I used it for hiking a few times,and it's a great size for what I needed. If I say one thing, the pocket on the side is too skinny for a water bottle.I wish it was wide enough for a small size water bottle.

Looks Are Deceiving. Small Bag.
I just brought this bag thinking it would fit at least a water bottle on the outside and some important things. Nope. Water bottle does not fit on the side. Must be inside with the rest of your things. Things like a book, pair of keys, headphones, and phone. Thats it, sadly. I couldn't fit a tshirt unless am smaller than XL. The padding on the strap is too long and annoying.

Love The Borealis Mini!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this 10 liter bag. It’s the perfect size for most of what you want to carry with you on a daily basis. It’s the perfect go to bag! I use mine in place of a pocketbook. I own 5 of these bags!

Sadly Had To Return
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: I loved the color (Boysenberry/Fiery red), great size (not so big that it's too heavy when loaded up but space for more than just the essentials of phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses), nicely plush phone pocket, a couple of inside zipped or mesh pockets but not so many that it gets confusing.
Cons: just one big one, the strap! that tiny pocket on the strap is not very useful, the strap is always badly positioned, when snug it's digging into my neck and the tiny pocket sits on my shoulder, when the strap is expanded the buckle sits on my shoulder and digs in.
Bummer, with a redesigned strap this would have been the perfect bag. Changes I would like to see: change design of strap pocket, extend the wide part of the strap so when it is extended the plastic part does not dig into shoulder, allow for switching to carry on other shoulder.

Great Bag!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect bag for everyday use or if you need something to hold your things while doing any outdoor activities! Two zippers make it easy to swing the bag around and pull from either side to open it. Great side zipper perfect size for a phone!

Lots To Like But One Minus
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked a lot about this bag. It was comfortable, a great size and lightweight. In most ways it was just what I wanted; however, the water bottle holder was just too small. I tried a Nalgene 16 oz bottle - which is pretty darn small - at it wouldn't fit. It might work as a holder for something else, but not a water bottle. If the holder had been just a little bit bigger it would have been the exact bag I was looking for. Very close, just a tiny bit off.

Slick Little Pack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really love this little pack. It’s the perfect size to just keep in my trunk with a few essentials and grab when going on quick hikes. It fits a water bottle and I like the external straps to keep my micro spikes or a light jacket strapped in. I only really wish it could be worn over either shoulder. If so I would’ve given it 5 stars. But overall I really like it.

Too Small For Me And My Needs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was too small for me. I liked the idea but the borealis mini is better for my purposes.
The sling strap on this is too short for me - I’m relatively big (6-6” 200#) - and if just wasn’t comfortable to put on or wear. Bag itself was a little small for what I wanted to carry and I ended up getting a 10L bag instead of this one that’s only 6L.
