SwissGear1186 Bungee Backpack, Black, 17-Inch

Gift for my husband's daily go to work bag. He says it is perfect for his needs. Sturdy, pockets are the right size. Easy to wipe off to keep clean.

Big fan of this back pack. Light, we'll made, has plenty of room.

The media could not be loaded. This backpack is exactly what I've been looking for.Last year at school, I was using another backpack that was absolutely humongous! I could not only fit my everyday school load in there, but I could also throw my younger brother in there too (jokes, people). The bag was very impractical. Always bumping into others, couldn't fit within the aisle on the school bus, couldn't fit beneath my school desk, you get the point. I wasn't planning on bringing The Bean (Chicago) to school anytime.That bag was not for me.Then came this beauty.I needed a bag that was smaller, more compact, but was still capable of holding my decent-sized school load. This sturdy, durable, and stylish bag does just this.I've attached a video, along with pictures, to this review. In the (bad quality) video I tried to put some things other students may need on them. I personally don't have any textbooks currently (summer break 😎) and typically don't carry them on me, but it seems like a fair sized textbook could fit in the bag IN ADDITION to what I already put in there.I like it. 👍🏻

On the small size compared to Jansport, but I do like it. I don't like the Red Cross like symbol on it, but it works great. It has nice compartments to it, and hasn't ripped or torn down yet. Great little bag. It's pretty sturdy and cheaper than Jansport now. Jansport has really gone up on it's prices.

I am 5'0" tall and most backpacks are too large, and rub against my neck. This backpack is perfect! It has comfortable straps, amazing zippers, spacious compartments, and the right balance of pockets. Not too many you can't find anything, but enough to hold all your stuff. I think I'll buy another one!

A long as you don’t make it too heavy the book bag serves the purpose my husband seems to really like it because of the amount of compartments, and storage options.

Good quality, good value

Got this backpack for my high school-aged son in December 2024. Now it's end of February 2025 (less than 3 months of use) and the left shoulder strap is starting to tear where it's stitched into the backpack. The tearing in on his "off" shoulder side (he mostly slings it only over his right shoulder), so I'm attributing it to poor craftmanship in its construction. I would not recommend this backpack at all.I don't generally write reviews, but in this case I feel pretty taken, especially given the brand name and other positive "customer reviews". Stay away.
