Borealis Sling Backpack

Days that need more organisation than a pocket but less bulk than a full backpack are where a well-designed sling earns its place. The North Face Borealis Sling Backpack provides six litres of compact storage for walking, travel and everyday plans.

A dedicated sleeve separates a tablet and larger phone from the rest of the load, while the central organiser includes a mesh pocket and key clip. A fleece-lined zipped pocket protects smaller items, and the external bottle pocket keeps a drink away from electronics and other belongings.

The padded adjustable shoulder strap supports comfortable carrying across longer days and places a secure phone pocket within easy reach. At the front, the familiar Borealis bungee system adds space for a light layer or another bulky item without filling the main compartment.

Recycled nylon or polyester fabric, depending on the finish, uses a non-PFC water-repellent treatment to resist light moisture. The sling is water resistant rather than waterproof and should be spot cleaned when needed.
