Simply fantastic. I'm not really a backpack carrying guy as I generally prefer laptop carrying shoulder bags. I needed something with a bit more room for a trip and decided to give this a try after looking at it in the store. I was able to fit the following:
- Dell XPS 17
- Surface 7 Pro
- Tab S7+
- Bose Headphones
- Xbox Controller
- Bluetooth Mouse
- Huge Portable Battery
- Galaxy Buds Pro
- 1/2 Dozen Various Charging Cables & Power Bricks
- Full change of clothes
- Diabetic Test Kit
- Emergency Sugar Hard Candies/Granola Bars
- First Aid Kit
- Extra Masks
- Misc small items like Pencil/Pens, USB C to A adapters, Batteries, etc.
Although it was quite full when I was done with it, I still managed to get it underneath the seat compartment on the plane. On the way home I took out the full change of clothes and it fit way easier.

This backpack replaced my beloved carry-type bag that I had for almost ever. That bag was one of those items very difficult to let go of, despite multiple repairs and issues. However, so far, I couldn't be happier with this backpack. The transition has been easy. The only single issue which may make a difference to some is that a backpack may not seem as professional as my old bag did. Being an old developer of all things IT, especially software, I hope you join me in that we really couldn't care less about that. It is performance that matters. This backpack easily holds all of my needed technological equipment (ie multiple computers, chargers and accessories). There are these tiny zippered side pockets that make no sense. The top, shallow zippered pouch as well as the front-most pouch are perfectly designed. There are plenty of other features to discover with this backpack. I recommend it all the way. This was a spontaneous purchase for me. Which I rarely do. I suppose this purchase was spontaneous because I have two high-school teenagers with whom together we have been through numerous backpack evaluation and buying experiences. What they want, it's up to them to make a better design. In the meantime, this works for us all.

I was looking for a bag to fit my new laptop as well as carry everything I needed to get around campus. This bag has the space and the pockets are well-placed so that I can keep my things organized. It is comfortable to wear and it looks good. It is well made and seems like it will last me a long time. It was also reasonably priced

I've had this backpack for almost month now and I couldn't be happier. I'm a IT Specialist and even with month of use, the backpack shows little to no wear, even on the "leather" (plastic) bottom to keep it from getting wet. I've had to walk to and from buildings in the rain before and have had zero problems with any water getting in and ruining any of the contents.
Lots of the items on the backpack seem very durable and heavy duty. The zippers feel very rugged and have never faltered for me. The main handle on top is way stronger than it needs to be, but I'm not complaining since I would rather have it over built than under built.
I only have a 17 alienware laptop right now it fits easily with plenty of room. .
There are more than enough pockets and compartments to hold anything you need. I've carried a laptop, 2 books, 2 notebooks, camera, iPod, cards, power cable, misc cables, stapler, markers, pens/pencils, , water bottle (room for 2), snacks, and there was still a little room left in the small pouch between the laptop and the main compartment. So it had plenty of space.
Overall, I couldn't of been happier with this backpack. Large enough to handle anything I can throw at it, and sturdy enough for it to last as long as I need it to. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Replacement for another SwissGear backpack

I got this as a replacement for another swiss gear backpack that had the large pocket zipper give out. I don't even remember how old it was but I know it gave me years of service so it justified the $80 price which is steep. So I'm hoping to get a lot of years and mileage out of this one also.

This is my 2nd purchase of this backpack. The 1st one lasted 5years of heavy everyday use for work and travel. My go to bag for travel. Actually had to buy my wife one as well she liked mine so much. Quality made and endless room for all your stuff. I can do a three travel with just this backpack. Reason for buying a new one was my five year old one finally started to wear out and got a hole in the bottom. Use that one for kayaking now.

Stylish Backback full of compartments

Great backpack bought at reduced price. I spent a few time figuring out what would be better for a laptop bag, and this is the fist time I decided to go for a backpack rather than for a laptop case. Reason being to count on additional room for more stuff for my travels.
Also in some cases I had to carry a couple of laptops plus docs and tablets, which in total weighted enough to end up being uncomfortable to be carried over one shoulder. So this time I went for a much more convenient backpack. and picked this one after some research.
I am very happy with the purchase of this particular model, it has a beautiful design, very easy zippers, stands on its own, high quality materials very glad to be touched, very comfortable over the back, leaving air flow around the back for less sweating, lots of compartments. So already used it in a couple of travels and it's a cool all in one backpack enough for all my needs.
In my case I still have additional available room for more things, so really happy with the purchase.

Bought this as a replacement for my husband. This is his 3rd backpack. He wears them out. Lol. They last for quite a while. He said that this one seems to be better than the older versions. Some of the pockets are a little deeper. He carries a lot of stuff and it carries everything with room left over.

Love this backpack! It has great storage options for all of the items I travel with. As a consultant who is in and out of different facilities all the time, I never know what I am going to need. This backpack has options for my safety glasses, my Bluetooth speaker, my mouse, my passport, and any other item I may have. I prefer SwissGear products as they hold up under a lot of wear and tear in airports and planes. Definitely recommend!

This backpack is same great quality as one I bought 4 years ago. Cosmetically identical. Tough-as-nails materials and zippers. Useful and efficient pockets. Highly protective padding for your laptop. Best backpack you can buy. Only reason I sprung for a new one was that the old one had become dirty.

I purchased this bag to replace another (brand) bag that I had for almost 20 years (yes that long). Needless to say my original bag was no longer available (new - used yes but not new). I see Swiss gear bags all the time on the bus, metro, and in the airport. Thinking they must be good with so many about, I did my research and made the jump. I am glad I did. This bag is spacious and has room for my company issued laptop, my personal laptop, a padfolio, (full) cable accessory bag and my small umbrella. I still have room left for sunglasses and other items with pleanty of room left over. The material is very durable and the zippers well made; they glide easily. The straps are strong and comfortable. the two side drink holding pockets are great as are the small accessory pockets on the sides. My only grumble would be that the cell phone pocket on the straps is small for today's larger phones (will not hold a Galaxy Note).

I bought this for my Son who is a college student. There are several compartments that can store a variety of things from the laptop to books, pens & business cards. Somewhat heavy without anything in it but the shoulder pads seem to be pretty comfortable. Nice padding inside to protect the laptop itself.

This is really the only backpack that could have worked for me because I have a large laptop but this backpack can hold my laptop very easily.
Plus it is comfortable even though my laptop weighs quite a bit. But the backpack is still small enough to fit under airplane seats.

Used this to backpack through Europe. It is a strong, sturdy pack with lots of pockets and storage. VERY comfortable to wear and quite durable. It's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and this is rugged and will last a long time. Very happy with my purchase.
