Customer Reviews The North Face Electra Backpack

Great small day pack! Perfect for day trips to stick a few things in. Carried this around Disney last week and fit two water bottles and other small items in. Love the rose gold on the black one!

It is a smaller backpack, but I love that. It is perfect for commuting to and from work. It fits everything I need without being overwhelming and annoying. It has a separate flap for a tablet or a book, and also a single little pocket in the front for small objects. Very comfy on my back.

I was in the market for a smaller pack to be able to take on the slopes when I came across this. The straps are perfectly tailored for a woman, can easily hold a large water bottle plus snacks and some gear, and it's small enough that it doesn't feel uncomfortable keeping it on while sitting on the lift. I also use this backpack to carry my stuff for work which is very useful. It's absolutely a great product.

I am a nurse. Prior to this, I had a ginormous "work bag" that I just crammed full of junk. I got this bag hoping to minimize unnecessary things I was bringing along. It's easy to grab, I can fit only what I NEED inside. This is exactly what I was looking for. And it's really cute. Love it.

Comfortable, fits all my necessities. Great for traveling

Great, smaller backpack yet has plenty of room for wallets, books, etc. Cute design as well.

This bagpack is small, chic & comfortable. I was looking for something that would fit my work locker as I only use it to carry travel sized stuff such as my notebook, wallet, phone, keys, toothbrush & personal bathroom use. The quick pocket in the front is a handy use if you want to slip your keys in and out quickly. The 2 small zip pockets on the side and top are good for charging cables and pens/highlighters etc. you can store your tablet or small lap top in the inside pocket. I'd definitely recommend this bagpack for anyone looking for a smaller carry-on!

I purchased the deep lichen green after a friend bought the black/rose gold. Both are super stylish colors and the size is great, not bulky like many backpacks. It is a little tight for a 3-ring binder but for notebooks and other supplies it's perfect.

Great product! I'm glad that I waited for the green one. I knew that I liked the bag, but I wasn't a big fan of the colors available at first. After a month of doing research and waiting for the new color.

It just fits my 13" laptop and all the notebooks and folders I need for the semester. Compact and good looking.

I was looking for something smaller for work and this fit the bill really well. Also great for a day trip. Practical, great quality, no complaints really. Cute to boot.

I got this for my sister since she has a Mac air it would be perfect she likes small bags to carry her things this was great

I bought this back pack for my sister. She loves it for travel as a carry on.

It's the perfect size to fit whatever I need for a day trip to the city.

I love this backpack! I use it as my purse and I love it cause it's small and sleek. Plus it makes for the best carry on pack for my airplane travels.

I was surprised at the size of this backpack when it came. It's smaller than I had imagined it would be. If I'm just carrying my klean kanteen, a book, wallet and phone, and a tablet this backpack is just fine. I do struggle a little with my 13.5 MacBook and have to take it out of its sleeve for it to fit in here. If your laptop is bigger than that, it most definitely won't fit in this backpack. Otherwise, great for walking around in the city and commuting.

I bought this bag as a day bag for day to day use. Whether going for a walk or a hike, or just to use to bring to work, it's super practical. It definitely isn't very large, but certainly can hold a wallet, keys, water bottle and a sweater/jacket. I like the extra pockets on it as well.

I LOVE this backpack! it's soft and comfortable on my back - not too big but I could get a journal, smaller electronics, power cords, a sweater, snack bars, etc in it. You could easily get an iPad in it and maybe even a 13 in laptop. If I had one wish it would be that it had more loops or areas for mountain clips, but still, since it doesn't, that's what makes this backpack more versatile for times when you want your hands free but you need something streamlined and not too casual. It's nice for work and I also used it at a fitness conference. Highly recommend.

I purchased this backpack because I had recently gotten surgery, so I couldn't lift heavy things and needed a smaller backpack to take my things to school. It fits all the essential things I need throughout the day and the small size helps me keep it light. Even though I have fully recovered, I continue to use this pack because it made me realize I didn't need to carry so many things, it keeps my back from hurting, and it's super cute.

I was hesistant at first in purchasing this backpack because most reviews says that it was too small. I totally disagree. Well that depends on how much you would want to stuff inside your backpack. I primarily bought this for everyday use. It is roomy enough for my 11" macbook air, a small Umbrella, water bottle, pencil case, a textbook/reviewer and vanity kit. There are technically three pockets which can house your phone/s, keys, wallet, and the outer pocket can house your gloves for the winter. Downside is there are no pockets inside the bag itself but it is ok. It is comfortable to carry around, stylish and lightweight! This is one of my perfect backpack purchases i ever made.

Great little bag, excellent when walking on small trips

Cute backpack small and convenient

I purchased this backpack on the account that columbia stands by the quality of their products. I wanted a durable pack that would withstand the weather elements and continual everyday use. Great for use of walking/hiking short distances. I mainly use for everyday so I can take along with me my tablet/charging cables. The padded pocket snuggly sucures and protects and I highly recommend this backpack for this feature. Also find the the other small zipper pockets perfect for phone/keys so they are easily accessible without having to entirely unzip the main compartment. As I have been using my Northface backpack for a few weeks now, I still enjoy it just as much as the first day it arrived. Love the solid black with rose gold zippers. Not to girly just enough to add a feminine flare. Can't recommend enough times, have received many complements from both men and women. My mom also is is now a fan of the north face brand and purchased a pack for herself. Don't hesitate to order this one, as you will find yourself using this backpack hopefully for years to come. Hats off to Northface for standing behind a tried and true quality product. Don't spend money on brand names unless I feel the company is worth it.

LOVE THIS BAG. I read soooo many reviews before purchasing, read and reread the specs 100 times, thoroughly understood the size, understood the load I have to carry and then took the plunge. What I was looking for was literally the smallest bag I couldn't manage and just take to and from class. I knew with a big bag I would end up taking everything I own to class when in reality I just need one notebook at a time and my laptop sometimes. THAT BEING SAID THIS BAG IS BIGGER THAN MOST REVIEWS GIVE CREDIT. I CAN FIT MY 13" LAPTOP IN THE SLEEVE (IT IS A VERY TIGHT FIT it obviously isn't made for a laptop this size and I knew this prior to my purchase I just went out on a limb. I use it for travel because it's safer not so much if I have to take it out and put it back in quickly. BUT IT FITS) I can fit my book, supplies and extra little things like my chargers and glasses and it holds them very well. LOVE THIS BAG. Aside from class, I'm going to be using this bag on short 2 or 3 day trips I take them very often and pack very very very very very very light. This is a fantastic bag if you only need to take bare necessities to class or out for the day, very easy on the back and the material seems very sturdy. So happy with my purchase

Love north face!
