  • Includes dual ice axe/tool loops, two daisy chains and lash tabs for strapping on extra gear
  • V-pull side compression straps with easy access buckles and sleeping pad straps stabilize and control the load

    Comments about Gregory Electra Pack - Women's:

    I've always used hand me down packs that "sort of" fit and have never had the experience of putting on a fully loaded backpack and having it not sag past my lower back, until this one. The interchangeable strap system the pack comes with are on the top of my pros list. However, my one complaint is the hip belt, the straps loosen within minutes of tightening and depending on body type the front clasp has a tendency to flip sideways (horizontal) while ascending.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Gregory Electra Pack - Women's:

    This super durable, roomy pack survived six-months of trekking in Africa. I fit high-altitude gear, a sleeping bag/pad, boots, camera, and all other clothes/essentials in this big pack, and despite all the weight I crammed in it was still comfortable. I highly recommend the Electra if you need a big, durable pack. It's a bit tricky to adjust at first but once you figure out all the adjustment points it's a cinch to fit it to your body so it rides well.

    Comments about Gregory Electra Pack - Women's:

    I loved most things about this pack. It was easy to load, although it could use a few more pockets. The two long pockets at the front are a little awkward. Sometimes a larger pouch in front is nice for storing wider, easily accessible things. However, the side zips are awesome for accessing gear stored in the main compartment without having to open up the top. The holster type water bottle holder and removeable day pack are great features as well. My main complaint is that it always bruises my hips. I can get it situated quite nicely and comfortably, but by day 2 my hips are bruised.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Gregory Electra Pack - Women's:

    I bought this pack a year ago and I've used it on 5 backpacking trips ranging from 3 to 7 days in length. I like the large capacity, extra compartments and overall fit, but my only complaint is the hip belt. I think the cushioning is too stiff because my hips have gotten terrible painful bruises on every trip. Also the belt gradually loosens as I hike, so I have to tighten it again every hour or so.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Gregory Electra Pack - Women's:

      I took this pack to Yosemite for my first backpacking trip in over 15 years. It was fantastic! The pack is light weight and easy to maneuver. I didn't have any issues with it hurting my back or hips. It was very comfortable and I would definitely recommend it. I also really liked that it has the day pack feature.
