Customer Reviews The North Face Electra Backpack

This backpack was great but unfortunately just a little to small for what I wanted it for. One thing I always look for is the outside side water bottle pocket and this did not have one. If you are looking for a smaller stylish backpack then the Electra is definitely for you. I did go with the Aurora and absolutely love that. It's streamlined but large enough for my daily needs with my son. Zappos had amazing cs as always!

I absolutely recommend this Electra backpack. I purchased this for hiking and it's the perfect size to fit all of my gear! I am also going to use this for flights, biking, camping, field trips, and commuting to work. If you are looking for a backpack to carry your textbooks for school, this is NOT the one for you, as it is much smaller than a normal sized backpack (I've included a comparison picture for you to see). I also had a major spinal fusion done on almost my entire spine and was looking for a bag that wouldn't "pull" on my spine during long hikes, and the way that this one is designed with its shoulder straps, it's like I'm carrying nothing at all on my back. The only thing I'm a little sad about is that the North Face logo isn't sewn on like on some of their other products (it appears to be more like a tough sticker), but other than that small detail, I can't recommend this backpack enough!

Excellent backpack for daily city commute. 13 inch Macbook air fits in the large compartment but not in the sleeve.

I ordered a new backpack to use as a 'carry my kids stuff' about bag, I wanted a nice looking black comfy bag that could fit everything in without being too cumbersome Now it does fit all the necessities in, water bottles, wipes etc and it definitely is comfy but honestly it doesn't look as good as the pics, I ordered the black and coral design and the side zip is not coral coloured, it's black and the colour inside is more of a peach, having said that it looks well made and sturdy. I am not sold on it yet but i will keep it as it looks like it will do the job i need it to do, just a shame about the design.

Took my first one all over Hawaii, wanted to buy another in case its discontinued. Bought the back pack as well before its no longer available. Not found of the newest design, love this one.

Great size. Not too big and not too small. Stylish and functional. Little pockets for keys and chapstick etc. I may not have to buy another bag. This one is perfect.

I love this backpack so much! I use it as my purse and can never go back. It's lightweight, stylish and durable. I wear it everyday. The size is perfect and doesn't feel too bulky or too small for longer trips. I travel with this backpack as well. It's very versatile. It's also extremely durable. Unfortunately when I traveled to Portugal I stayed in a four star hotel that had beg bugs. I ended up laundering this backpack in high heat multiple times to disinfect it and the backpack is still in amazing shape. I was ready to order a new one but nope, the backpack has kept its shape and durability. I was shocked!! You can't go wrong with this. I get compliments on it all the time.

This is a perfectly sized backpack for traveling and/or walking around the city for a day. There's enough room for loose items like keys and sunglasses, as well as a compartment for your iPad/tablet. Lightweight and functional, it's a great substitute for a crossbody bag, which tends to strain my shoulders when I carry too many items.

I originally bought this as a carry on. But it was a bit small for my liking. However it folds small and can be put in a suitcase if needed. Went on a road trip and brought it with me. Was great for walking around downtown. Held a water bottle, snacks and some small items I bought around town.

I got sick of carrying a larger purse after I started a new job. This keeps my back aligned, frees up my arms and hands for lunchboxes and notebooks, and it's the perfect size for what I need to carry along. They snuck some useful pockets all over the place. I didn't want to fit my laptop in there so be aware that it's too small for anything but a tablet-sized device.

I had the Surge backpack for years and loved it. Wanted a smaller pack to carry around daily and love my newest choice! Very durable and I still have enough room for anything I could need.

I needed a backpack that is light and comfortable for my daily walks as I often stop to pick up some fresh things for lunch/dinner and don't want to carry a bag. It's perfect for that. It is more roomy than it looks (can get a bottle of wine in it too)!

Love this backpack! Perfect for everyday use... space is enough for the things i bring daily.

I recently bought this pack online! I wanted something small enough, that does not cause me a backache, and something big enough, that I could carry my 13'' Mac in. My 13'' Mac, alongside a notebook, wallet, water bottle, Mac charger, keys, eyeglass case, and a small umbrella all fit perfectly inside this pack, making my commute to work so comfortable! I would definitely recommend this pack to anyone who is interested in buying a small practical pack!

I have spine and neck issues and had to switch to a backpack instead of purse. I bought this after seeing someone have one at the gym. I hoped it would fit all my necessities and still be light. It is PERFECT! I literally would buy it over and over again. It's so comfortable and has enough space plus more. I had three comments the first day I used it and then at least 5 more. I saw my sister at the gym and she said she almost bought this same one! I told her do it.... just not in this color. Lol

I have been looking for the perfect size backpack for cycling in Europe. Its just the right day backpack for traveling with only the essentials...All travel items left on barge daily, so just need money and passport ,phone and space for purchases in our travels to cities.

I was looking for a small daypack to use as a purse when I take my kids out. This bag is so great for day trips and fits a days worth of basic snacks, wallet, and other items I might need plus it is really comfortable. The quality of construction is great and the bag looks good. I am very happy with this purchase.

Great backpack

Love this back pack! Great quality and cute!

Going to use as a small lightweight backpack when I go bicycling

Not to small. Turn out to be just the right fit. It's all me .

Great backpack! Perfect size for what I wanted it for. Quality design, great extra pockets, nice color.

I bought this bag for an upcoming trip. I wanted a mid size backpack that could fit all the essentials but not be too bulky. This should be perfect for what I need!

I really like the bag however I bought it with the intentions of using it for work and it's so small I can't fit my laptop in it.
