THE NORTH FACE10L Mini Borealis Everyday Backpack, Black Currant Purple/TNF Black, One Size

This is great for day trips, or for taking to the kids sporting events so you can leave the purse at home! Fits a small water bottle, a book and a few snacks. You can squeeze in a light sweater if you need to. If you need to hand it off to a little kid, it's just the right size. I do not like a cross body bag, and this fits my needs perfectly on my back. The color is nice and dark so it won't show dirt.

I had been using the Jansport mini since it came out but upgraded to this mini and I love it more. The padding on the straps is nice as I tend to overload my bag if I'm going out of town. I love that it has a front and a mini pocket on the inside, makes it easier to put important things in certain places. I also love the fact that I can carry my tablet in the padded pouch without any trouble whatsoever or my hubby's notebook for when inspiration hits as a campaign idea for a TTRPG. Also, having a side pouch for smaller objects and a water bottle pouch on the other side? Great idea, I love it.10/10 would recommend and buy again.

Great for a quick jaunt. Super quality. Awesome padding and storage capacity! Built to last. Great value for the money. Light weight.

The good: Quality made, durable, comfortable, and comes in a wide variety of colors. I chose purple. I love it. I've had to wash it (don't ask, but it involved eggs...it was dumb but what a disaster) and it went through the washer without losing any color. . . which is a bit of a duh because it's nylon and the color is built into the plasticized fibers. The water resistance didn't take a hit either, though, and I was relieved about that. I wouldn't put it through the washer often though. Hand cleaning, had it been an option, would have been a much better idea. Should have hosed it off outside, now that I think about it.I digress.Straps are comfortable to wear, elastic stays elasticky. Interior pockets and exterior elastic web will easily hold my e-reader and a composition sized notebook as well as a light sport jacket for those inevitably *super cold* AC environments one finds in Texas in the summer. There's a nice mesh pocket for keys and a wallet and a key strap to keep track of those hidey little things. I can even fit a re-usable Kleen Kanteen 27 oz water bottle inside with all this business. Which brings me to the bad...The Bad:No, this does NOT hold a reusable water bottle no matter what the rhetoric says in the marketing blah blah. MAYBE a 10-oz disposable bottle. MAYBE. But only on one side. The other alleged bottle pocket on the exterior holds . . . a small travel pack of tissues, which is exactly what I use it for. So limited pockets - a flat pocket in the back to hold a reader or a tablet, a bigger interior pocket for whatever else, which also has the mesh pocket for wallet and keys and whatever other small items you don't want to get lost in the interior, and a large-ish exterior pocket that also has the elastic bands to hold stuff like a jacket or a hat. The end of the usable pockets. Exterior pockets are basically kind of useless for me except for the Kleenex travel pack and the lip balm I carry there.The Ugly:There is no ugly. This bag is cute as hell.

I needed a little backpack for work. I had other backpacks at home, but they were standard sizes and too big and bulky. I work in a warehouse environment, and walk quite a distance from my car to the building. It's not convenient to carry my purse and a workbag. I wanted something to be able to put some of my personal belongs, 40oz thermos and my lunch in. This is the perfect size, and I love the color! It was shipped quickly!

It’s a great mini backpack and roomy.

The media could not be loaded. I like the size and is good quality backpack and worth the money. I like the color of the backpack. I use for traveling on the bus or going shopping so my hands are free .

If you want a backpack that doesn't feel like you have a backpack on, this is it.
