 It's SchoolGear for my kid January 6, 2009
A. Dent (USA)
From the makers of the Swiss Army knife, you get a solid, utilitarian backpack. You can call it a 'computer backpack', because you can carry a laptop in it. I am writing this review on a Thinkpad T60 and, it's official. The T60 fits inside the laptop sleeve with plenty of room to spare. And it's padded too. And, if you don't feel like carrying your laptop in a backpack, it's okay to use it as a regular backpack. This particular one (my second SwissGear purchase) was for one of my kids because the first one I bought was grabbed by my first born because he was the one who opened the box and it's going to be his SchoolGear. So, let's summarize.
THE GOOD:
- Solid build, pretty close to 'indestructible'.
- Lots, of pockets, and I mean LOTS. I can see why my kids loves this. The more I investigated, the more pockets I found and my kids just counted 22 of them.
- Padded computer sleeve, of course. Seems adequate for most laptops.
- The organizer pocket lets you store pens, a cell phone, money, maps... has many internal pockets where things can be organized.
- Water bottle pocket.
- Sunshades holder.
- Swiss Army knife pocket, of course.
- The shoulder straps are quite comfortable.
- Compression straps allow you to secure items inside.
- Airflow padding on the back for more comfort.
- Cool design, in black, with little Swiss silver crosses over red everywhere.
THE NOT SO GOOD:
Can't think of anything other than, to my surprise, it turns out that it's made in China.
I feel compelled to give it five stars.

Great Travel Bag! December 28, 2008

I was looking for a new laptop backpack for my next trip and stumbled upon this one (on sale for $39.99).
I love it!! When I received it I was impressed with how sturdy the backpack felt and looked.
My Dell Inspiron 1525 with a 15.4" screen fits nicely in the laptop sleeve. And I felt like it was well protected.
I also liked all the various pockets so I could keep all my odds & ends (iPod, batteries, pens, sunglasses, folder, paperback books, travel pillow, etc) organized & separated.
Plus this backpack fit underneath the seat in front of me on all my flights (Northwest Airlines) during my travels, so I was able to take this backpack as my personal item and a suitcase as my carry on (I like to have everything with me for my domestic flights as long as the trip plans make that possible). Just don't over pack the backpack or it will become too big to fit underneath the seat.
I found the backpack to be comfortable and not too heavy as I wandered around each airport.
I definitely recommend this bag for traveling!!
