I just received this backpack today and had to a write a review for it right away. Before I decided to buy this SwissGear Backpack, I kept going back and forth between other choices and other brands. I wanted to make sure that I got something I wanted so I wouldn't be disappointed and went through the trouble of exchanging it. First of all I was looking for something that wasn't too bulky but that was fit for a college student. This backpack has 2 Big compartments (one of which I would have tot ally missed if I hadn't looked at this little flyer that the backpack comes with) and it has 2 Small compartments. In one of the compartments you can put your laptop (it says its for 15 inch laptops or smaller) but when I put my 14 inch backpack it fits plus there's room for more so maybe even a 16 inch or a 17 inch might fit (not sure). Anyways both Big compartments have plenty of room for folders, books, or laptop. The small compartments one of them has organizer pockets for things like an ipod, cell, pens, pencils, a key holder, and the other compartment you can put anything that's small in there too. It has 2 water bottle holders in total, one on each side plus 2 side pockets. Also in the first Big compartment there's a little sleeve in which you could put your cell or ipod and it has a little hole for the headphones. Another sweet little detail is that on one of the shoulder straps there's an elastic tab that you can put your sunglasses in...very convenient.So in short: Large Packing Capacity, Padded Laptop Sleeve, Organizer Pocket, Watter Bottle Pocket, Audio Interface, Sunglass Holder, Airflow Back System, and Shoulder Strap SystemDefinitely worth the price...you won't regret it!

I have loved the size and design of this bag. Everything was perfect for my needs, but within 2 months of using it daily for work, the straps started fraying. Now 6 months in, parts of the straps have completely pulled out and it looks terrible. Still functional but the frayed bits get stuck in the zipper all the time now.

I bought this as a travel bag for our toddler. I've searched high and low for a "good" travel bag (bought and returned, spent hours on-line...seriously. Lots of searching!) I was looking for something that was roomy, had lots of organization and easy access for MY stuff, sippy cups and snacks. I definitely found it in this bag!There are four zippered compartments that range in size. The front pocket is perfect for my stuff (keys, chapstick, phone, wallet). The next one back is great f or smaller kid things- toys, snacks, etc. The next one back is good for bigger toys, books, blankets, and the back one I put in 8 disposable diapers, changing pad, large wipes (the baggie with the dispenser lid) and and change of clothes. The side zippered pockets are great for snacks and the mesh pockets were great for the sippy cup and, actually, I was able to fit my little wallet/cell phone purse combo in there for easy access as we went through security.The bag is large, but even loaded with all of that stuff I was able to comfortably carry it on my back while carrying our toddler on my front in my [.....]-structured carrier). I'm 5'1".I'm so glad my search for a travel bag is over. Love love love! :)

My son will be a high school senior this year, and he has used this bag hard for two years. IT IS AWESOME. We have not had any pulled seams or broken zippers. I HIGHLY recommend this. We bought it on sale for [$] during back to school.

We bought 4 of these! We bought them as "Grab and Go" bags for emergency preparedness. They are very comfortable, roomy and great for keeping organized. The comfort was the big thing for me. I've tried a lot of backpacks on and this one just fits well and doesn't rub my neck, which I find uncomfortable. So give it a go. Another really amazing backpack is the Brenthaven Expandable Trek Backpack.

These backpacks are wonderful for just about everything. You can use them for your laptop or as a hiking pack, good for students and professionals. I would strongly recommend this product.

I am very happy with my new backpack! It is large enough for an adult (I am 6 foot 3) and has plenty of pockets to hold all your stuff. The straps are comfortable and the laptop pocket is large enough to hold a decent-sized computer. There is also enough padding on the back so it is still comfortable even if you are carrying heavy things inside. I am also happy that there is a key hook that I can attach my keys too inside one of the pockets. The quality of the backpack seems to be above average . I think this will last a long time. I am very happy that I purchased this backpack, despite the fact that it is a little higher priced than others packs I looked at.

Like a previous reviewer the zippers failed on my backpack. I also had problems with zippers jamming and with the cheap plastic buckles breaking if they get cold. Like in the trunk of the car in the winter. The buckles seem to become brittle and just sort of fall apart. This seems like a good backpack with lots of compartments and padded straps etc but once the zipper fails and you leave a trail of your belongings down the street, the other features become irrelevant. [...] It's sad that t he "Swiss Gear" brand is associated with these very poorly constructed backpacks. I was actually foolish enough to buy a second one and the problems were NOT unique to only one of the backpacks.
