  • The MOST versatile backpack...great for commuting and more!
Size: 18-Inch Color: Black
I use this backpack mainly for commuting for work, but I've also been bringing it with me for all of my other trips. I love that it's low-profile and slim, which makes it a breeze to get through big crowds, yet it has tons of compartments inside that help me both organize my necessities and distribute the weight evenly and comfortably on my back. It's truly a fantastic backpack! The handle strap is thick and makes it comfortable to hold the bag down at your side. When worn, the straps don't feel like they're pulling on my neck or shoulders. The shoulder strap padding is a generous thickness. The straps are designed with small safety reflectors and are easy to adjust with thumb pulls. The bag itself molds to the curve of my back with breathable padding that never feels hot. It's amazing that it only weighs 1.5 pounds while still being so padded and organized! Plus, it isn't too long for my petite 5'4" frame and short torso...it hits me right around my hips. The external drink compartment opens wide enough to hold my stainless steel coffee mug snugly, and is deep enough to hold almost an entire standard size water bottle (pictured). Even better, when holding the bag flat, the drinks I'm holding don't slide out! Small items and electronics are organized neatly in multiple internal compartments, which are easy to find and access with the wrap-around zipper. The zipper pulls make it a breeze to try to open my bag and pull things out or put them away on the go - I never have to stop moving. Plus the material is very durable and even beautiful...I've gotten caught in the train doors, tossed the bag onto the floor at home and on my car's backseat, and it still looks perfectly new. I am NOT careful with this backpack! Still, there are no unsightly scuffs or frayed edges even after a couple of months of hard use, and the contents throughout it all remain secure and unbroken. As for what it can hold: I have multiple charging cables, my Kindle Paperwhite, my portable battery/wall charger, headphones, 1-2 smart phones, my Nintendo switch in the hard carrying case, papers/IDs, toiletries, lunch/drink, and sometimes an oversized hoodie and my large wristlet. The bag is never too bulky or heavy with ALL of these things, and I can still stuff in a few more items if needed. There are even places to clip onto the bag on the outside, though I haven't personally used them...yet :) The only qualm I have with this backpack is with the underside mesh of the shoulder padding; it's a bit rough, so wearing the backpack with something like a tank top might irritate anyone with sensitive skin. It's not a deal-breaker for me, however, since I rarely wear thin strap tank tops, but it's something to note. Moleskin or a soft wrap for the straps would solve the problem. Alas...if only the shoulder padding was as soft as the back padding! A minor critique: it would be great if there was a strap across the back so you could put this on your carry-on bag handle at the airport. You can finagle the shoulder straps to fit, but that one little detail (besides the mesh) would've made this the absolute perfect backpack ever. As it were, it comes close enough for me and I love it! It was exactly the kind of backpack I was looking for. The 5 year warranty and affordable price doesn't hurt either. Thank you Swiss Gear for a most thoughtfully designed product!!! ... show more

  • Strong, Lightweight Compact Backpack
Size: 18-Inch Color: Black
I was looking for a backpack to use for day trips that is comfortable to carry in various conditions whether it be hiking, traveling or commuting. There are a a wide array of choices in this category but I think that this Swiss Gear Daypack is one of the best options. As with other SwissGear products the quality of the material and overall build quality is very good. The nylon seems strong and the quality of the zippers is solid. There are plenty of pockets to organize what you may need for the day without the bulk of a regular size backpack. I was very impressed with how SwissGear designed the smaller pockets in the front because many times most of what I am carrying for a day trip or commute is not large bulky items but the smaller stuff, cables, power bank, headphones, tablet, etc. The main storage compartment would be large enough to stuff an extra shirt or rolled up pair of pants in but I wouldn't use this as my primary overnight bag as it's simply too small for that in my opinion. Also I wouldn't use it to carry a laptop as there isn't enough space for most regular sized laptops in the padded sleeve. You can easily slide in a iPad but I wouldn't carry anything larger. The back of the backpack is also designed vey well with adequate padding/cushioning on both the back and straps. I used this backpack on a 6 hour hike through rough terrain and never felt that is was uncomfortable to carry and also was happy that due to it's smaller size my back didn't get too hot. I would highly recommend this backpack if you are willing to pay a little more for the SwissGear brand over some of the cheaper/no name brands on here because the overall quality and design is absolutely worth the price. ... show more

  • Good compact backpack for daily commute
Size: 18-Inch Color: Dark Grey
This is perfect backpack for my daily commute to work. I have a bigger backpack, but I don't want to use it daily, unless I need to carry a lot of things. This backpack is very compact, but has very well organized space. Also, this backpack very reasonably priced, for the quality you get. It isn't very expensive, compared to other high-end brands, but the quality is obvious. The materials used are high quality, I didn't notice any defects (and I have been using this backpack for a while now). Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. It fits my needs, and I feel like I didn't spend more than I need to for a good quality product. ... show more

  • Compact
Size: 18-Inch Color: Black
It’s a awesome BP, holds my work laptop, my meds, charging brick and so much more. It has many pockets to help keep things organized. It’s also well constructed and durable. The price is very affordable. I’m very pleased with my purchase of this BP.

  • Nice small pack. Perfect size for FPC.
Size: 18-Inch Color: Black Ballistic
This is a great size backpack for carrying just a couple of things. The ballistic nylon and the straps are sturdy and comfortable enough.

  • Great sturdy back for day trips without being a full backpack
Size: 18-Inch Color: Black
Was looking for a backpack for a day trip and this fits the bill. Just the right size for phones, lunch, battery and drinks. Not big enough for larger laptops so definite not a true commuter bag. Perfect for a hike or day in the city. Quality is on par with the bigger bags. Have used this more often when I don't need the large electronic devices. Still has all the convenience and pockets of the larger bags I'm used to. ... show more

  • Not SwissGear quality at all
Size: 18-Inch Color: Black Ballistic
The quality of this bag is so poor. Nothing you'd expect from swissgear. I purchased this bag on May 10th 2023 - so just over 7 months of Light use. Initially I wasn't thrilled with the shape of the bag or thinness of the bag structurally. I knew the shape and measurements of the bag before I bought it, however it looks entirely Cheap once you're carrying anything. This bag was hardly used, the tear gives access to the main compartment, so this is officially trash. I am annoyed at the waste going to trash, don't do what I did. ... show more
