SwissGear Unisex-Adult 5358 USB ScanSmart Laptop Backpack, Black Dot, Large

I’ve never seen a pack pack with this many features. It has amazing organization and spaces for everything I need. I love the sunglasses pouch, insulated drink compartment (it really works!), laptop holder, portable battery holder with wire, etc. Looks great too and amazing bag for travel/ tech enthusiasts. Bag holds SO MUCH STUFF, but is not bulky due to side strap pockets. Quality is so good I can imagine it lasting 5+ years.

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.

Excellent backpack. Very thoughtful design. Many useful pockets. The shoe pocket also works for quick access to smaller travel bags that hold my laptop accessories or camera accessories. It’s nice to know that I always have access to a usb power bank via USB port on the backpack strap no matter where I go. Great thinking!

Everything you need

As a college student who was looking to upgrade from a jansport backpack, this is honestly a great backpack to get. It is pricy, but it was needed for lugging around some textbooks, and other essential school supplies. It’s practical since it’s comfortable, carries a lot of stuff, and it also looks very good. One of the things I was worried about was on how big the whole thing would look on me. I am not a fan of thick, bulky backpacks, and although this is not the thinnest backpack either, it certainly is not an eyesore sticking out. Very good plus. For those of you who are skinny and short as I am, this will work well for you, and should look neat and professional. Package arrived well and included the lock. Very easy to set up as well for other uses! Another awesome feature was the cold water bottle compartment that keeps your drinks at temperature, and of course the USB charging port on the strap is an added bonus that is convenient for the student or traveler on the go. I hooked mine up to an Anker portable charger and it works just great! The only downside for me was the sunglasses compartment. This pocket is for sunglasses but it’s a hard shell area pocket that sticks down to one of the compartments that I use to store my notebooks and textbooks. It only makes taking things out and putting things in a little awkward since there’s that bulge of a pocket in my way. Other than that though, totally worth a buy if you want a good backpack that is durable. I’ve only had it for a bit but it seems sturdy and only the test of time will show how well it really is.

I bought this for my husband who frequently travels to take care of his elderly mother. He loves it and will be using it for the first time later this week. He is already organizing dedicated places for his phone, computer, pens, books, calendar, and anything else he is taking along.

I love this bag. I love the color, I love the zippers and the room I have in each compartment. The only negative I have with it, is that I wish it had more cushion in the back part of the book bag. Sometimes when I carry my computer I can feel it digging in my back. It just needs more cushion. Straps are comfortable. I give this bag an 8 out of 10

I travel a good amount and have had other bags that start to fail or are not as well organized. This travel bag is fantastic, it’s well organized and extremely well constructed.

UPDATE 01/27/2020: The zipper on the shoe compartment came off completely a couple days after Christmas 2019 while traveling, rendering that portion of the backpack useless. While I was using that portion of the backpack not for its original intended use as designed by SwissGear, it should have held up for much longer than 5 months. The bag is sitting unused and empty in my home office while I use a LowePro backpack. --- Recently my 6 year old NorthFace 40L Overhaul backpack that I used for travelling, EDC, et cetera started to fall apart. When I saw this backpack on Amazon I wondered if the zippered shoe compartment would be able to fit a camera case (https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Holster-Camera-Case-Cameras/dp/B008MWBY6W/). And it fits it perfectly! I did add some extra padding inside of the shoe compartment before putting the camera case inside. While this isnt a dedicated camera backpack it suits my needs perfectly. So far Ive travelled several times around Alaska, to Seattle, and to the Midwest with this backpack and it comfortably holds my MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, Canon 6D Mkii w/ 24-105mm L lens attached, as well as a 70-200mm L lens in a padded bag along with extra room for light toiletries and random small items. My only complaint after using it for a few months is that the shoulder straps dont seem to sit comfortably around my shoulders.

The backpack is super nice and has a lot of functions.
