Love this backpack!
Looked and looked online for "the" perfect SwissGear laptop backpack--and so glad I selected this one. It was at the price point I wanted to pay; and has truly measured up to absolutely every requirement I had for a backpack. NEARLY ALL of the zippers are two-way (i.e., have "two" zipperheads enabling you to unzip from either direction); there's only "1" pocket that has only "one"--and of course, that is the pocket I indeed wished had "two." But I would still select the same backpack again in a heartbeat--and have been so very pleased with my decision. There are soooo many backpacks on the market from which to choose--I probably spent a couple hours evaluating MULTIPLE ones b/c it was a decision I'd have to live with for awhile--and am simply glad and very pleased to have landed this one--and have absolutely no regrets.

Perfect for a picky teen - simple design, no wild patterns or possibly embarrassing details. Good quality, holds a lot. The price on the Target app was $10 cheaper than what it rang up in the store. The cashier was super positive and patient with us and we paid the lower app price.

Durable and Organized Backpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop backpack is a powerhouse for anyone who needs to carry a lot of gear without sacrificing comfort. The build quality is exceptional-made from heavy-duty, water-repellent fabric that feels like it can handle years of daily commuting or travel. The 18.5-inch height provides a surprisingly spacious interior, and the padded laptop compartment offers peace of mind" that your tech is secure and well-protected.

Plenty of room perfect travel backpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband was on the lookout for a great backpack that he could use while traveling for work and this one is perfect. We prefer the neutral black color and we like that. It has side pockets for drinks as well as a front pocket for any headphones or little accessories, there is two large zipper panels in the bag one in the front and one in the back so definitely room to pack overnight clothes , laptop, and other devices. The straps on the back are wide and comfortable and perfect for carrying something slightly heavy overall this is a well-made backpack that we will get plenty of use out of.

Good Quality SwissGear Backpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This SwissGear backpack is a nice quality made backpack. This is my second SwissGear backpack. It has padded shoulder straps. There are numerous pockets in this backpack including a padded laptop sleeve, water bottle pocket and mesh pocket for cords. I love how many pockets are in this backpack! This comes with the strap that can be placed over a suitcase handle for easier traveling. You can’t go wrong with SwissGear products!

Lightweight and durable backpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is a perfect option for a work bag. My current one is a little bulky and large and so I needed one more medium sized and lightweight and this one met those needs. I like how it has a bottle carrier on both sides and even fits my large water bottle. The laptop sleeve fits my 15in work laptop and keyboard. There is a stretchy band guard so your laptop doesn’t slip out. The inside pocket fits my 13in slim laptop and cords with room to spare for other miscellaneous items. The small compartment hold my mouse, badge and other small items needing to be located quickly. The front compartment stores writing utensils, phone cords and other small items. The hidden zipper pocket in front is also convenient for storing key cards or items needing quick but discreet access. It is well padded for added comfort and support when wearing. Also had a convenient luggage strap.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn’t have more good things to say about this backpack. It’s made of really awesome material and I love the black sleek look for my laptop and all my esstentials. It’s easy to carry and my favorite is that it’s so easy to stay organized because it has a lot of different pocket options. It’s a great quality and size for the price

Awesome and So many pockets!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Swiss Gear backpack is a game changer. There are so many pockets and spaces to put my things. There is a laptop sleeve with enough space to add important paperwork. There is an additional pocket in the main part of the back for more papers. Inside the main pouch there is also a zipper bag. Then you have a rather large, small pocket at the top outer part of the bag for all kinds of things. Then an organized pouch on the lower half of the outer pockets where you can put pens pencils note pads etc. Thisnis a great bag and good quality.

Very functional laptop, great for anything
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop is super functional and well thought out. There are 2 water bottle holders and smaller pockets in front to easily compartmentalize and allow easy reach of items but keep them secure as well. There are clips for keys. There are laptop compartments for 15 in laptops and tablets as well which is padded. The straps are comfortable and the zippers are not metal but they seem durable. Highly recommended and well worth the price.

Really nice comfortable backpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is great. As far as comfort goes, there is lots of comfortable padding on the back and shoulder straps. There's a separate laptop sleeve in the big main pocket which is convenient for keeping your laptop separate from all your other belongings. There are lots of pockets and the backpack is very spacious on the inside.

Excellent laptop bag with plenty of space
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this backpack. Swiss gear is an excellent brand so you know you’re getting a quality product. I love that it has the pocket in the front that you can use to keep all of your wallet items in. It has 4 nice, roomy, zipper sections total. I love the sleeve for my laptop in the back plus a cup holder on each side. I’m using this backpack to store my photography gear and everything fits perfectly and I trust that it’s safe and secure in this bag. It’s lightweight and comfortable to carry. I love the adjustable straps and the luggage strap on the back. This is a great backpack!

Loveee this slick backpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Listen, I finally traded in my raggedy old bag for this Swissgear backpack, and it's been a total lifesaver for my new business. Between juggling a toddler and trying to get a startup off the ground, I needed something that actually functions. The padded laptop section is sturdy enough that I don't panic every time it gets bumped, and there's plenty of room for my tech and the inevitable stray snacks. My favorite part? It actually has a dedicated loop for my carabiner. It sounds small, but none of my other bags had one, and it's so handy for clipping on my keys so they don't disappear into the "mom abyss" at the bottom of the bag. It's professional, durable, and honestly, one of the few things in my life right now that feels organized. If you're a busy parent trying to look like you have it all together, this is the one.

The Best Multifaceted Backpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is so awesome. This backpack has so many storage areas within the backpack itself. It has two full areas that you can unzip to store your laptop, iPad, chargers, phones, sunglasses. There is room for everything that you can think that you may need to pack in a carry-on or a day-to-day backpack for all your essential needs.
