The North Face Borealis Sling Review and Full Walkthrough kzread.info/dash/bejne/faqhqKd-msrRptY.html

Why not show how it wears? Apart from aesthetics it would give people an idea on how accessible it is when worn.

I’ve had mine for about a year now. I don’t use it daily (WFH) but bring it out a couple of times a week, especially on the weekends. When I take the family to the mall or amusement park, I can fit all our essentials in here, including 4 water bottles and snacks. Mine is “good as new” - I do have the black color so it probably is great at hiding any blemishes but the materials is really top notch. The one thing which still bothers me is the right shoulder carry, but you get used to it eventually.

Ordered two after this review, the TNF black and the Green. Not sure which one I like better but keep putting out quality videos like this man! I got it before the price hike of an additional $20.

Great!!!!

I've been keeping an eye on this bag for a while now. In fact, this is how I came across your terrific channel. Excellent review on this bag and many others. Wanted to get myself a sling bag yesterday, checked The North Face website, and there was a deal for the bag for £33. I had to pick it up for that price! I'm so glad I did as they are now out of stock.

It went up to $79 three days after this vid was released. Damn, that's a shame. This is definitely one of the better looking slings. Awesome reviews as always!

It’s still $59 on REI. Only black and green though.

I've been using this bag as my "go bag" for work for about a week. It's awesome. I love the look (ordered the same color combo as shown in the review), and the size, available space, and ease of access is exactly what I was looking for. I do wish there was a left v right shoulder option, but it's not a deal breaker. Bottom line: this bag is righteous.

i have one of these, i had to get the strap lengthened (strap cut out and sewed in a new one) for it to feel more comfortable when wearing it.. it holds my ipad12.9 plus other bits, very happy with it for travel on planes and just getting around with stuff..

Was it hard to get the strap lengthened? Just take it to a tailor?

what a dope bag, i just got the voyager duffel 32L. This would be a nice companion.

Just bought this after watching your video. Was looking for a better sling than the Cotopaxi I had been using and your review did it for me. Really excited to get it. Cheers

Just picked this up for 20% off at moosejaw. This bag is perfect. I’m wishing it was a bit bigger, but that’s me wanting to be able to carry a second laptop on top of the computer and tablet and other gear I have stuffed in there already. So I can’t really complain. Front strap pocket fits my iPhone max, wallet and headphones (it’s packed in there but it fits). Perfect blend of sleek form factor while maximizing utility. The only thing missing here is that aquagaurd on the zippers that you mentioned

Northface should bring the TotePack back with these many compartments + waterproof

I really wish they had a second "molle" webbing strip on the front, but may be I can get someone to sew one on for me. That way, you could add real molle accessories like a water bottle holder.

@ThePerfectBag Trying to decide between the base Camp voyager Sling and the Metromonger… I am unsure because metromonger can hold a capacity of 9 Liters versus the Base Camp voyager Slings 11 Liters. Is it a noticeable difference? I have a Kid and usually carry a Backpack with Snacks, water Bottles for 2, some Kleenex, altoids Tin, Osmo Pocket Camera, charging cables, Power Bank etc. But dont Need a diaper Bag anymore, but a little leftover Space would not be wrong for everyday things. Does the Metromonger have a more efficient use of the inside Space?

You can! I meant that it’s built for a particular shoulder and you can’t wear it on the other - but you can swing it to your front for sure

Does this sling have long enough shoulder strap for a 90kg / 180cm male? Judging from your video, the shoulder strap is way to shortl - when you put the sling on the back, the strap jumps right under your armpit and I'd say it's very unconfortable! And majority of the pictures you can google about it show mainly females use this sling... Not to mention, when I bought The North face Borealis 6L Sling it was so damn small - to small even for my wife and it ended up as a sling for my 8 years old song! So now I'm in doubt about this Base Camp Voyager as well... P.S. It's not a claim, just a question.... Cause I've faced the same issue with too short shoulder strap with Thule Tact 8L sling as well... At the same time, Patagonia Atom 8L Sling has NO problem and could fit even the really big guy

That looks nothing like a sling bag. More like a full-size backpack. Not even a water bottle carrier and why would you need a laptop on a sling bag? Absolute trash.
