3.0 out of 5 stars Great Backpack..but one very annoying flaw!, October 20, 2009

All the other reviews are spot on with how well the bag works and how well they enjoy it. I myself enjoy this bag to this day. I use it as my backpack during college, and i carry roughly 10-20lbs in it daily, and its quite comfy.

Compartments - Holds almost anything and everything. I have every little gadget i need inside such as my calculator, charge cables, advil(used for long days at college and the gym), lots of books and folders.

Durability - I haven't owned this bag for more than a few months, so i cannot say how well this bag will hold up. But knowing Swiss gear, it should hold up for years to come. The
bag seems very well made and durable.

Reliability - If this means how often it doesn't break down, then i haven't had an issue yet, but i only owned for a few months.

Space efficiency - Like said above, it holds everything you could possibly need in a day trip, unless you really need very large items or lots and lots of smaller items. But on average, you should be able to carry what you'll need.


Pros-
-Holds everything I need
-Swiss Gear was made to hold up for awhile
-The price is very low!
-Good looking bag
-Comfy

Cons-
-always looks large regardless of what's inside
-some of the pockets seem useless such as the large side ones, but if you can make due to using them all then ignore this con.
-The worst of all in my opinion...The zippers make a lot of noise when your walking around. I had to fold my zippers into the bag so they wouldn't jingle as much. Me being a guy, i don't enjoy jingling everywhere i walk. The noise of metal clanking on every step multiplied by all the zippers on the bag is very, irritating. Good zippers, but the noise is very annoying to me.

I don't write reviews, but i figure this would've been a nice thing to know about before purchasing. I still would've bought this bag because of price+size+name brand.

Overall i would've given this bag 5 stars, if the zippers weren't so loud(maybe a rubber casing around each one so it doesn't sound like metal clanking everywhere, or maybe only 1 zipper per opening instead of 2 each)

I'll review more as time goes by and i see more faults or things i like.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Backpack - Not for 15.4 Widescreen Laptops, January 28, 2009

I purchased this item for my HP dv5t widescreen laptop (dimmensions 14 x 10.5 x 1.5 inches). The computer backpack is very study and good quality. The laptop padded sleeve compartment will accomodate my HP 15.4 widescreen and the bag zippers closed ok, but about the top 1 inch sticks out from the compartment and since there isn't any padding around the zipper area it leaves the top 1 inch area exposed to any potential impacts. The backpack does have a velcro strap that prevents the laptop from sliding out of the pouch and is very well padded along the back and bottom, just wish the laptop sleeve would have been a bit taller to offer better protection from side impacts. Overall I would not recommend this to anyone with a laptop over 13 inches. My HP dv5t is also about the limit which would for inside this computer backpack.

The style is OK. But the color is different to that of the advertisement. at the same time, when i just used it for one week, there is a little brokenness. I feel unpleasure.
