Customer Reviews

Not as pictured and described
Overall it's a very sturdy and nice bag. A great bargain for the price (29.99). Be warned that the bag is not the one pictured. See shared picture that somone uploaded for actual bag. Also, the description said that it would fit a 17" laptop. The tag on the bag says 15". So I can't fit may laptop in the sleeve but outside the sleeve in the same compartment. A little disappointing.

Huge sturdy pack, with plenty space (listed image wrong, see mine)
NOTE: Amazon's listed image is wrong. The ones I uploaded are correct.

When I saw this I had to have it. But @ target it was 60$ and since this was shown as red I got the one @ target. :( if only I'de known just the image was wrong.

Anyway, this pack is *huge*. And quite material heavy. But that just shows its sturdy. It has several pouches and pockets. The back pouch can accommodate a notebook pc or laptop. The main compartment has a media bag and pouch for cd player or other media devices (like mini DVD player or netbook). Many pouches have mini pouches inside (see my shared pics). I'm glad I got this though surprised at how big it is. But it was either this or the Ful Refugee, which was good but I didn't like the material. Overall I like my pack. I'm just really angry that Amazon had the right model (SA9259) but *wrong* image and discription which forced to pay twice as much in a store! Boo Amazon!

Swissgear SA9259 Backpack (Red)
I was wanting to buy a backpack for my son for school books and the like and wanted to buy a Swissgear pack like one I bought back in January 2009. That pack was very similar to this one but while I was making my decision Amazon suspended selling it because of some discrepancy in the pictures of the product. The price had been $30, the marketplace price during the suspension was $160 ! After a month or so Amazon resumed selling it and I purchased it at about $40.

Now the review. The fit and finish on all the Swissgear packs I have seen is excellent. The zippers are heavy duty and construction of the pack is well done. One of the features I liked of the first pack I ordered was the adjusters on the shoulder straps. They release easily and have plastic loops to pull them up tight. This is intended to be a computer backpack so the inside compartment has a padded sleeve with a strap. My first pack, which was virtually identical to this one would barely take my 15.4 HP laptop. This pack will swallow my HP easily, and will fit my son's Dell Studio 16, (A bulky computer) as well. I would recommend using a sleeve with the 16's as the corners are exposed against the inside of the zippers.

I rated this product 4 stars because of the price fluctuations. Originally $30 a couple of months ago, it is now $130. Not even the mall luggage stores try to get that for Swissgear backpacks.
