Designed specifically for females who like to carry a laptop in the city and a sack lunch in the hinterlands, The North Face Amira Backpack for women features a gender specific ergonomic shoulder harness for an ultra comfy fit. A large secondary compartment with organization holds the big stuff, while a stretch-woven mesh bucket pocket on front, water bottle pockets, and accessory pocket on shoulder strap keeps essentials.
Perfect Pack
Purchased as a gift for my wife. She has always liked my North Face Heckler pack. The Amira pack is just as nice but has the styling and contouring better suited for her.
Comfy ladies' pack
This is a great backpack for my very day work as I am a traveling teacher consultant and appreciate the slim shape and cushioned compartments for my various water bottles, laptop, and knickknacks.
Although I would highly recommend this to a friend, there are two things I find frustrating:
1. The laptop compartment sits up off the bottom, which shields it from damage, but throws off the balance of the bag while it is standing on the floor, so it frequently tips over.
2. There are many extra straps that I don't need and had to clip them together to keep them from swinging around or getting dirty on the ground.
That said I'm very happy with my purchase as it is a significant upgrade from the Slingshot that I had for the last 6 years.
Just what I needed
This backpack is perfectly designed and constructed. Clearly a lot of thought went into the design. There are exterior and interior pockets in the exact sizes and locations that you need to hold all your essentials. I sometimes bike commute, work full time and am a part time grad student. I don't carry a purse as I can put everything I need in the backpack. It will hold my laptop on the days I need to take it, as well as a notebook and a couple of text books, along with all the small daily essentials. I love this backpack so much it has inspired me to bike commute more often than I was previously. I got caught in the rain a couple of times and the contents of the pack stayed perfectly dry. I highly recommend this pack.

Great Backpack!!
My daughter who's a Senior in High School, has been looking all over for a new backpack. We've researched & compared prices (and of course, the color was SO important to her). She ended up finding this one & absolutely loves it!! Shipping was fast...very happy with purchase!!!
Awesome backpack!
I purchased this backpack for my daughter's first year at college. We were concerned that her laptop wouldn't fit as it is 17 inch...however, it fits in the special laptop pocket with room to spare! Enough room also for books and other supplies. Padded shoulder straps make hauling everything more comfortable. Daughter loves the color also. Great price for brand and quality of backpack.
Great bag for laptop
Bought this for my daughter for college. It's perfect for her laptop, some books and personal things. Used it on a trip recently and worked out great. The adjustable straps are a big plus.
great bag!
nice and roomy, but still stays well organized. large enough for my laptop, a textbook, gym clothes, lunch, a sweater, and maybe a change of shoes. very comfortable as well.
Great Pack!
The only thing it's missing is an inside zipper area. Other than that it's very comfortable, stylish, and roomy! I love it. Altrec shipped so fast and was the best price I found.
I Like IT :)
I really like this backpack because for a girl, it's not too big. I find that it's really convenient for school since I can carry everything that I need in it, including a laptop. Also, the different compartments inside makes it easy to organize what you're carrying.
Good buy!
The size of the bag is perfect for me. After putting in my laptop, I still have space for my notes and other personal items. The secondary compartment with organization is very handy. It allows me to retrieve my keys, mobile phone, mp4 and wallet easily.
Comfortable Bag
I like the item, however, I wish it were a little bigger so I can put my laptop, a binder, a notebook, and a book in there. The shoulder support is pretty good. Overall, I like the way the backpack looks and feels.
wonderful
I recommend this backpack 100%. It's sleek and sheek in design It holds school books very easily and does not put stress on my back while carrying those heavy books. This is a great backpack for kids, teens, and adults. It's very durable.
great :]
I used this backpack to carry my school books in last year and I was very impressed. Not only did it hold up fantastically, but it also felt weightless while carrying those heavy books. Great backpack
nice
used for my trip to Australia - carries a lot and doesn't feel heavy (i'm slender). one strap kind of hurt my shoulder blade but maybe i didn't adjust right. i got the brown w/ orange and it's very attractive. got lots of compliments. perfect for outdoors. great quality. i recommend.
perfect for everything
I love this backpack, i use it for school, travel, and hiking. it fits a woman's body well and holds whatever i need it to! A++
love it!!! love this backpack. its great for everthing.
took it on vacation recently...had just the right amount of pockets. its not too bulky, not too small...just right.
Designed for a woman
I ordered Big Shot, Hot Shot, and Recon, along with Amira to see which one'd fit me the best. Although Amira has the smallest cubic feet, its length is perfect for my back (am 5'3") and the straps don't cut into my shoulder bones (all 3 others do because they are wider).
My Dell 150 fits into the slot with about 1 1/2 inches sticking out. Don't matter. It is a well constructed multi-purpose backpack that I can take to travel, commute, and day hike.
easy to carry heavy things
I got a moonstone color. It's fine. With my 14'' laptop and several textbooks in it, it is still not too heavy. The design is fine. the only thing I don't like is that the backpack is not very good for everyday. it's more like a bag for travel.
Great backpack
It is roomy and very good design back pack. It has plenty of space for storing the stuff. Great backpack.
i'm completely satisfied...
i love it!!! its comfortable, has lots of compartments, and super cute!
Excellent Pack for school
I bought this pack for my daughter (age 8)who is riding her bike to school this year. I wanted a pack that had a belt and chest strap for security and comfort while riding her bike. This pack has enough room for all of her gear and is comfortable to wear.
Great Daypack!
I purchased this pack for my girlfriend, thinking it the "top-of-the-line" The North Face pack for women. Simply put, it's just that. I own the men's Recon II, and this pack is basically the women's version, albeit perhaps nicer. It has everything you'd expect from The North Face (quality, attention to detail) and some add-on's my Recon lacks (a suspended laptop compartment, for example). Altrec's Price Match Plus Guarentee was great, as was customer service. I would highly recommend both this store and this day pack.
very good overall
I bought this bag for my Daughter who commutes into the city every week-end with all her music gear and this bag was perfect for her.It is roomy enough with lots of extra pockets for water bottles Ipods etc so she is happy.It is well constructed and most of all comfortable to wear even when it is filled with books.
Very pleased with the backpack
Fits my shoulders well. Works great for both a 1-2 day backpack or a day pack for business travel. Organization section is great. Lots of extras like the whistle, key hoder that has a quick release and hip belt.
