Find Your Size
European sizes are based on your child’s height in centimeters. Because kids of the same age can be different sizes, height is the best guide for fit.
Enter your child’s height in inches, and we’ll show the closest CM size range. This correlates to the first number in the size option. ie: 98 or 122. If CM sizing is not provided, simply choose the age provided.
💡 Tip: These are general guidelines. Always check specific brand size charts when possible, as sizing can vary between manufacturers.

Full Description
The North Face Hot Shot Mini Pack brings the classic Hot Shot daypack into a smaller everyday size for school, errands, park days, travel, and quick family outings. With a 12-liter capacity, tablet sleeve, water bottle pockets, and front zip storage, it gives kids, teens, and adults a practical way to carry the essentials without the bulk of a full-size backpack.
Comfortable shoulder straps and a padded air-mesh back panel help support easy daily carry, while side compression straps and daisy-chain webbing add outdoor-inspired function for active routines. It is a simple, capable mini pack for snacks, a light layer, small books, a tablet, water, and the little extras that come along for real days outside.
