Good quality
Strong zippers, lots of compartments, and excellent design. Iām a OSP fiber optic technician that needed a bag for my laptop. Iām able to put my OTDR, jumpers, flashlight, label maker, light identifier, and batteries for all equipment in this bag. And it still has plenty of room. When full of gear, it weighs roughly 35-40lbs with no signs of the bag coming close to fail...

Construction Quality is Poor
I had a nearly identical model to this one for years and loved it. It started falling apart on me, so my natural reaction was to get an exact replacement. This is what replaced the old version, so I got this one... I was very disappointed once I opened this and got to experience it. The outer layer feels very plasticy and cheap. The straps hurt my traps when there are a...

Doesn't last and poor support for warranty
Bought this bag for my son for school use in September 2023. It didn't last a year before it started falling apart. I reached out to SWISSGEAR a month and a half ago about their warranty since it was still under warranty and have not received any kind of reply past the automated email saying they received my claim. This is just a school backpack, nothing past normal use...

Poor customer service and return policy!
I bought this as a gift for my son, but it is very heavy and too bulky. I went to return this, but keep getting return requests received emails, but no follow up emails. I have sent 3 requests now, with no response. They keep sending articles stating that the return shipping is on the customer and to review my purchase. Unfortunately it has been a very poor experien...

Nice size. Looks great. Quality design and const
It took me a little research to find a quality backpack that fit my 17" laptop. This backpack has a pocket my laptop fits in. It also has several more pockets that help me organize my stuff

Stay away from this one.
I purchased this bag on July 20, 2023, and within a couple of months, it started falling apart. I carry quite a bit, including my computer, and the fabric began unraveling on the straps first. Over time, the rest of the material weakened and started fraying. I specifically chose this bag because of its lifetime warranty, but when I filed a claim for a replacement, I was...

Used to Be Great!
I have been using SwissGear for over 20 years now. I purchased my personal backpack about 11 years ago and it is still in great shape. Recently I purchased several backpacks, and they deteriorated within several months of use. The warranty covered it but to have 2 backpacks fail was weird. The warranty process was slow and not as streamlined as before. It seemed as...

Just In Case Backpack
I purchased my Swissgear 1900 ScanSmart Laptop Backpack with the intention of it being my grab and go emergency and disaster bag. It offered a fireproof covering with lots of pockets and compartments for organizing and easy access. Although I hope to never need the bag for an emergency or disaster I am confident that it will hold all that I need and leave me hands-free.

Unhappy Customer-Wrong product was sent!
I ordered a backpack and was sent a laptop briefcase in error. It is impossible to get in hold of customer service. I have sent numerous emails to your customer service address numerous times with no reply. I even tried calling with no success (not able to get a person to answer).
Can someone please contact me or just send me the correct product?

Their numbers donāt work so donāt bother calling. And neither do their emails. Even tried contacting their parent company. Same thing no response. I tried returning on their website and two months later...

Perfect for College Students
I bought this backpack for my college freshman grandson, and he was thrilled with it. He unzipped the entire backpack, looking at all the places he would be able to store his materials while heading to class. It was well worth the money.

Great travel backpack
I have had this backpack for about a month. I have used it several times while I travel. It is bigger and has more room than I thought. I am very pleased with this backpack and recommend it.

I bought this for college and itās served me well, able to carry all I need both for school and for traveling home on breaks. Had a problem with one of the seams ripping and got a replacement easily through a helpful and friendly customer service.

Great durability
I have had this backpack for 15 years and been to 48 countries. The only issue is last year the zipper got caught in a thread.

Amazing backpack for a laptop
I bought this backpack about a month ago. It holds my 16 inch laptop and it's accessories really. It has a ton of storage and pockets that have been cleverly executed. This is not surprising since this is my 3rd Swissgear bag for devices. It looks sharp too. Definitely pick one of these up.

Better quality than expected
Travel extensively using backpack worldwide. Previously had a north face. Swiss gear material, zippers and pockets are far superior.

Great customer support
The backpack had a rip on the shoulder strap. SG provides a replacement after a review. It took some time but they handled it well. This is for a middle schooler who carries a lot of material to school everyday.
