Review: Zipper broke after 6 months - Disappointed with this item. This new version seems to have lower quality than the original that lasted years.
Review: Several pockets on this, including spaces for a laptop and another for a tablet. This backpack feels very well built and should last me for a long time (I've had it now for 10 months). The biggest thing I was looking for was great zippers. I get so frustrated with broken zippers. These zippers are great. There is also padding for your back when wearing it. Great buy.

Hope this helps. I love my backpack. The only issue was the carbiner spring broke. Can't replace the carbiner because of the way it's attached. Never asked if it was possible to get a new bag. Still happy :)

**Q: Does the pocket up towards the handle hold sunglasses or any type of glasses by chance?**
A: If you mean the small curved zipped pocket, yes it could hold glasses but they should be in a case as there is very little padding there.

**Q: Will this bag fall over when set down?**
A: It depends upon how you pack it.  Like any bag, if it is top heavy, yes, it will tip over.  This is a well constructed, well designed back pack.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by P***D on 6 August 2025*

This product was purchased for my son's birthday to replace the original backpack of the same product. It was exactly the same and my son's original Swiss Army backpack lasted him over 9 years . All through highschool and university. Great product arrived in time for his birthday.
