SwissGear Gear Scansmart Backpack Business Laptop Accessories in Bags, Cases & Sleeves Review

Quality is good, looks good. I was looking for a quality backpack with plenty of space for my daughter who uses public transport and has to take a lot with her. The material is comfortable and hard-wearing, the seams are sewn well (the threads don't stick out), the zips run smoothly. We have been using it for 3 weeks now and my daughter loves it. One of the nice things about this bag is the top handle, it's not just a loop so it's good to hold on to the handle when getting on and off buses and…

My 12 year old SwissGear laptop backpack was finally getting dusty (well technically the 'crunch' I heard when I stepping on one of the necessary plastic buckles was the beginning of the end for them - the rest of the pack is fine). Basically, when I thought long and hard about what features I needed in a replacement backpack, I realized that I wanted it to be as close as possible to what I had. The 5977 fit the bill and was significantly cheaper than my original SwissGear. To be honest, I…

It's hard to find a quality backpack at a fair price as Jansport quality has dropped so much. This backpack is very durable (and feels) and offers a lot of space. The dividers in the large pocket are my only criticism of this backpack as they don't really separate small items but allow them to sink to the bottom where they mingle. Dividers don't reach the bottom of the bag and are short at first. Other than that I haven't had any issues with this backpack and look forward to using it more often

If you're looking for a backpack for everyday use or even to take with you on a plane, look no further. The appearance of this backpack is the same as the pictures. Feel the quality I was hoping for. It's big for a backpack, so it might be too big for some. I used it for the first time on a 4 day trip and it was perfect for that. I could load all my clothes and bathroom essentials and leave room. I haven't used all the bags yet. I used the laptop compartment to store folded items that I didn't…

I travel a lot for work and have a much smaller backpack that I've been working with in recent years. I eventually got fed up when I didn't have enough room to pack for a 3 day trip and bought this backpack. The first thing that struck me is how practical it is! The cooling channels are fine and I was able to get through the whole trip without any backpack sweat. There are plenty of pockets to put things and the zippers and the material of the backpack are of high quality. I would highly…

I used this bag for over a year until the weight took its toll (not the backpack's fault!). In fact, our entire touring team uses this bag (luckily it comes in different flowers!) Very large roomy bags. The TSA Separation Zipper is a lifesaver for the airport queue! I've had it on a plane, in a rental car, and around the hospital with no problem. Easy to clean and keep neat and tidy for professional use. The zippers were solid and we never had any breakage or snags. Convenient storage for our…

Excellent construction backpack. I travel around South America and Europe with mine. I love having a TSA laptop zip so I can easily open it and fold it in half without having to get my laptop out. Works everywhere except Panama so far. They still make me pull out my laptop, well. Lots of space and pockets. I can easily carry my laptop, tablet, Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones, Nintendo 3DS XL, all my chargers (about 10 different ones including my laptop charger), a couple of 1.5 liter soda…
