Review on πŸŽ’ Monochrome SwissGear ScanSmart Laptop Backpack by Mary Gilbert

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Looks great - Compartment torn after 6 months

The backpack is compact and light. The laptop compartment seems useful for traveling through security and for quick access, however it is not very practical when used as a holdall as you have to open several compartments on the top to access your work items (files , folders, etc.) etc.). The reason for the two ratings is that the bag broke after only six months (of course shortly after the return window closed, but not long enough to call the backpack strong, reliable or durable. You can see the tear in the bottle pocket with water in the attached photos. I use a very narrow water bottle (20 oz mira thin) and it shouldn't have ruptured so much or so quickly. My North Face backpack lasted 12 years before it broke even a bit showed signs of wear (several small holes started to form) I will be returning to the North Face bag The bag looks really cool - very disappointed that I already have to get a new one.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Expensive
