    Bag is better than expected but straps are coming off. Just think that a SWISS bag should be more durable.

    The pocket layout on the new ballistic colorway is a definite improvement, but make sure to inspect the stabilizer straps for defects. The stabilizer straps are the small straps with the little arrows on them located at the top of the shoulder straps and their purpose is to keep the elastic from overstretching. If theyre too long like the ones shown in the images then they wont be effective. Thankfully they were the correct lengths on the replacement, which is why I suspect it was just a defect and not a design choice. I spotted the defect when comparing it to my old backpack, but you can test for it yourself pretty easily without needing another pack to compare it to. Start by gripping the shoulder strap at either side of the elastic with both hands then pull it tight. If the stabilizer strap fully stretches out like the first ones shown in the attached images, then the strap is the proper length. If there is still a lot of slack remaining on the stabilizer strap however then its defective and I suggest you return it for a replacement (although it might not be too hard to fix yourself if you know how to sew). Now that Ive covered the defect issue, and the reason Im only giving 4/5 stars, I want to say that Ive been very happy overall with this backpack over the past 3 years, but I was never very thrilled with the layout of the interior pockets. Im glad to report however that theyve addressed that issue with the new interior layout on the ballistic version, which is very similar to the limited edition version from 2018 that I missed out on. Theyve also recently added back the side mesh pocket over the drink compartment. Youll notice its missing this pocket on the product images, but both packs I received had it, as well the navy blue ballistic version someone else reviewed. Other notable changes is the addition of a document sleeve and a large interior zipper pocket in the main compartment. The adapter pouches were moved to the secondary compartment and placed higher so that they sit above the laptop sleeve. This all results in the backpack being slimmer when fully loaded, and it also makes accessing the main compartment easier. The USB port has also been moved to the side just above the shoe compartment due to the battery pocket being relocated. This is another change I like as well, because the only time I ever used it to charge my phone was when I was sitting down with my backpack next to me or when I had my backpack on top of my suitcase. Probably just a matter of preference as Im sure there are people who preferred it on the strap, which was a unique location, but I definitely find the new location easier to use. I dont write a lot of reviews, but I wanted to make you aware of the stabilizer strap defect so you know to check for it. I also had to spend a lot of hours researching the new version to decide if it had enough improvements to justify upgrading, so hopefully my review helps you with your decision I think the only major flaw with this backpack, is the mesh pocket is pretty short. It holds my 24oz water bottle fine, but only just barely. It also doesnt have a ton of smaller compartments, but its size, shape, and features suit my needs perfectly. It slides easily under the seat on airlines, its comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and the shoe compartment is perfect for stashing my laptops power adapter and wireless mouse. I probably wouldnt recommend this backpack to anyone looking for a dedicated school backpack due to the lack of built-in organizational features, but you know your needs better than I do so dont let that dissuade you.

    I originally purchased this bag just to hold 2 laptops and a few notebooks but it has gone WAY beyond that. Used it for: Hiking, carrying kids sports equipment, and even just full of course books and its been a champ the whole time. Note: If you put sunglasses in the holster area make sure you remember thats where you put them. Spent 2 hours looking until I realized where they were. Major fail. Awesome bag. 10/10.

    I received this backpack to replace my old messenger bag for work. It is very roomy and perfect for my laptop, tablet, and a few books. The straps have a pocket for a phone or small device to charge with the charge port being also located in the strap. The middle pocket has a USB cable that youd plug into a rechargeable power pack (not included). It feels comfortable to wear even on my big frame. I did knock a star off overall and on durability because the first time I received this, the side shoe pocket zipper was sheared off and there was considerable friction wear on the side as if the bag got shifted and scraped really hard on something. Amazon sent a replacement right away and that one was in perfect condition. Just be advised, this backpack might not be as durable as advertised. Ill use it and update this review if anything happens.

    I was expecting a free lock with it as I read from the reviews. Anyway, mine did not have a free lock with it when it arrived. So I ordered 2 locks just now, for I was very satisfied with my purchase, though it took more than a week for them to ship it. Arrived ahead of schedule.

    There are numerous pockets and compartments for your items. My son is using this for his school backpack. As they are not allowed to use lockers this year, this is essentially his locker. He needed a place to separate his different school supplies, books, and notebooks and have them easily accessible so that he is not hunting and having to pull everything out to find one particular item. This bag is working out perfectly for him.

    Fits my MacBook Pro like a glove. Very spacious pockets and right from zippers and the straps, you can feel the quality. Sturdy, strong outset shell. Very well designed and though off - space for eye glasses, secrets pockets, space to hang carabiners etc. Amazing bag, worth the spend and well liked.

    This is by far the best designed and constructed backpack Ive ever had. There are pockets designed for multiple specific tasks (though theyre adaptable) such as one for sunglasses and another to keep your drinks cold!

When you’re ready to move up to a different league of organization in a backpack, this is the one you want to strap on for size, the SwissGear 5358 USB ScanSmart Backpack. Engineered in a Ballistic fabric for maximum durability, this pack has a surprise around every corner. This bag comes with a TSA friendly lay-flat back panel with room for a tablet and a laptop, a front quick access pocket, a fleece lined crush-resistant sunglasses pocket and an organizational pocket. The center compartment is really where this bag shines as it has an internal zippered panel that when unzipped turns into a side-access shoe bag. Fully padded shoulder straps and back panel, a phone charging hub, and insulated side zip pocket round out this great pack.
