THE NORTH FACE Borealis SIing Bag Crossbody Adjustable Strap Water Repellent Finish Multiple Compartments Tablet Sleeve

Absolutely fantastic sling bag. The quality is really good and it holds a decent amount of items. I can easily fit two regular sized water bottles into this bag and still have room for small items like napkins, lip balm, cards, etc. This bag is absolutely great for everyday use, even just for casual wear to go on dates. Whenever someone is thirsty, all I have to do is to pull out a water bottle and don’t have to worry about buying water at a nearby store or anything. It also looks really good with my streetwear/baggy type of fashion style. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

First off, great bag. Just not right for me. I was looking for a cross body bag that didn’t scream tacti-cool for my every day carry stuff. And technically, this bag fits everything. But everything fits tight. I carry a GMRS radio with me. I put it in the water bottle pocket, fits. But it sticks out the top a bit. I’m currently carrying a baofeng DM-32, so it’s a taller radio. But my TD-H3 or TD-H8 fit fine in there and don’t stick out. The pocket on the strap is located really high. It rests on my collarbone. It will fit an iPhone 16 pro max with thin case, but it’s a struggle. You can’t just slide it in. And then the phone will ride uncomfortably on your collar bone, with the strap angling off your body. So that’s a no go. It’s fine for small soft things, but I personally don’t have anything to put in there. The main compartment is small. There is a tablet sleeve and I was able to get an 8” tablet with cover in there, but it was tight. Maybe a naked iPad mini would fit nice. If not carrying a tablet in the sleeve, you could carry a pew pew in the sleeve compartment. Any compact or sub compact will fit fine and doesn’t bounce around too much. There is a little more room in the main compartment but not much. You could stuff a non insulated rain jacket ( nylon type) in there but not anything bigger. In the front cover, inside the main compartment is a small zippered pocket that fits my wallet, small notebook and pens. No problem there. There is also a pocket on the front flap of the pack, that opens via zipper on the side. It has the soft microfiber stuff so as to not scratch your sunglasses. And there’s a god bit of room in there. The outside cover has bungees so you could remove a layer of clothing if you get too hot and stuff it under the bungee. I find that looks tacky AF, and would never do, but someone might. Overall, it is a really good bag. But for my requirements, it doesn’t fit the bill. I’ll be keeping it though, as I like options as things change. It just won’t be my current goto bag. Read more

I am in love with this bag. I originally bought it for my fishing gear for a backpacking trip and now carry it everywhere. It's basically my man purse now. I'm diabetic so I have meds, testing supplies, wallet, snacks, drink mixes, flashlight, pocket knife, reading glasses, etc. It has a special soft lined pocket that is great for your phone or glasses as they come out cleaner from moving within the pocket! Strap it easily adjustable and has a retaining loop so the extra strap is secured in place. I love the color and quality. My daughter and wife each have the larger two strap version they use for school and work. I've always liked the quality and costumer service from The North Face. The outside elastic cord on one came untied inside and they were willing to send a replacement at no charge and didn't require a return. You get what you pay for, The North Face is a pricy premium brand but the quality warrants the price. My Jacked from this company is 15 years old and looks like I just bought it. Read more
