User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have a space for a tablet
Answer:	It has a spot for a lap top I'm sure a tablet would fit in there also. There are several places you could put a tablet actually.
Question:	What are people's ACTUAL experiences with taking this bag (with laptop in it) through security at airports? Does TSA allow laptop to stay in the bag
Answer:	01March2020 - I owned this backpack up until Friday when my rental vehicle was broken into and someone stole the backpack. I travel a lot somewhere between 6 and 8 months out of the year. In the past 2 months it has not mattered if your laptop is in a TSA approved backpack it will be removed out of the bag. Either way I am looking to replace my stolen bag with the same backpack since it is extremely durable and very high quality. I mean it has endured 3 years of overhead and underneath seat storage on airplanes. This backpack is a great buy.
Question:	Is these bag waterproof/ protect from rain
Answer:	I don't think it's 100% water proof. It's more water resistant. I think if you are standing a drenching rain for a period time, everything will get wet. But walking around for a short period of time in the rain, it should be okay. My son uses this at all weather to walk in between classes at school.
Question:	does it fit a 17inch laptop
Answer:	I have an Alienware Gaming laptop that has a 17.3in display and it fits in the laptop compartment with room to spare. I have about a half an inch of room on top where the corner of the laptop is closet to the zipper, about an inch of head room at the very top and about two inches of room on the side. No jack knifing in in there either, it's perfect for my needs.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does a 15 inches laptop fit in this thing
Answer:	It can be squeezed into the backpack , but just barely . This bag isn’t ideal for carrying a laptop, and constantly having to stuff the laptop inside will probably wear the zipper out eventually. I’ve got my Toshiba laptop in a few times , but just ended up using my other bag that’s much larger .
Question:	would this backpack be a good pick for using while riding bike
Answer:	Yes it would be excellent for riding a bike. The bad is a little long, but it is not a big bag. It is fairly compact and should sit comfortably on your back
Question:	will this hold a laptop 17 x 11 and full size keyboard
Answer:	My 9x13 inch laptop fit well in the main content area but not the "tablet" pocket of the main area. Same for my Surface 6. The tablet section is clearly meant for standard iPads. The main section would probably fit something 11x15, or similar, but the zipper is what would limit you.
Question:	Would this backpack fit a 11.6” laptop
Answer:	Thanks for reaching out about SWISSGEAR products! Yes, this backpack fits most 15" class laptops. The official dimensions of our SWISSGEAR 3598 are 18 x 9 x 7 in. You can find even more product details at swissgear.com/swissgear-3598-backpack-black

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I get a warranty replacement on it? The zipper broke on the laptop pocket and it's useless as it is
Answer:	The warranty is on workmanship only. Not normal use, wear and tear or over stuffing.... I have been thru this with the swiss gear company.... I just had the zipper repaired by a seamstress...
Question:	How have the shoulder straps lasted over time? (particularly for those who carry a lot of items in their backpack
Answer:	I've been using the same one going forth to Afghanistan (contractor) for 3 years. I have kept it packed pretty full of: my 17" Toshiba satellite computer, Neat scanner, all electrical device cords (aux plug cord, usb cord & extension, ear buds w/cords, electrical plug converter (Europe, Germany, middle east), battery packs, camera, flashlight, mp3 player, personal paperwork for deployment & travel documents, house and truck keys, note pad, ink pens & marks a lot, sewing kit, super glue, lots of travel snacks (peanuts, trail mix, cliff bars, jerky....etc.), 2 water bottles and a compass.... it shows signs of ware and only been repaired once on the bottom from a tear but the straps and handle are still going strong. And I promise ya I have put it thru its paces in ALL kinds of extreme climates!! I would definitely suggest this pack to anyone using it outdoors!!!! Hope this helps
Question:	Will a 17.3 inches screen Lenovo ideapad Z710 (dimensions: 16.30 x 1.24 x 10.60 inches) fit
Answer:	Not gonna lie, at 17.3 inches my laptop was smack at the top of the bag and made closing the zipper a gamble at best. i would say that they mean a very literal 17 inches and i feel like that is being generous. so no, i don't think it will fit.
Question:	How good is the durability
Answer:	Bought mine in 2008 to go with my new 17" laptop; though the laptop actually does, shockingly, still work 9 years later, perhaps even more shockingly is that this bag still looks almost as good as the day I bought it, save one of the eyelets disappearing (oh and the plastic casing on the carrying strap is ripped up--but oddly the like steel cable beneath it is in perfect shape, hah). And I carried this daily for ~5 years and still bring it on every trip I ever take (as my "go bag" with the stuff I actually need to always have with me) and yeah, basically, I have never regretted my purchase for a moment.

User questions & answers

Question:	What carrying case will fit my 17" laptop
Answer:	Actually most 17" laptops have a dimension of 15x10.3 so if yours fit that dimension it should fit. So measure the height and width of your laptop and see if it fits the 15.2" dimensions.
Question:	Is there a mesh pocket on the strap
Answer:	No, but two mesh pockets on the side.
Question:	Does this backpack has a section for ipad mini or samsung tab
Answer:	In the smaller section of the bag, there is a "sleeve pocket area" that would fit either of those devices, but it's not made for them and it's not padded. When I put my iPad mini in that slot it moves around a bit. I usually put my iPad mini in the main compartment in the padded laptop area to protect it more.
Question:	Does this model have the stippled plastic bottom that's waterproof (have an old SG pack with that and looking for the same, NOT just nylon bottom
Answer:	No it has a nylon bottom with a pretty durable feel but it's definitely not water proof.

User questions & answers

Question:	The pictures show that the shoulder straps have a front clip to keep the straps in place, is this right? In local stores the clip is missing
Answer:	I just ordered this April 2016 and mine has a sternum (cross the chest) strap or 'buckle.' Not many of the packs today have this feature and this is one of the few that still does. I think the feature was removed to save cost or some felt that they wouldn't use it. Let me assure you... Having a sternum strap keeps the weight off your shoulders and balances the load so it's more even across the entire top of your body. I had this same pack in blue for about 6 years of heavy daily use and it NEVER failed me. I just wanted a new one!
Question:	Is this small enough to qualify as a personal item for underseat airplane storage
Answer:	Yes. I have used it as such during commercial flights before.
Question:	What is the total capacity of this backpack in liters
Answer:	28 liters / 1709 CU In
Question:	If used for a college backpack, how weatherproof is it for, say 15 minute walks in the rain to class? Are the contents kept completely dry
Answer:	The backpack is all nylon, but I would not say that it is water proof. I have been caught in the rain before and the contents have stayed dry. However, that is a situation I would typically avoid.
