This is the best, most sturdiest bag I've ever owned. It's amazing! There's no other way I can describe it. As a computer science major at a university with a full work load this bag does everything I need and more. It holds my laptop, books, umbrella, and all of my tech gadgets that I like to keep on me everyday. I even have 2 portable batteries inside it that allow me to keep everything inside fully charge if I need a little extra juice in between class. One of the chargers is actually the Jarv Tank Military Grade IP67 portable battery.. which.. although does not last more than 2 full charges of my cell phone.. still is way more than enough to get me through the day... and the best part is this battery actually fits PERFECTLY in the top middle pocket with the red zipper which I find to be aesthetically pleasing. Overall, this is an amazing bag. I've been using it for a month straight and has allowed me to bring my work everywhere with me so that no matter where I'm at.. as long as I have this bag I can work on anything anywhere at anytime. The ONLY thing that I wish this bag had.. which I suppose is more of a personal preference is that I wish there were more pocket varieties in the very front of the bag. I wish there were designated pencil holders and little holders for my USBs but still this back still holds everything just fine.. I am just a little spoiled by the specialized storage in my old Alienware backpack. Other than that minor little detail for me.. this is an amazing bag and definitely worth it's price. This bag will last a very long time. Read more
Excellent backpack I bought this to replace the same exact one that I carried all around the world for 10 years. The only reason I bought a new one was because the bottom is starting to wear out the one I currently have. Read more
This is a great bag. It's well made, there's plenty of room, and lots of organizational pockets and things. I didn't keep it because I found a gaming bag that was bigger but still small enough to be a carry-on. It can carry all of my camera gear, (2 dslrs with large lenses, flash, batteries, chargers, etc) as well as my laptop and peripherals, as well as what would have been the contents of my purse if I was carrying the purse. So I got the larger bag, but this is still a great bag. Read more
Bought this same backpack 14 years ago and I closed one of the strap buckles in my car door last week. I tried to look at other backpacks but kept coming back to this one. So, here’s to 14 more years! Read more
This book bag is the only book bag my son has owned that has been able to hold up throughout the school years. It has lots of pockets and space for all the stuff kids have to carry these days. Read more
This backpack barely lasted a 8 months. My son used it for his small school issued chrome book, his calculator, not even any books because everything is digital in school now. It just started falling apart and got worse and worse. Embarrassing when you’re going to a private school. I filed a claim online back in June as per filled all their Swiss gear warranty. The customer service is terrible they took weeks to respond. I submitted like 10 pictures, filled out the forms, then cut the inside labels and tags and certified mail them as per instructions. They supposedly had a conditional credit for me to rebuy a replacement but Waited waited waited I emailed and emailed I have a claim number. No reaponse, no credit, no backpack. Do not buy this unless you just want to waste your money and have your kid embarrassed going to school looking like a pauper. I also purchased suitcases from them and afraid to even use them. These are disposable backpacks - one time use! ZERO Stars!! Read more
This is an overall very good backpack. SwissGear makes quality stuff. I travel alot so my pack gets thousands of miles put on it. I have had it almost a year and it is holding up nicely. It's comfortable to carry even when loaded down. It has plenty of pockets and organizers, and has plenty of padding for the laptop. That is also the downside. With so many pockets and sleeves it cuts down on the amount of space in the man storage area. Also the pockets for water bottles are a bit small to work. Besides that it is a great bag, and should hold up at least another year. Read more
I'm a road warrior who travels every week, so I put a lot of wear and tear on a backpack. Constantly cramming it under an airline seat takes it's toll. This is my second one of these. The first one outlasted two laptops and has been lugging my third one around for quite a while. The fabric began to tear at a seam. It has a lifetime warranty, but I felt that I had more than gotten my money's worth from it and ordered this one. The new one appears to be made from the same quality fabrics. Workmanship appears to be as good as the first one. They've actually made a few improvements in the zippers and internal pocket configurations. My laptop has a 17" screen and easily fits in it's dedicated pocket. I'm expecting many good years of service from this one as well. Read more
