortable and functional for everyday use."
For quick outings or streamlined adventures, the The North Face Borealis Sling Bag packs a punch in a compact package. Inspired by the iconic Borealis backpack, this sling offers the same beloved bungee storage system but in a smaller, more portable design. Its main compartment features a mesh pocket and key hook for easy organization, while a padded sleeve fits a tablet or large phone securely.
Thoughtfully designed for modern explorers, the Borealis Sling Bag includes a fleece-lined pocket for delicate essentials, like sunglasses or electronics, and a side water bottle holder for easy hydration on the go. The adjustable, padded shoulder strap ensures all-day comfort and even includes a secure-zip pocket for quick access to your phone or other necessities. Built with 210D recycled nylon ripstop and finished with a durable, water-repellent coating, this bag can handle spontaneous rain showers or everyday wear and tear with ease.

Great for everyday use!
Use it as a day to day sling. It's a perfect size. I have not traveled with it yet, as I have the mini back pack which is perfect for travel.

Great doggie day pack
I love this backpack and would give it 5 stars except the bungee cord broke after 1st use and custom service refused to send me a replacement bungee. Instead they wanted me to send on my entire backpack which would take too long for my planned trip. The pack itself is a great design, perfect doggie day pack. Water bottle holder could be a bit larger and bottom could be a little more flat to stand up when loading pack. Overall a great pack but not happy with customer service.

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).

Yes
.Exactly what I needed. The small compartment easily fits an iPad Mini, and the side pocket can hold a 16oz water bottle without issue. The strap pocket has a tight fit for bigger phones A flashlight and pepper spray fit perfectly with extra room to spare. There's also a dedicated sunglasses pouch lined with soft microfiber fabric to prevent scratching.

Its a nice little pack but it is little.
I thought I would use this for hiking and I love the sling. However, I would have difficulty fitting two bottles of water, snacks, and a mini first aid kit in this. There really is not much room.
