High Sierra Swerve Laptop Backpack

Great backpack. I really like High Sierra bags. This is a replacement for an old one of 10+ years.

I bought this one as a replacement for a similar backpack of this brand and I absolutely love them! They are so durable and thought though! You can put so much stuff in there! And they would literally last years and years

The best quality. I have bought this item fifth time

Good support with lots of space and compartments.

Returned item as it was not the same as before

Good for college books and folders

Excellent service and product!!

Lasts so much longer than most backpacks!

I needed a computer pack for daily use as well as for occasional travel. I bought this just before taking a 10-day trip that involved travel by plane, train and bus. The pack went through numerous security checks as well as being stored in all manner of locations including under seats, in overhead bins and under other bags. So far, the bag has held up very well. I do see some slight signs of wear, but under the circumstances, I am not concerned. As for the usefulness of the pack itself, it's pretty well organized in terms of compartments. The laptop area is sufficient, I would suspect for laptops up to 17", but probably not larger. My 17" fits just fine, though it is just on the snug side. There are plenty of access flaps to various compartments, though I do have one beef with the design. In the rearmost compartment, it is divided into 3 separate 'pockets' of space - one for a laptop and 2 more for binders, paper, etc. You can access all 3 from the back flap, right above the laptop pocket, or from the next zippered opening in front of that pocket. It makes it appear like there are 2 separate storage areas, when it's really 2 openings to the same space. To me, I just don't see the need to add the additional opening, but that's just my preference. I like the small pouch at the top of the bag when traveling - when it's time to hit a security checkpoint, I pull any metal I may have - change, keys, etc. out of my pocket and put them in that pouch. They are easy to retrieve after clearing security. The front pouch has the usual little pockets for misc. items, plus pen/pencil holders. Two water bottle pouches on either side of the bag can handle up to 1 liter bottles of water, though a slightly smaller bottle is a better fit. The bag is fairly spacious, but not over-sized. I've used this for a day pack while taking walking trips and packing food, jackets, a camera and other misc. stuff. It's capable of holding more than it would appear to hold at first glance.Fully loaded, the pack is comfortable enough for me to carry all day. The straps are well padded and the breathable mesh on the back of the pack as well as the straps make for a more comfortable fit. Also, I'm a big guy - 6'1". I sometimes have trouble finding packs that have sufficient strap length for someone my size - that's no problem here. My wife, at almost a foot shorter, could easily adjust the pack to fit her if needed. Even fully loaded, this was comfortable to carry - assuming you're not carrying lead bricks. There is a handle at the top of the pack that makes grab and go or retrieval from a luggage bin much easier. Build quality is great. It's not water-proof or even water resistant as far as I can tell, but it's a good sturdy material that should hold up for awhile. The zippers seem to be heavy duty and good quality - having dealt with faulty zippers in the past, that's one of the first things that catch my attention. The pack looks nice, which is always a bonus. Overall, this is one of the better packs of this type I've ever owned. I'm considering buying a second just to make sure I have it if this one ever wears out. 5 stars for me.

Tough and too good. Excellent quality

Just what I was looking for...... It's cut to fit a Woman.. and so comfortable~ It's made with typical High Sierra Construction. Made in China. It's not a HUGE backpack.. but I would say about Roomy Medium Size.... If you tend to bring home every book in your class.. it's not for you.. but for a medium load.. it's perfect. I love the bright cranberry color with the pop of dark orange look...... I'm very pleased!

Excellent quality! This backpack lasts years! The zippers are very strong and sturdy and the material is excellent quality. Our 16 year old has been using this backpack for about 6 years and still loves it. She did break a zipper after about 3 years (due to over-stuffing) so we replaced with the same backpack.
