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

Got this for my husband. Hes a pilot and needs a lot of space and areas for different items. This hit the nail on the head. Even sits up when you put it down, so he never has to worry about his water bottle leaking.

The only complaint or issue is that the USB charging port is not on the section where there is actually storage for your battery pack. It should have been.

Boyfriend says well made, fits all kinds of stuff and very comfortable. If he’s happy, I’m happy. Thumbs up.

Simple design that looks durable Is SwissGear worth it? I will say YES

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.

Im afraid Ill be losing things in this bag for the next couple years while I grow accustomed to its near magical abilities. Im not complaining, this bag for me holds two laptops, a full-size set of headphones in case, multiple chargers, battery backup pack, plus a million other things. It even has an insulated pocket for cold or hot stuff. What the hell?! If the next version has a microwave built-in I wouldnt be the least bit surprised. SwissGear really outdid themselves here. If youve got one of their older bags that is finally looking too battered over a decade of use (this is me), youll be amazed at the upgrade.

Much larger than expected, crammed all my travel gear inside with room to spare, still fits under aircraft seat with no problem. 15 laptop, 10 tablet, headset hardcase, cable organizer, 20maH battery pack, chargers, fistfull of pens/pencils, 5X8 portfolio, hearing aid case, and more with room to spare. Couldnt be happier assuming it holds up over time.

This is definitely a high quality backpack that has a professional look. Just to note, I bought one of the ballistic colors that come in navy or gray. Pros: 1. Quality and sturdy. When I place the backpack (empty) on the floor against the wall, it actually holds its shape. Most backpacks fold and are floppy. I can tell the material will hold over time. 2. Professional looking. Having an all navy backpack looks great at the office or work. Had a nice subtle shine. 3. Very thick and comfortable carrying handle 4. Reinforced, felt-lined sunglasses case. Very cool feature I didnt think I needed. 5. Lots of organizational pockets inside main compartments for battery chargers, cables, random stuff, etc. 6. USB-A connection outside the pack to charge your device 7. Comfortable shoulder straps 8. Insulated drink pocket keep your drink cold Cons: 1. Ballistic colorways do not have a drink mesh. As great as I like the insulated drink pouch, sometimes I just want something with quick access or something to hold a 32 oz Gatorade. The pouch will only fit narrower bottles. 2. No loops to attach random carabiners. There is literally nowhere to attach random stuff on a carabiner. My old backpack was military style with over 30 loops. I really miss having such a function. 3. Shoe sleeve. A hit or miss. Whether or not you use it to store things, really depends. I can see myself storing an umbrella in there. But then I also wonder if I carry heavy books, if itll crush whatever is at the bottom. There is a clip inside to help hold the pouch against the side on the inside if you dont want to use it. But honestly, Id rather have no pocket and just have put a giant drink mesh there. 4. Chest strap. The chest strap is a bit thin and not as robust as most chest straps, but it is serviceable. What annoyed me was that it was super long and looked awkward if I didnt clip it and it dangled. I actually cut the excess with scissors to shorten it and used super glue on the tips so it doesnt unravel. 4. Lack of exterior pockets. As organized as the internal pockets are, I feel the backpack could have sewn on some exterior pockets or open sleeves just to quickly place random things in. With the lack of mesh to place things randomly in on the go, theres not really much quick access sleeves and pockets. 5. Lack of RFID. For a $120 backpack, there could at least have been 1 RFID blocking pocket, especially if its advertised as a traveling backpack. All in all, I am most likely keeping this backpack. For me, I really needed something a bit more professional looking for work and this navy is great. It should serve most people well, from professionals to students. For the price though, I do wish there was a bit more functionality. For reference, my last backpack was an Eddie Bauer 29L Cargo Backpack that had a lot of functionality for approximately half the price and is still serviceable after 7 years. But I felt it was time to get a new backpack and Ill hopefully be using this one for years to come.

Everything you need

About what I expected. Plenty of pockets!
