Great backpack
I think the material is waterproof. And it has much space and feels durable. The color is dark green.

So disappointing
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 ...

My son loves these backpacks.
My son loves these backpacks. They are sturdy and durable. This is the third one that I have bought him and the first two each lasted 2-4 years. I highly recommend!

Bad strap stitching
Bought this backpack for my 12 year old and didn’t even last 4 months. The first strap starting coming apart 4 months after purchase.. few months later the other strap starting coming off. I contacted Swiss gear and no response. Absolutely disappointed with this purchase.

Happy with our Swissgear products!
Great backpacks! We got 2 of these for our teens. One is a replacement on another Swissgear backpack we purchased back in 2022. The other is for our soon to be college student. Color works for either boys or girls, and will their laptops nicely. Good quality!

Great staff laptop bags
I bought these for all staff for laptop bags. Everyone loves them. There is plenty of space without having too many unnecessary pockets and zippers. Just what we needed.

In Love!
Love this backpack. It's sturdy, with tons of compartments and is exactly what I need to haul around my work stuff, gaming stuff, and craft stuff all at the same time.

Extremely disappointed!
This was supposed to be an exact replacement of a defective knapsack. My original one is much bigger, has more compartments, more padding, and RFID Pocket etc. this might be a great little knapsack for a schoolchild but not as a travel knapsack.

2nd bag was good
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.

Great Bag! Perfect for Anything!
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. Th...

I love this backpack!
I started a job that I needed to bring my laptop daily. I didn’t realize how heavy my load was and my back hurt. This backpack is so light and fits all my things including my purse. It’s perfect! Lots of pockets and sections. Highly recommend.

Good solid back pack.
I am writing a memoir snd this backpack lets me carry all I need to work on that wherever I am. It’s protected and I can bring my computer and charger. I even have room for a book to read when I need a brake.

Still going strong after 5 years
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 comfortabl...

Perfect professional backpack, great for travel
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.

Very Nice back, lots of storage
I have used this backpack for the better half of a year and have no complaints. The big zipper opens the bag up like a book for easy access to pack and unpack. There is a hidden zippers on the inside that I store a airtag in. I haven't even used it to its full potential and I love it. The camo while not the most flattering, its subtle and stylish.

Good, but with a flaw
I bought this backpack a month ago, and it's a good product overall. It is sturdy and easy to carry. However, I chose this backpack because it says that there's a sleeve which can fit a 16-inch laptop. But I put my laptop in the 16-inch Swissgear case, and the case did not fit in the sleeve. So that's a bit disappointing.
