SwissGear Hybrid 30L Travel Backpack, Fits 15 inch Laptop, Men's and Women's, Black

My husband already had this item in red and loved it, so I was aware of all its many features in advance. It's so handy for a night or 2 away if your outing is informal and you all you need is a couple changes of undies and light clothing, but there's also room for toiletries, laptop (special padded side-zip pocket makes it easy to retrieve). It's just an all-around wonderfully designed bag. Well thought out. Even has a little RFID pocket where you can securely store your wallet and credit cards another nice feature is a small zip pocket right at the top that can accommodate sunglasses, keys, or whatever you might need quick access to. I bought a new laptop this fall and didn't want to use my large Targus backpack/bookbag that accommodates my older 17" laptop. The SwissGear bag easily accommodates and projects my new smaller HP laptop while providing plenty of compartments and room for items I'd like to store separately. I bought it in green because it was by far the cheapest choice at the time, but it's a beautiful emerald shade of green Couldn't love this bag more!

This backpack is durable and can hold quite a bit.

I really like this bag. I had an older model that lasted about 12 years, and there have been so many thoughtful improvements. The bag is not too heavy or over padded like some, offering a good balance of strength, utility and light weight. Many thoughtful improvements like the luggage handle strap, dual drink holders, expansion zipper, inside compression straps, inside zipper pocket (I use for passport and valuables) organizer pockets and glasses holder. Great for overnight trips or just keeping a spare jacket with you. Sometimes I like to travel light and sometimes I’m loaded up and this works for both.

I was able to fit a 16in MacBook Pro, a medium Wacom tablet, and an iPad Pro in the laptop sleeve. Granted they were a lil too snug, but pretty great, as I need all those things when I travel for work. I loved the other compartments, definitely easier to pack and see what you have inside. A great carryon or personal item for my flight. A few things I didn’t love: the thing that adjusts the shoulder strap rubs my arm. Not a problem in the winter, but wearing this in the summer for a significant length of time is likely to result in blisters. I also wished it had a chest strap (and even a waist strap) as my tech stuff can get pretty heavy. I also don’t love the colors. Wished there was a version that was all camel or just an elegant black or a nice dark green or sophisticated gray, but that’s a personal preference. A small pet peeve that most backpacks have is black lining: why??? It makes it so much harder to see inside. A lighter color lining will make things easier to find in there. I’ve gotten into the habit of always having a rechargeable, motion sensor light in my bags to compensate, but wish I didn’t have to. All that said, it does make travel easier for me, it does a good job for the price and I would buy it again.

This bag is very good quality and has left me pleased after a couple of trips with it. Fits 4-5 days of clothes, my 17” laptop, a blanket, and most other electronics I need. Does it all while being easy to carry with the backpack straps and side handle, and holds up well. For the cost I am very pleased. Always loved Swiss Gear and was not disappointed in my latest purchase from them.

Recently traveled to central america with my new swiss gear backpack-- one of my two "carry-on" items on a JetBlue flight. Backpack performed well-- cavernous main compartment and lots of handy little compartments including a passport pocket. I kept a full change of clothing, a jacket, a laptop and lots of personal items in the backpack-- and didn't fill it to more than 50% capacity. I used both straps as I hiked around cities, jungle, farmland and volcanoes. The backpack was extraordinarily comfortable and sturdy. I also appreciated the subdued color as I exited the airport-- I felt the bag was less of a target to thieves. Highly recommend. Note-- my only issue is that I owned a previous version of this swissgear pack-- the passport pocket had been labeled as "RFID protected." The passport pocket on this newer model is not labeled RFID protected...

I love everything about this bag other than the strap connectors. Because they are removable, there's a small piece of metal to close the clip to hook the strap. The metal piece on one strap continues to pop out of the plastic, leading me to need to constantly reattach it and almost losing it. I would also prefer if it had a cross-strap at the chest or waist for added comfort, but it was fine without. Lack of a detachable strap for carrying it without the backpack straps is also something to note when using as a suitcase replacement. Even with these minor criticisms, I still give it 5 stars. The capacity, pockets, and full zipper allowed me to travel for ten days by air and rail with this single bag and a purse.

I purchased my first one about six years ago from a department store. I have packed this bag every weekend going to the lake, it’s been to Florida three times, Mexico, once, and two cruises. I finally just broke the back zipper and decided to buy a second one. The front has a hard case cover for sunglasses or reading glasses, etc. It has multiple zippers on the outside small compartments and it has a laptop padded on the back. You can keep the backpack straps inside the zipper compartment and carry it like a regular bag or you can take them out and use it as a backpack. The inside has a mesh zipper screen to keep clothes, safe and secure from not moving around on one side and the other side has a pouch for other items and it has two straps that are adjustable to secure more clothes. If you don’t have a large amount of clothing, you can zip the outer zipper to compress the bag and if you have more, you can unzip it to expand it. This is my go to bag for everything.

Great bag. Large enough to use as a small suitcase. Get a power pack to fully use the charge cable included.

Es una mochila extraordinaria tiene una gran capacidad es fácil de manejar y es muy segura

10days use- I have purchased this with a doubt that how will it look? But after receiving the same, this is the best purchase i have ever done in backpacks.. Amazing storage 3 layers.. Good special layer for laptop or ipad

This is just ideal in so many ways. Perfectly sized for day to day use, but equally expands enough for a business trip, while the laptop compartments lets you easily separate business items and clothes / toiletries. Well made, looks smart and has plenty of compartments. Price to own this in the UK stings a little when you can buy these on the US Swissgear website for 50 bucks, but the quality does feel worth it.

Expensive but quality. Comes with a myriad of pockets and compartments, a wet laundry bag, a zippered shoe bag, and a mesh bag, all of which can attach inside. One laptop compartment inside and another zippered one for a slimline laptop or a tablet on the back, also takes a document folder. Bought it as my work bag after a colleague unintentionally emptied an entire cup of milky coffee into the previous one and there was no way to get the smell out of the lining. As some other reviewers have noted, it is quite large, probably too big for what most commuter types would need for a day-to-day bag. I now use this as my cabin bag instead of my small wheeled cabin bag suitcase as it's a kilogram lighter and I'm always overweight. Has a shoulder strap so don't have to wear as a backpack. Also because it's a high-end brand airline staff tend to wave it through.
