I’m a geologist and for my work I need to travel a lot and carry many items, mostly measurement equipments; some of them are quite sensible and in the past few years I used to carry with me a large suitcase; recently I was finally able to get a new set of tools quite high tech which requires less space and now most of them fit perfectly in only one backpack.

I searched with no luck all the local stores for a bag that could meet my standards, when a co-worker suggested I should to try out SwissGear backpacks for laptops. Next day I googled it and checked many of SwissGear computer backpacks till I decided for this one; product description and its design and with insurance from my co-worker about the quality of this brand’s products were enough for me; in worst case I could always return the product.

It arrived in two days and I immediately started my examination. It’s made of high quality waterproof nylon as the description says and the colors are exactly like in the picture; it is soft at touch with easy access to its pockets.

The main computer sleeve is secure and perfectly fits my laptop and most of the cables that I need; the secondary sleeve contains a media pocket on one side, which I use for my audio player and 2-3 spare batteries for my equips, a zipped mesh pocked in the other that can fit the rest of my cables and accessories, and the main compartment where all the rest fits. The outside smaller pockets are useful to store snacks, but when I’m in a rush I just stuff everything at random with care for sensitive equips and sometimes I even have extra space.

Be careful tho with all that weight. Since SwissGear Computer Backpack is so spacious you’ll be tempted to bring along way too much stuff and despite the comfortable padded straps, you will start to feel all that weight in a couple of hours.
