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

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.

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

I bought this backpack for a trip.it has many useful pockets and the ability to open up the laptop section. My only complaint is that you have to choose to either carry a water bottle or an umbrella on the outside. It doesn’t have outside pockets on each side

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.

I have always had difficulty finding a good hybrid backpack. All the camera bags are great but I never needed the modularity since the cameras I carry are 360 cameras. Camera backpacks feel a little useless since I don’t need to carry lenses with me but the side pocket for shoes makes it easy to store my 360 camera/gear while providing me easy & convenient access when needed. I cannot speak to the durability of this since I just started using the backpack this month. But it is a very well made Swiss gear backpack and I can tell the reinforced shoulder straps and top handle are made to last. I cannot wait for my next trip to truly put this to the test. But so far so good and I am very happy with my investment.

Please look at the corresponding pictures in this review. This is not even the same backpack. There is no place to put a spare charging battery, even though it was specifically advertised, the accessory pockets are completely different, and the charging port is on the side of the bag and not on the strap even though the phone pocket is still there. I am assuming that they are just selling the defective ones on Amazon. Regardless, as this is Swiss Gears official store, I will not be buying from them again and would recommend you do the same.

Worked perfect for me.

Im satisfied with this bag.

I got this to replace my husbands beloved backpack (that he uses for everything) after his finally fell apart. Ive been using a SwissGear backpack for years and it still looks new. Its all I use when I travel. So well appointed and sturdy. He wanted a blue one and this one is such a lovely blue shade. The trim and accents are all the same color which makes it look more professional imo. I will always buy SwissGear backpacks!

Helped keep me organized while traveling with multiple electronic devices. Used as a carry on and LOVED it. The luggage strap made it easy and portable with my rolling luggage and the storage and organizations options with the bag are endless! I added bungee webbing to the front of the pack in order to be able to have a tad more flexibility. Items used to add netting were ordered on Amazon, too!
