Highlights
Quality
The fabric has a durable water-resistant finish.
The air-mesh padding and the firmness of the backside make it comfortable to wear, and the shoulder straps are broad and adjust... Read More
The fabric feels quality, but definitely not waterproof or even water-resistant, though it makes no claims towards that.
This one is flexible and not rigide.
Price
My son has a backpack that sells for half the price of this one that is actually nicer in almost every way.
For the price i am honestly disappointed.
The price does not justify the making.
To me they do seem a little lighter weight than i might have expected at this price.
Packaging/appearance
I am 6'3 and was able to pack 3 whole outfits and my computer and charger with little issue.
Competitiveness
This is our second one (mom inherited the other) and where the other cheeper brands would have died already these are still great.
So of course i'm going to compare any swissgear product i get to that one.
In fact, we got rid of his last swiss gear for no other reason than it was so old, it didn't have a compartment for a laptop.
With the same price you can get more and better functional options.
