Review on SwissGear Crimson Skywalk Padded Backpack by Megan Hanson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Light and comfortable Goodbye shoulder bag

I recently injured my back and part of my rehab involved my bulky shoulder bag. I've long known that twisting and overweight are bad for your back, and the large capacity encourages me to carry far more stuff than I need to. My work requires carrying a company laptop to and from the office, and it fits comfortably in the SwissGear, leaving room for the power adapter and headset. My shoulder bag had zippers and compartments all over it, but at first I thought it was really proving to be incredibly cumbersome to look for things. The zipped compartments of the SwissGear, on the other hand, scale in size - for long-time backpackers it probably sounds obvious, but is a great help for keeping cell phone, glasses, keys, lunch, notepad etc. in place. , so I don't have to search forever for something. The workmanship of the backpack is first class: I'm a tall guy and the shoulder straps give me enough space even in a heavy down coat. The zippers slide easily, the handle is handy for those difficult moments when you can't carry a backpack. And the backpack itself looks amazing - I couldn't ask for more.

Pros
  • Made from high quality ballistic polyester with mesh side pockets for essentials
Cons
  • Some small items
