    The most comfortable backpack I’ve ever had. I work in a school and carry it with me all day. I’ve never had a bag that feels like it’s hugging me the way this one does. Something about it just feels better and different than others.

    I bought this bag and within a few weeks some of the seams were ripping. I filed a warranty claim and although it took them a while to respond between steps, I got a 2nd bag. So far it’s holding up great.

    So disappointing

    1 out of 5 stars
    8Ladybugs - 9 months ago
    originally posted on swissgear.com
    I really wanted to love this backpack but turns out I hate it. The color is gorgeous, but that’s it. I’m surprised it made it off the design table. There are several flaws: 1) the zipper pockets are sort of squared and the zipper won’t round the corner so you have to set the backpack down and use one hand to hold the corner and zip each side up separately. 2) the front pockets don’t go to the bottom and when full, expand inside the bigger pocket, reducing the main storage space but leaving the unused bottom to awkwardly fold under. 3) while a 15” laptop technically fits into the barely padded pocket, the zipper part is lower on the bag so the laptop gets stuck on it when putting it in and you have to set the bag down and pull the bag over the laptop corners. The case keeps snagging on the bag. Not even a notebook easily slides in. It’s just so inconvenient to use. The basic features of opening and closing pockets and putting stuff in and out is cumbersome. So bummed. Also it arrived with one of the water bottle net pockets torn. Hoping I can return it as it’s def not worth the money.

    Bought this for my work laptop, fits a little snug, but I have a bigger laptop. Plenty of extra room for those extras. I can use it for work, or my weekend Beach trips, love the bright color. Perfect size for work or play!

    For HS student

    My son uses this for high school. It seems to hold all his books and there are quite a few. He says it's comfortable and loves the style/features. It's working out well for him and he likes it a lot. So far so good. His old ones usually start to rip at the sewing points where the shoulder strap meets the bag at the top. Zipper starts to get mis-align to zip properly. The old buckles usually breaks too. His last one barely last a semester. Hope this Swiss lasts him longer than his previous ones.

    My kid loves what he loves! He has had this backpack for the past 6 years but it started to show signs of breakdown. It was time to get another one but he couldn't find any that he likes as much. I discovered that his exact same backpack was still being made so I just got the same one. He is so happy! Recommend

    I've been using this backpack near daily for over 5 years to carry my 15" laptop, notebooks and books, two water bottles, and chargers. The multitude of internal pockets has been great for organization-- I use the internal pen pockets to hold fountain pens. The main pocket has enough room for a change of clothes, yet it is not so big that I can't bike with it comfortably. There is very little wear, except for a small tear in the side netting which hasn't given me any problems.

    I placed a restock notification on the canvas bag with tan leather because I can’t find anything more perfect for my boyfriend. It is such good quality, has so many useful compartments and he loves it. It has the strap for travel across the back which is perfect for a roller carryon.

    Not Flexible Backpack

    The back is very stiff and is not perfectly large-rectangled bodied as in the picture. It flattens out very much unless it is stuffed with something to give it a rectangle look. The material is very stiff and does not budge. The handles are very sturdy.
