Great at first (bought in 2011)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2020

Initially this backpack looked a pretty good purchase, but 5 months later its zips broke. I was very disappointed, and so was my husband - he paid me to buy it!

I hope Swissgear has since improved the quality of their zips. Because when you buy a Swiss product, you expect QUALITY.

That said, we have Victorinox Swiss Army Knives ('SAK') and they like anything manufactured by Victoninx are absolutely first class. Alas, not Swissgear.

Smart, Durable, Well Padded, Versatile Layout

I used a Laptop backpack for work. It needs to take the laptop (Apple MacBookPro Retina 15"), various cables and from time to time either tools, cables and if traveling a change of clothes.

This backpack its the bill. The main interior is a large single pocket and has a padded bottom that can be either lowered or raised. In the lowered position it pushes out the backpack making he whole thing deeper and so more capacious. Raise the bottom and draw in the drawstrings at the side and it cause the back pack to become more shallow. The materials seems of good quality and the zips look sturdy.

There are plenty of pockets inside and out.

My only gripe (as pointed out in other reviews is the large eyelet air holes on either side of the rucksack. In heavy rain they certainly would let water in.

Since I do not like getting wet and am seldom walking in the rain, my solution will be to buy a pocket umbrella to keep me and backpack dry, it will fit nicely in one of the two side pockets.

Great backpack

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2013

Verified Purchase

I've owned this backpack about a month now and must say how pleased I am with it, it is very well made and very comfortable to wear. I've recently started a new job which involves travelling to and around London on a daily basis on the train, tubes etc. carrying a 13" MacBook Air, charger, various stationery, leads, mp3 player etc. etc. I previously used a messenger style bag for the job but found it cumbersome to carry, this is a much better solution. The bag is large enough to fit all my stuff in without going anywhere near the main compartment which I can use for clothes, books etc. In fact I recently spent two nights away on work and fitted everything I needed into this one bag (I did travel pretty light on the clothes/wash kit front though)
There are lots of little pockets and compartments which makes organisation and access easy. I particularly like the thought that has gone into things like the top pocket for an MP3 player, wallet etc, with a port for your headphones, the water bottle holders, the two carry handles etc. Another useful aspect is that the bag is freestanding i.e. if you put it on a desk, floor etc. it stays upright, which is very handy.
A number of people have commented that they are worried about the large holes in the main compartment letting water in. Firstly, if the worst happens and they do leak they are not in the bit where your laptop etc. goes, so it would only be papers/books/clothes etc. that got wet (still not great I know). Secondly, I have been caught in a couple of downpours wearing it and haven't experienced any water ingress. I agree with the other reviewers though that I don't see why the holes are there in the first place and it would be better peace of mind without them.
The only negative, which is a negative for backpacks in general, rather than anything to do with this model, is I do worry about how easy it would be for a pickpocket standing behind me on the escalator at the underground to open the zippers on the compartments and relieve me of whatever is in there. I keep anything of value in the laptop section which would be the most difficult to reach and have fitted a small padlock that locks both that section and the pocket that holds my MP3 player, wallet etc (you can lock both compartments with one padlock).
So in summary, near perfect product, but when you are updating it Mr/s Swissgear please ditch the pointless holes in the main compartment and come up with some clever way of optionally securing the zippers to make it harder for pick pockets to open (I'm thinking some sort of switch, velcro cover etc. meaning it takes more than one hand/two fingers to open them).

Decent packpack at a reasonable price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2012

Verified Purchase

After having used this backpack for a couple of months I have to say that-despite my initial criticisms-the backpack has grown on me, and I find I am using it more and more. I like the fact that the backpack does not collapse when I put it on the floor. It has a certain internal rigidity which keeps it up right, and I like that. This is still not the superlative backpack in terms of design or quality, but I find that he gets the job done quite decently. Also, for its price of 35 pounds on sale, it represents a decent value. The price is neither really high, nor really low, and the quality reflects that, but I find that quality is definitely good enough for normal everyday use. It will probably last for years. In sum, I find that I am using and enjoying this Swiss Gear backpack much more than I originally imagined, based on my initial first impressions of the backpack.

Everything you need in a working bag

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2013

Verified Purchase

I travel a lot throughout the day between meetings and normally need to carry so much to deal with all the possible needs - this bag does that. It is a quality bag and is very sturdy and can stand up straight when set down. The finish, materials and zips are good quality. There is plenty of space and each compartment can be organised to carry specific needs, for example laptop, tablet and gadgets; paperwork and files; pens & markers.

Three great additional features are i)double handle for carrying while the bag is open ii) small pocket on the top which opens nicely for getting quick access to mobiles, wallet, glasses etc. iii) side pouches are large and deep enough to make use of.

Great value on Amazon and highly recommended.

Excellent bag

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2013

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent backpack. The bag looks impressive. The material and make are sturdy. The laptop compartment can fit upto 16 inch screens. Also the main compartment is big enough for documents/books etc. I am having it for more than an year and it still looks new. Very useful for everyday use. I have even used it as cabin bag in a domestic flight and could hold more than I needed.

Only downside is 6 big holes by the side of the bag in the main compartment. But I came up with a solution and fixed soft rubber pieces so that the holes are blocked, making it perfectly rainproof.
