Customer Ratings & Reviews

The SwissGear IBEX is big with lots of pockets. It appears to be well constructed and I expect that it will last a long time. It has a sleeve that should provide adequate laptop protection. I like having the bottle holders on each side of the bag as well.

This is the most durable bag I have found to carry a TON of college books and a laptop. I purchased the same bag 2 years ago and since my son is hard on this bag and carries it with him daily - a new one was in order for Xmas. I purchased the exact same bag.

Purchased this for my fiance as an upgrade from his previous Swissgear that he had for almost 5 years. This is a great laptop bag with lots of space and compartments. Expensive? Yes. But if he is able to rely on it for the next 5 years it will be worth it.

Lightweight and rugged. An earlier version got my wife through five years of grad school, commuting across two states and on the subway. Lots of pockets, rugged, used daily in car, office and in coffee shops.

This backpackk is a TARDIS, seriously, so many pockets and somehow bigger on the inside.

I have been a fan of Swissgear Backpacks for a long time, my last one lasted me five hard years and I can tell already this one will do the same. I travel a lot, and this bag carries everything I need and more. I would highly recommend it for anyone.

I take this everywhere when I travel. It holds my laptop, spare keyboard, any peripheral equipment - plus all my personal items I want to take with me. Very rugged and easy to clean. Highly recommend!

Love this. I like the pockets and simplicity of this. Its very light but durable.

I've had 2 of these backpacks over the duration of about 11 years. 1st one was 2009/2010. Had it up until recently. Over that decade, it took way more than it's share of abuse. At one point it was holding right at 40lbs of camera and laptop gear (and who knows what else at the time). First thing to go was the carry handle started breaking (it has cable reinforcement) after about 6 years. In the last year or two it has started to tear and unravel in places. Just bought my 2nd one. Minor changes, but confident it will hold up for another decade. Long story short: Lots of storage areas, great protection for laptop / tablet, and very durable.

It feels heavy and strong but it also is. Before the whole Corona, I would use it for college. I am a Bestbuy employee though I've been promoted to customer due to furlough. So I handle these products- and I have a first hand at seeing which ones are majority favor and best quality of product. Personally- this is the best for college students like me who are tech savy with a hint of over prepared for the world. I have everything in here- my Mac Book, Books, Multiple battery packs, band aids, pens, charger, wacom drawing pad. The list goes on- unlike my walmart taco bag, this can handle extreme weight and wear. Its comfortable and personally I love the look as well. Best wishes to all.

I was looking for a backpack to keep my laptop safe and to transport my other miscellaneous junk to and from school. The one offers plenty of pockets and lots of space inside. I was also perfect to use as a carry-on rather than a suitcase for a recent flight.

I have loaded a surface pro, Toshiba laptop and iPad in the backpack plus all of the charging cords, interface cables and mouse. There is still plenty of room for other things too. Nice high quality and sturdy construction. I will get many years of use.

Great laptop backpack. It replaced a Columbia backpack which is no longer in production. Plenty of storage and after nearly a year of use, it doesn't show any wear.

This is the third Wenger computer backpack I've owned in 25 years. Nothing went wrong with the other two (each served me for at least 10 years - that's multiple laptops each), they just got a little faded, and a newer version had a few more innovations. This one's handle has a reinforced steel cable, my last one was just sewn cloth (but never popped a stitch). It will be handy as I typically put a bicycle lock through the handle and a secure anchor when I have to abandon it for a few minutes (with travel locks on the pockets). I've taken my old ones on planes, trains, and automobiles to the former Soviet Union and the Far East. On campus, it's my portable office. I wish I could give this six stars.

This bag is perfect size for the laptop and commute. I am about to put all my things I need for work....laptop.....cords....folders.....notepads....plus stll have room for gym items. Very comfortable and great weight distribution

Backpack is expensive but I think it’s worth the money the padding on the back makes it easier to carry when it’s heavy

I was looking for a backpack to carry my laptop and other necessary items, cause I dont like shoulder bag type laptop cases. I carry this backpack almost everywhere I go. It's got so many compartments. And its very sturdy.

Extremely tough backpack to protect laptop and carry accessories. Lots of pockets and organizers to keep everything from getting lost in the bottom of the backpack. Comforable to wear for long periods of time with a 15" macbook pro and all the accompanying gear.

Plenty of storage plenty, of options for storage, Strong, comfortable, and very adjustable as I am

This may be the perfect backpack. The design is attractive. The zippers are so smooth to open and close. It feels like it will do a good job at keeping my computer safe and there is ample storage for a weekend trip.
