Borealis Water Repellent Sling Backpack

Bought another one of these ... because it's perfect for my uses. See my other review below; this review adds on top of that. It's got a compartment that has soft cotton to protect a nice leather wallet which is easily accessed by rotating the bag to your chest. The main capacity was great for any small shopping (like a jar of preserves) that a tote bag or similar isn't necessary. My one complaint is that the website description is clearly incorrect and I must revise my last review: there is no standard water bottle size that can fit a 2" diameter sleeve. I checked both MEC and Canadian Tire and no water bottle fit. That said, I didn't buy this bag for water bottle holding but the first negative review would have a valid point ... except I put my small umbrella in the "water bottle holder" and it fit perfectly. There's been clearly a miscommunication between the product design department and the marketing department at North Face. I tried to tell the online chat help this but their scripts held strong that it was a water bottle holder. It clearly isn't. It make far more sense that this is an umbrella holder ... which makes its compact utility even better. For this size of bag from coast to coast of Canada, I would rather an umbrella holder than a water bottle holder anyways. If I want to carry a water bottle, my Manna bottle fits fine in the main compartment. Totally not the end of the world. There may or may not have been sarcasm in the last sentence.

I got the pink one its very cute and dainty. Fits well and its comfortable. Obviously its a tiny bag more like a fanny pack.. so don't expect to put tablets and stuff in there.. just get a backpack at that point. but its perfect for a few small things on a hike. good quality and it shipped to me in 2 days.
