THE NORTH FACE 10L Mini Borealis Everyday Backpack - PFAS Free, Summit Gold/TNF Black, One Size

A purchase that fits my EDC needs. In terms of size: I can fit my iPad 11 Pro with the Magic Keyboard into the compartment sleeve inside with the pencil (the weight is comfortable because of the nice contoured shoulder straps). I can also fit my Owala 24 oz bottle inside next to 2 Fjallraven Kanken Gear pockets to separate smaller items like medications, small emergency kit with some bandaids, alcohol wipes, anti bac ointment in one bag and a small sunscreen, oil blotter, toothpicks, chapstick, eye glass cleaner wipes in the other. As for the mesh pocket inside I have my keys leashed to it then keep my passport/wallet/portable charger in there. The outside front pocket I like to keep my multi-tool, edc mini flashlight, hydration packets, hand sanitizer, and snack bars. I keep a small bottle of bug repellant on the “small bottle pocket” on the outside and I keep a packet of Kleenex tissues on the other small outside pocket. The quality of the bag feels great to touch, the appearance is clean with no extra dangling straps, and I have been an owner of the North Face (discontinued) Pandora backpack that I originally bought back in 2008! So this is a great replacement!

I love this backpack to use everyday as a purses it’s small enough to not be burdensome, but large enough to fit all of the essentials. The front pocket is also great. The straps fit great for a 5’2 average weight female. The quality is great and seems like a strong back that won’t break. I would Call it water resistant but not water proof!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BAG!!!!! This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. At first I was hesitant to buy it because of the price, but I decided to get it anyways. It fits all I need it to for a hike or a day out. It also has a slot near the zipper for anti-theft. The front pocket is a perfect fit for my iPhone and some pens. Inside the main compartment I can fit a couple big books, craft supplies, etc. It has a pocket in the main compartment that resembles a laptop sleeve. I can fit a pretty tall book in there. There's a small mesh pocket on the other side that is perfect for smaller things like chapstick and keychains. The back has a comfy padding. When I wear it I can't feel the weight of it because of how the back and straps are made! Only minor complaint is the water bottle pockets. One of them has a flap so all I put in it is a small bottle of hand sanitizer. The other side is small too but could probably fit a little water bottle. I recommend just leaving enough space for a water bottle inside the bag and getting a cup you know is leakproof.Overall I love this bag! Honestly, it has a lot of room for a mini backpack, but it isn't too bulky or big. I100% recommend!

Love the look and color of this backpack. I was specifically looking for a small backpack to pack light for my “short Disney days” where I wouldn’t need to pack my own food.It’s very light. Fits all my essentials and some xtra. I was able to fit a water bottle, 2 sandwich ziplock bags of snacks, wallet, women hygiene products, a few lipgloss hand sanitizers etc, a change of toddler leggings, shirt and 1 diaper. Enough for 6 hrs at the park. I usually dine at the park on short days. The side pocket fits a standard 12 oz plastic bottle. Anything bigger, you will need to put in some muscle but some does fit. So far I haven’t seen any damages. If the bag is full the side pockets with the turn-over flap is hard to get into. I rarely use it. I’ve used it about 5 times and there are some little visible stains. I can’t say how well it cleans since I haven’t tried. Overall great looking and well made product.

I love buying from North Face, and don’t mind paying a premium knowing the build quality is great and their products will last. Travelability is just what I bought it for - this is going to be my personal item on my upcoming flight and is the exact size I need. The functionality is great - it has a good amount of pockets, and loops to hang things off of which I really appreciate.

excellent backpack! I bought for skiing and it fit everything i needed to take with me on the slopes and after. Lightweight, comfortable and cute

Best hiking backpack I ever gotten.The more I started hiking the less I took things and wanted smaller and smaller bags/ backpacks. this was exactly what I was looking for when I was searching for a small hiking backpack. I have two minor cons but it’s more ni picks more than anything.1. Wish it had a chest strap (but solved it by buying those chest straps you can put on for bags without chest straps)2. The water bottle holder should’ve been a mesh type because it’s hard to find water bottles that fit (you can only fit normal 12oz water bottles)

The bag itself is well made, main pockets work well and hold quite a bit. I wanted a bag to hold a mirror less camera, it isn’t not quite deep/wide enough to fit a Fuji XT5 easily.Cons:For reference I’m 5’4”. The strap length isn’t very long even when extended full.If you have broad shoulders or upper body the straps will have tension near the neck.Because the bag itself isn’t very wide, the straps will dig into the ribs and under armpit area. For some the straps buckle may even dig into the armpit.The strap padding are a little on the stiff side
