I purchased this bag based on several key features,
1. side mesh pockets for keys (I'm lucky I live in a town with little crime so not worried about security),
2. large side zip pockets for water bottles or laptop chargers etc,
3. front lower pocket with organiser for pens, eye drops, wallet, meds and the like. Not quit as good as previous bags with the actual pockets, but still pretty good, have found it is more a free for all type pocket
4. top front pocket is good for sun glasses (wrapped in own soft protection bag)
5. Main compartment good for most things. down side is it has two sleeves for keeping books organised, but I find it gets in the way when storing pretty much anything in the compartment, I'm tempted to cut them out
6. Two laptop / document storage compartments against the back of the pack, good for 15" HP laptop and also useful for any books etc
General comments
1. The top handle flops down meaning it seriously gets in the way when putting anything in the main compartment, I fixed this by zip tieing it to one of the straps at the top of the shoulder straps in a upright position, works well.
2. The shoulder straps sit well on my shoulder and do not clash with my arms when walking
3. It is not the lightest bag but this means it stands up pretty much by itself when it put in on the floor as opposed to falling over like a lighter bag (personal hate of mine)
4. I have used it for some long off road motor bike rides with out problem, nothing even looks like it will fail
5. its not the biggest bag, but that stops me from carring to much, I can get enought in it for a over night work trip away with a bit of carful packing
6. I like the styling, not your average bag
7. Zips are great and take a lot of abuse
Summary
It took me a long time to find this bag as shopping on line is not the same as in store, I live in town with no bag stores. My research was worth it as I would buy this bag again if it still made and if there was nothing else newer that was better. However I suspect that will be five or more years away as it is very well made.
I like the fact that the laptop slides in from the side instead of the top. It makes it a lot easier to insert and remove the laptop. There is also a LOT of padding in there, so you don't feel the hard laptop against your back, nor do you have to worry as much about your laptop being damaged.
The rubber grip on the handle is nice too. It gives you a good, sturdy point to carry the bag when you're not wearing it as a backpack.
I also appreciate the fact that the shoulder straps are long enough to be very comfortable on a large framed person. A year ago, I was pushing 300lbs, and always had a hard time finding a bag with straps to fit my large frame. I no longer have that problem, but I can tell that this bag would have easily fit me then.
If you travel a lot, there are a LOT of small pockets on this bag to hold all of your stuff, especially when you're going through security. There's a small pocket at the top that's perfect for your change, watch, rings, etc. There's also another larger pocket on the front that has a key ring for your keys, and has plenty of room to hold your pens/pencils, business cards, and smart phone.
There's also a quick access pocket for your music player, that can also double for holding your smart phone.
There is a large area that's great for holding your standard accessories (power cables, ethernet cables, usb cables, etc). You can't load everything you own in there, but it's plenty sufficient for the stuff you need.
A really NICE feature is a small rubber "clip" on the strap to hold your glasses. I know this is intended for traveling, but since I wear prescription glasses and have prescription sunglasses as well, this is PERFECT for holding my regular glasses while I'm wearing my sunglasses.
And of course, the case clamshells open to run through the airport x-ray without having to remove your laptop.
There's only one thing that I don't really like about the bag - the pocket for holding your papers and files is the same pocket that completely unzips to clamshell the bag. This means that if you're taking the bag through the airport security line, you either can't have a lot of stuff in that pocket or it'll be loose and exposed when you go through security, or you'll just end up having to remove the laptop from the bag and not worry about clamshelling the bag to go through security. This isn't a big deal for me as I only fly maybe 4-5 times a year, but for the air warriors, this is something that must be considered.
Take all of this into account, and consider the fact that the bag has a 5 year limited warranty, and you really can't go wrong with this bag!
On travel days it carries two iPad Pros, one in an Otter Box case, a Kindle Fire, two backup Lion batteries, a bundle of charging cables and plugs, AirPods, passport, USCG documentation, two bundles of keys, TWIC card in a case, water bottle, full-size umbrella, bag of snacks, bag of nips, bag of meds, bottle of Ibuprofen, gum, mints, etc. It swallows all this and more, and while it’s heavy, because of the contents, it’s manageable and fits under the airplane seat.
The bag has survived 6 years of brutal treatment in airports and aboard the commercial vessels I drive. It’s been my constant companion, and I only have one complaint. It doesn’t stand up on its own when fully loaded. When I place it upright on the floor or other surfaces it slowly leans forward, and eventually topples. So, I have to lean it against things or place it in such a way that it doesn’t fall.
I’m writing this after six years of happy use because I finally broke one of the many zippers. I blame myself for overloading the main storage area and forcing the zipper.
So, I’m retiring this great bag and, after much research replacing it with the SwissGear 5358, which is slightly larger and has a few slightly different design features. I’ll let you know if it measures up.

Los tirantes tienen elástico para amortiguar el peso, en la parte superior tiene una agarradera reforzada que a simple vista parece imposible se romper.
La parte trasera (la que va pegada a la espalda) tiene un canal de ventilación que deja pasar aire perfectamente lo cual ayuda mucho en caminatas largas.
