North Face Borealis Sling - REVIEW

This is by far my fave day bag. The North Face Borealis sling is made from recycled material too.
If you have any questions please ask below...
I couldn't find the actual sling on Amazon but here's The NorthFace store in case it gets added at some point - amzn.to/3io5wie
I bought mine from Surfdome, but shop around you can find them in a few colours from £25-45 (you know how internet shopping is!)
Its only £30 at the moment on the North Face website (plus shipping) - www.thenorthfa...
"The North Face Borealis Sling is a shoulder bag made with recycled materials. The main fabric of the bag is made from recycled polyester, which is a type of synthetic fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. The padded shoulder strap is also made from recycled materials. By using recycled materials, The North Face is able to reduce the environmental impact of its products and help to conserve natural resources." - written by ChatGPT

Thanks for the video! Well explained and demonstrated :) I'll pick it up this weekend!

[@Tim2pointoh]

Great!

I bought the same one in camouflage I’ve had it 3 weeks and I love it my only problem is finding a water bottle that fits the holder

[@Tim2pointoh]

Yeah the bottle holder is a little slim. It’s perfect for small coke/fanta type bottles like you’d buy with a sandwich or at the movies. I have this Sistema one that I picked up quite cheap that luckily is slim enough.

[@tekamer6566]

I would just put the bottle inside

[@jaredharris1970]

@@tekamer6566 true but u wouldn’t want sweat from a cold bottle to get any important paperwork u might have folded up inside damaged or if the bottle isn’t sealed tight enough and a few big drops leaked out enough to damage any sensitive electronics u might have inside

[@TheGreatAmphibian]

I used to wear a sling but then I found the Savotta 202 paratrooper rucksack. Only 300g, 20 litres, and tougher than old boots - they were originally meant to carry land mines.

[@Tim2pointoh]

That’s impressive but for me the sling is the way a man can have th equivalent of a womens clutch purse or something. Sure these things can be from 4-8 litres which is more than a typical purse. BUT it’s about being able to carry a few extra bits an pieces around without them hanging off your belt or bulging your pockets.

Thanks for the great watches websites recommendation, really great range and prices. No one ever talks about them , just ordered 3 casio . Hope your keeping well

[@Tim2pointoh]

Yeah they are a bit of an underground source of watches. You won’t get a manual or a box mind you, just a padded Jiffy bag.

[@brianfromireland]

@@Tim2pointoh that doesn’t bother me at all. Prices are great , time for more casios :) thanks again

[@wolfpacak47]

wow i like that bag great vid

[@erikgomez5098]

What’s the name of the small carabiner? That’s handy for when walking through a crowded place. Thank you

[@Tim2pointoh]

Nite-Ize I have a few of these - they are useful and cheap way of preventing people dipping into your bag on the tube etc

[@antonionotarberardino4714]

Brotha thank you very much😁

[@Tim2pointoh]

No problem 👍

[@janwick2186]

Been looking for this but sadly I can’t find it here in the Philippines 😔😔 great video tho. Thanks for reviewing.

[@Tim2pointoh]

It’s very small…

[@janwick2186]

@@Tim2pointoh is it bad for an everyday carry bag?

[@Tim2pointoh]

@@janwick2186 no it’s perfectly fine but fits smaller slimmer people better as the strap is not very long.

[@janwick2186]

@@Tim2pointoh i’m 5’9”. Will it fit nicely?

[@Marcin_Gorecki]

Hi, did you try to fit the light camera tripod in this bottle pouch... ? :) wouldn't stretch more?

[@Tim2pointoh]

Yes I did try a few tripods, unfortunately the bottle pouch is not great at gripping anything in place. You could get a medium gorilla pod in there but anything smooth will slide out.

[@onegcds]

Do you have a link for the euro clip??

[@1Zoeskie]

Can you send me one to the states please. I’m in desperate need lol 😅 can’t find anywhere ..

[@Tim2pointoh]

Sure send me your address.

[@jeloulopez5626]

where i can buy here in phils.

[@soap6416]

Do you know the strap length in inches or cm? Want to get one but some review say it is too small

[@Tim2pointoh]

Its is quite small maybe around 35 inches

[@jrighteous1984]

Yep it's very small , i bought one a month ago I'm 5'8 220lbs and it was uncomfortable, i ended up giving it to my 10 year old son ..

[@thenickbenson]

Do you think i could fit a pair of cycle shoes in this sling?

[@Tim2pointoh]

I had a try and I think you’ll find it hard fitting shoes in this. I couldn’t ft 1 size 9 vans old skool in without a real squeeze

[@thenickbenson]

@@Tim2pointoh thanks!

[@adetyaniamsaksama101]

Hey, does it fit an ipad air?

[@Tim2pointoh]

Nah mate sorry - it’s handy but quite small.

[@marie.s9995]

This sling backpack is just an oversized belt bag for men bec of its teeny tiny size, it'll look awkward. 😆

[@Tim2pointoh]

Ok thanks.

[@solo1one]

It’s one of those bags that are for on the go. The type of bag where you don’t have to pack much, only essentials. This bag doesn’t look awkward on men at all.

[@YabbaDabba420]

Nice 👍

[@Tim2pointoh]

It’s a bit small
