Description

The SWISSGEAR City Pack Backpack moves through crowded commutes and tight spaces without the bulk of a bag that carries more than the day requires. The lay-flat front organizer opens wide to a full panel of slip pockets, mesh pockets, and dividers for notebooks, IDs, pens, and cables. A padded tablet pocket in the main compartment keeps devices protected and accessible; a side zip pocket and exterior water bottle pocket handle everything that needs to stay within reach. Slim profile and no shortcuts on comfort. Slender shoulder straps with air mesh padding and thumb-ring adjusters dial in the fit without fumbling, and an Airflow back panel runs padded mesh behind your back to prevent heat buildup across long days between stops. At 1.9 lbs, it stays out of the way until you need it. Compression straps stabilize the load whether the bag is packed to capacity or carrying just the essentials. Backed by SWISSGEAR's 5-year limited warranty.

    • Great city pack!
Size: 18-Inch Color: Navy Ballistic
I like this backpack alot. Its perfect for public transport. Im on busses and the subway alot. The form makes it unnecessary to almost ever take it off. The bag is lightweight and has just enough storage space for every day needs.

Perfect size backpack with good organization. I have this backpack in black as well and have used it everywhere. Around the town for me and when I have my grandson and need toys or snacks, and when my husband and I travel. It's not big or bulky on my back, not too heavy even when fully packed, has comfortable shoulder straps, and great organization for keys, wallet, phone ect. Love it! ... show more

    • Decent bag
Size: 18-Inch Color: Camo/Green
Significantly smaller than I would have hoped, not a ton of space to work with. However, if you’re looking for a minimalist EDC bag, give it a go. Zippers are robust.

Just recieved my Swiss gear City Pack backpack. I ordered it to take to Italy soon. I wanted something I could carry around on my trip. After researching I think I found the right backpack. It is small and easy to maneuver but big enough to carry things my wife and I would need on a days outing in Italy. Plenty of room for water bottles, phones, charging blocks, 11 inch tablet or iPad. I easily fit my rain jacket and extra socks or shirt in the main area. So far very happy. ... show more

    • So far so good!
Size: 18-Inch Color: Grey Ballistic
Overall I would recommend this. I have read and seen some reviews where the stitching would not hold, and I can see how this could happen. It is not the best backpack from the build quality, and when I say this there is nothing wrong with it, but I can' see if enough stress is put on a specific area, compared to other bags I own, I would not be surprised to see it tear faster than it should. For now, it is a very solid bag and the front compartment is nice but different than what I'm used to, but very good options and features. I have been able to store quite a few things in it and in the main compartment even put a Samsung S8 Ultra tablet (not in the tablet/computer slot, but the main space). The ballistic nylon version is what sold me. I had someone I met with this bag and was so impressed I got it. I am also going to recommend it. ... show more

I bought this backpack because I actually had purchased one years back. So when I saw this on sale I had to grab another because I really enjoyed my current one, which has endured a lot of use. I was quite let down to find that they had cut corners with this backpack. As you can tell from the pictures it's the exact same backpack, with my older one on the right and the current listed one on the left. The material feels cheap and lighter while mine still holds up to the wear of years from taking it on trips and to work every day. I honestly don't think I'll be using this backpack as a daily because it feels like it will wear out much faster. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice backpack. If you haven't seen or owned the original. Even then some of the reviews complain of the material being cheap and there is truth to that as you can see. Overall, I'd only buy this on sale because if I had held this before I bought it, I would have passed on it. ... show more
