High Sierra XBT - TSA Laptop Backpack Black One Size

I LOVE THIS BACKPACK! A coworker let me borrow hers for a business trip and after that, I knew I had to get my own. The main selling point for me was the "FlyBy" laptop compartment that is TSA-approved, but the rest of this bag is pretty spectacular too. I cannot believe how much stuff fits in here. It is: well-made; sturdy; comfortable; convenient; and big enough to stash a couple of outfits and my purse in addition to the laptop, tablet, Kindle, folders, snacks, etc. It fits nicely under most airline seats as well as in the overhead bin. I love all the pockets, both zippered and non-zippered. The mesh, elastic pockets on the side are great for a bottle of water within reaching distance. The zippered pockets under the elastic pockets are a great place to stash my wallet for easy access to my money/license. The clip on the front (back?) is terrific for attaching my neck pillow. The small zippered pocket on top is perfect for those smaller items you want to access easily (lip balm, gum, etc.). The top handle is reinforced with cable so it can take the wear and tear of a heavy load. There is a place to fit it over the extended handle of a rolling suitcase as well. The straps are nicely padded to add comfort. I cannot say enough great things about this backpack. It may not be the prettiest piece of luggage I own, but it is quickly becoming my favorite. My boyfriend is a bit jealous and asked to borrow it for his upcoming business trip. I would recommend this to everyone! Read more

Quality backpack. I carry about 70lbs on my back everyday with this bag. Have had it for 2yrs, is holding up great. Read more

Used this as carry on during two month road trip. I packed an ASUS 15.4 ROG, which are a little heavy. I also packed releated cables , a camera, power inverter. I thought for sure I would find a tear somewhere but havent yet. Strong top handle made of steel cable which wont fail but where it attaches to the material might be a weak point. I did hear a slight ripping sound once when i picked it up by the backpack straps but couldnt find the damage. Zippers are strong. Plenty of room to store things. Easy to get computer out when going though Airport checkpoints.I have two of the matching pieces of luggage and one had tears in the fabric from rough baggage handling and the other shows no signs of damage yet. Overall very usefull. Might wear better with a lighter computer or not putting as much in it but there is so much room you will feel like you should fill it up. Read more

I LOVE this bag with all of the compartments and it fits two laptops and all of the other daily items i need. I chose High Sierra because I purchased a different travel back pack about 15 years ago and it has survived flawlessly after heavy use. Unfortunately, this bag began showing signs of wear and tear within a couple years. Several seems have busted, zippers broken and fraying straps. I hope that I just got a poorly constructed item, as i have purchased its duplicate as a replacement. Hopefully this new bag will live up to my initial experience with High Sierra and not this latest disappointment. Read more

This is my 2nd one of these. The first one last about 15 years. Total travel bag. Nearly indestructible. Full of zippered compartments. I like everything about it. The original bag suffered a zipper failure. I thought about having a new ine installed because it was in that good a shape. But I decided to get a fresh one. I searched through tons of options on line and couldnt find one with the same set of features. I really like how it slides onto the extended handle of my suitcase. Also the steel cable reenforced top handle. Also has very durable fabric. Read more

Bought this backpack 10 years ago when I started to travel frequently for business. Put it through all kinda abuse and it's still my daily backpack today. It's light weight, comfortable, extremely durable, and has more capacity and compartments than you'd expect. It's the last backpack you'll buy (sorry Amazon) Read more

A little pricy for a backpack, but it works well for both travel and school. My son's first one lasted through 5 years of college before the seams started to give way, so we picked up another identical one to replace it. Read more

Overall this bag has been great! I recently purchased it in order to replace a backpack I was traveling with, that just wasn't big enough to hold everything. The bag arrived just in time before I traveled to the West Coast. I was able to pack my laptop, cords, and usb port cables conveniently. The organozed pocket wprked well. The other 3 divided parts of the bag were great to handle documents, and carry on items (Nike Hoodie, blanket, Meds for the week, and so on...) Probably the only draw back is that it is so big and roomy it can cause you to overpack your carry on. It was simple to get through TSA with the bag. I did not leave my laptop in the laptop area. I pulled it out. I didn't want to be held up by TSA lines. So, I'm not sure if the feature of leaving the laptop inside and seperating the bag to divide actually works to get through TSA. The only other complaint is that its not very comfortable on the back, while carry. No matter how light or heavy it is. It just causes you to lean forward and walk funny, which if not careful can cause back pain. I'm pretty ruff on backpacks. So, I was worried about the straps holding up. So, far I've not had any issue. I used it for 6 days in California while exploring and traveling around the state. Read more
