Durable and Attractive Notebook Transportation
The SwissGear IBEX GA-7316-06F00 Carrying Case (Backpack) for 17" Notebook - Blue, I purchased to carry my ENVY17 is excellent protection and portability in a smart-looking package. In addition to the heavily padded compartment for my notebook, there are several other pockets for computer accessories, books and papers, pens, candy bars and cup cakes. And finally there a...

Disappointing - not the same quality as prior Ibex - much better values elsewhere
I have previously purchased the Swiss Gear Ibex backpack twice in the past 10 years. I have been able to get on average 5 years of use, and willing to pay a premium for quality which was apparent in the product. This time around the Ibex product quality has substantially dropped. Everything about it looks and feels almost like a cheap knockoff. A lot of the quality as...

My Wenger has traveled 1.5 million miles & going
I own a prior version of the Maxxum bag that is not available anymore, this Ibex is nearly identical. That Maxxum bag is over 20 years old and is undoubtedly one of the top five items I have purchased in my entire life. I am a Delta Million Miler and have probably traveled half a million miles on other airlines. That bag has traveled every mile with me all over the worl...

Rugged, Reliable, and Built for the Field
I've been using the Wenger Ibex 17-Inch Laptop ScanSmart Backpack for the past two months, and as a field engineer constantly on the move, I can confidently say it has lived up to all my expectations.

Reliable as can be, and worth the money.
Replacing my current bag which is an OGH version of this same bag. The original bag lasted like years or so. Probably had close to a million miles of riding in work trucks and literally thousands of job sites, plus hundreds of plane flights. Why would I not buy another when the old on finally wore out adn started actually breaking down from age?

Fell apart in 5 months
I just bought this backpack less than 5 months ago and it is falling apart at the seams literally. The liner has ripped in several places. This is the 5th Wenger backpack that I have purchased, and this is already in worse shape than ones I used for years. Very disappointed with the quality or lack of.

All Purpose Perfect Bag
I bought this backpack 15 years ago, and stuffing my daughter's puffy jacket inside finally popped the zipper. I'm here to buy a replacement and figured 15 years of use was worth a review. There's not much else I can say, over 15 years I've used this backpack daily through college and afterwards as an overnight travel bag for laptops and essentials. It's travelled to...

The last bag you'll buy
I bought this bag more than a decade ago probably. I've taken it on flights across the country and on hiking/camping trips in the desert and used it as my daily bag through college. It is a great, durable bag. Do I wish it came in different colors? Yes, but that is the only downside to this bag.

Big & Strong
It's a bit bigger than I expected or wanted. But it holds a lot of things when I travel. And it's strong...I have packed about 30-lbs of stuff and I don't feel the backpack is too stressed. Zippers zip easily. Great quality.

great backpack
This is my go-to backpack for travel, with lots of space for materials, two expandable water bottle pockets, and a small, padded pocket at the top for quick access. In fact, I just purchased a second one because it works so well for me for travel.

Great warranty
This was a replacement I got through the warranty process as the straps on my son's first backpack had come un stitched. So far, these straps have been good.

Sturdy backpack for travel
This is a replacement backpack for me for a similar early model. I have used it daily for the last 3 years on about 75 flights a year as well as an everyday carry and it took this long to finally wear out which is pretty good. Looking forward to this one lasting as long.

Exactly like the original
This backpack is exactly like the one I purchased 5-6 years ago. I bought a similar backpack but was disappointed. I returned it and found this one! I like the pockets in the front compartment and the zippered storage. It is very versatile and provides lots of options.

Fantastic Backpack Even After 12 Years
This is by far the best backpack I’ve owned: to be fair, mainly because I haven’t needed to buy another one since purchasing 12 years ago for college. Through multiple almost daily trips with heavy college books, laptops, chargers, etc. It began fraying at one straps and main zipper pocket. I was CONSISTENTLY impressed with how well this bag met all my needs between col...

Indestructible
I bought this bag in 6th grade back in 2007, and I have YET to tear it up. It has been all over the world, all through classrooms, airports, overnight stays. I have let others borrow it for trips, I have lost it and found it again. It has carried everything in every environment and has yet to fail on any part. The foam and elastic has stretched pretty well, but still ca...

Returned for laptop compartment discrepency
Product is spacious and designed well, the only reason for returning the bag was a discrepency between the pictures of the laptop compartment vs the pockets in the actual item received. Photos on the website show a laptop sleeve and a small pouch for a tablet or smaller device secured by the bag's velco security strap. On other sites, you can find photos of the laptop...
