    I am a backpack snob, or better, a backpack aficionado. I use my backpack daily so am very particular on what I buy. I was due for a new one and had yet to ever try a Swiss Gear product. They are quite popular among my colleagues so I thought why not. Here's why not. First, it is a very heavy backpack. Even empty it weighed more than my current bag when it's filled. It was almost embarrassing considering there was never much in it. Secondly, it has a weird interior that divides the laptop portion from the other main pocket. Somehow it warped and stayed in a constant curved position. This was annoying both because it looked dumb on my back and I couldn't set it down without it falling over. I was constantly having to lay it flat which was less convenient. Finally, the two side pockets both developed holes. Not along the zipper which would be somewhat understandable. No, the holes were in the bottom of the pockets making both pockets useless. I contacted customer care and was told that was normal wear and not covered under warranty. Mind you, the backpack was but two months old. It is now in a landfill somewhere and I am very happy with my Jansport replacement.

    SwissGear products are always reliable and this backpack is no exception. I bought prior to a long trip overseas. I currently have a SwissGear roller (laptop) bag and did not want to drag two roller bags (suitcase and laptop bag) all around Japan. This backpack was light and allowed me to fit all my work stuff and personal items inside with no fuss or fighting to close sections. This backpack also has many sections, which allows for better division of personal/professional gear, etc.
