Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this bag to replace a Targus brand backpack. All of the zipper handles on my Targus had broken off within a year. So I paid special attention to this when shopping for its replacement. I decided on the Swiss Gear because it has all metal zipper handles. Everything else on the Swiss Gear seems to be of a higher quality, both materials and construction. I think that the price is a little high, but I will be ok with it if the bag lasts.

Thr backpack is sturdy and durable, comes with so many compartments, you could literally lose where you put something, but I'm ocd with organizing so I love it. It has a great value for the price and can store everything you need for a business weekend trip or weekend away. Save on checked baggage for sure.

Excellent backpack high quality for laptop fits just right and I have a 16 inch laptop!

I searched high and low for the perfect bag for school. I cart a lot back and forth and need something sturdy but easy to carry. This has all the pockets and space I need. Love it!

It's a really good backpack honestly. It's about to sit up without falling over onto it's front side, has plenty of zipper compartments and the straps feel very sturdy. Able to hold everything I need and more without feeling too crowded.

Good protection for my laptop, lots of pockets for everything else. Very well made.

This backpack is what I should have bought before the other 3 bags I thought would do the job. I load up this bag with my laptop and so many other heavy things and it’s well padded so it doesn’t give that heavy feeling. Great compartments. Not too deep, just right. Not a single. Complaint other than I should have bought this one first...

This is my third Swiss gear pack. The other two are still in use I just needed another one that was newer for office use. The other two are actually now my bug out bags for my wife and daughter. They hold all the gear and girly items they need in an evacuation emergency as well as fit a 9mm handgun and a Ruger 10/22 takedown. I will keep buying these and adding them to the family emergency kit.

I bought this for my husband's (Wish list) Christmas present. He loves it! Loves the various compartments, how much the bag can hold, even fits overnight clothes when traveling. Were out to dinner recently and noted a gentleman with the same backpack. Said it's his best purchase and has had it for over 10 years. It was in excellent condition.

I had another Swiss Gear backpack before this one and I really liked that. After 7 years of usage, the zipper lining started to tear. I started searching for a new backpack on par with that, but it was hard to find any until I found this one online. It looked almost as good as the old one but I was not sure about the comfort and other functionality issues. I've had this for a couple of month now and it's been so great. PROS: - Very comfortable. This backpack is so well designed in terms of weight distribution that it protects you from getting backaches, even when it's full and heavy. This is one big difference between a crappy backpack and a good one - It looks fabulous and it's well designed in terms of having different compartments for your stuff. i.e. a specific place for your laptop, a place for your documents, some smaller parts for your cellphone or headphone and etc. - Seems very durable, even compared to my old Swiss Army one which was a beast. The paddles on the old one were designed in a way that there was a lot of stress and tension on the back zipper which held the laptop and that is exactly where it failed. This one does not suffer from that design flaw and if you treat it reasonably well, probably the zippers won't fall apart easily. CONS: - Nothing that I can think of now.

Wouldn’t by any other use it about four times a week It has many compartments and will last you for years this is my second one I’ll be gifting one to my daughter for college

Great for work and your back wont break ! So many compartments i dont even use

I have always wanted to buy one for a long time. It's the best everyday carry bag. Lots of well-organized pockets. It couldn't be better than this.

This backpack has lots of storage space and is easy to manuever, very comfortable when maxed out.

Durable....I bought this same backpack a few years ago for my grandson going off to college; it is still in good shape. I needed something durable for travel. I looked at the purple one, but it did not have enough compartments. Although, it was the same price. I opted for the black, gray and red with more compartments. Probably made for a man, I wanted to get the most for my money. Overall, a great quality backpack for the money.

My new backpack is perfect. Nice and spacious. No issues at all

I am replacing my 5 year old briefcase with this terrific backpack. Itis perfect because fully loaded it is significantly more comfortable to carry than my old briefcase. It also has twice as many special pockets to perfectly manage all of the things I carry on business trips. It is so much more flexible than the briefcase it is replacing. I wish I would have converted to this year's ago.

It has many pockets, is durable, protective of electronics, and comfortable to put on the back.

My youngest son needed a backpack for school, and we've gotten this brand for years, as my oldest son had several, down through his high school and college years. They are quite durable and have lots of space.

Ive had my eye on this backpack for a while for travel with a personal laptop. Coworker has had one for years but I've always had a bag with rollers. With family trips we need a carry on with no wheels. It attaches to our large suitcase. It makes finding accessories easy - everything has a place. Very durable high quality and protects electronics from damage. Perfect size.
