SwissGear Cecil 5505 Laptop Backpack, Dark Grey/Black, 18-Inch

I ordered the black Camo first. I was not happy with quality of the material. It definitely had a thin cheap plastic feel (Actually makes a crackling plastic sound when you move it). On the outside you can see the cross lines, which I assume is the rip stop material they advertise. Looking more closely at the all black version, I noticed it may be made of their more original sturdy material. I ordered it just to see and was right! The all black version is the thicker sturdier material (no rip stop lines) and does not feel like plastic. To make it more clear for others to see, I included pictures showing the outside versus the inside look of the materials of both bags. You can see the inside of the Camo version is white, which tells me the camo pattern on the outside isnt even a through and through pattern. It is printed on just the outside. The problem with that is over time the outside pattern will wear off and you will see exactly what you see on the inside- white. If you look at the black version, the material on the outside is exactly what is on the inside. Solid black. This may not be a concern for some, but I have purchased Swiss bags for over a decade. It seems they have been trying out this rip stop material claiming it is lighter and stronger. It may be lighter, but it looks cheap and will eventually rip sooner than their older material. Why they didnt use it on all version? Not sure. But I am so happy to have their older more reliable material on the all black one.

This fits my laptop perfectly. Its not too big and looks pretty cool

Nice

Perfect for all my classes. It has a lot of different compartments for my pencils and pens. Super comfortable padding helps for walking long distances. Definitely satisfied with this bag!

Quality backpack offered at a great price. Purchased for school and is holding up well

Exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a bag to carry my laptop, chargers and a few notepads so larger bags had a lot of wasted space.

Quality as expected for son at college. Not super large, but perfect for laptop and a few books/supplies.

Stylish and useful, this has become my EDC backpack. Very well made.

Please note: this bag is NOT waterproof. I’m not too sure it’s water-resistant either. It’s a good bag, don’t get me wrong, but it’s pretty counterproductive to have a tech-style bag that doesn’t keep your electronics dry in the rain. It’s nice tho, pretty durable. Has a main pocket, a smaller middle pocket and an even smaller outer pocket. Fits my laptop (14’) well. Only had it for about a month now, but no immediate durability problems.

I use it everyday and love it. Forget jansport this is it the pack of your dreams
