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

Helped keep me organized while traveling with multiple electronic devices. Used as a carry on and LOVED it. The luggage strap made it easy and portable with my rolling luggage and the storage and organizations options with the bag are endless! I added bungee webbing to the front of the pack in order to be able to have a tad more flexibility. Items used to add netting were ordered on Amazon, too!

Should have bought this months ago! I Travel for work and was us Not a laptop bag…. No more! This bag is awesome l. Well organized well made lots of space easy access. Especially love the re enforced sunglass holder on top ! Passing through TSA is a breeze and feels good on my back walking through terminal ! BUY IT!!!

The backpack is super nice and has a lot of functions.

SwissGear should check North Faces pocket layout this bag is built like a tank and really great, but the layout sucks so I lended up getting a north face recon after relegating this to a gym bag. not enough organization in this for me to use as a daily / office bag

let me start out by saying nobody, and i mean nobody, makes better backpacks than SWISS GEAR! hands down they are the best! i have an old SWISS GEAR bag that dates back to the early 2000s (man im old) ... it was my road warrior technology backpack ... i loved it but thought i would update it given how much i used this bag (still sturdy, no rips/tears, but signs of age/wearing as expected). the 5358 black/blue back has the BEST LOOKS of any bag, bare none. but im returning this back for 3 reasons: 1. water bottle pockets. they wont hold a 32oz gatorade bottle w/o buckling them in (which poises another problem as those buckles get in the way of opening up the bag altogether. just give me DEEPER mesh pockets for waterbottles (BOTH SIDES please). and while the side insolated area is nice, its made for only small 12oz bottles. 2. shoe carrier. this is a technology carrier backpack, and not a workout bag ... having a compartment for shoes is just not somethign im interested in. if i need to carry shoes, ill bring a gym/clothes bag with. 3. key hook on the outside. i use this ALL THE TIME on my current swiss gear backpack ... i dont want to open up my bag to get my keys ... i LOVE the key hook (and my model has it on the handle. maybe im too picky, but reason #1 is enough for me to say no to this model.

This is by far the best designed and constructed backpack Ive ever had. There are pockets designed for multiple specific tasks (though theyre adaptable) such as one for sunglasses and another to keep your drinks cold!

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.

I received this backpack to replace my old messenger bag for work. It is very roomy and perfect for my laptop, tablet, and a few books. The straps have a pocket for a phone or small device to charge with the charge port being also located in the strap. The middle pocket has a USB cable that youd plug into a rechargeable power pack (not included). It feels comfortable to wear even on my big frame. I did knock a star off overall and on durability because the first time I received this, the side shoe pocket zipper was sheared off and there was considerable friction wear on the side as if the bag got shifted and scraped really hard on something. Amazon sent a replacement right away and that one was in perfect condition. Just be advised, this backpack might not be as durable as advertised. Ill use it and update this review if anything happens.

Every feature works as described. I have not had it on for long sterches yet. But it was comfortable when using it.
