Comments about High Sierra Swerve Computer Daypack - Special Buy:

I bought this about 4 years ago in orange and grey. I have been really happy with it over that period. Its huge, has three full size pockets, one slightly smaller one in the front, and one small velvet lined cellphone pocket at the top. It can really take in a lot of stuff. There is a padded laptop compartment which can fit a 15" laptop, anything bigger will probably be tight.

I find the straps comfortable and the back padding adequate for my purposes. Though it would get sweaty after wearing for a few hours, still not too bad.

Its also fairly durable. It has lots of tightening straps, and one time three years ago, I stepped on one while lifting the bag, so it ripped a bit. I don't hold that against it, as it was my fault (though it does have a lot of straps floating around). It has held up well apart from that.

I use it extensively for traveling as a carry on, as it can hold my laptop, my big camera, a change of clothes, and lots of other nick knacks.

The main con is the weight. Its surprising heavy even empty. So it can easily be around 20lbs-30lbs even with just basic day pack stuff. I don't necessarily have a problem with it since I am used to it, but my wife absolutely hates it. Too heavy for her. Despite being bulky, it feels solid and carries its weight well.

Another con, all the straps don't look solid, however they have held up well over time. So maybe its just the appearance.

Another con, is the zipper, they sometimes are a bit hard to use, especially when you try to rush it. Though, if you are patient they would work fine.

I really like mine, and would recommend it as long as the weight is not an issue.

Comments about High Sierra Swerve Computer Daypack - Special Buy:

I love this Daypack. I had struggled with heavy packs to support my computer, day planner, phone, Ipod, notebooks, ... and then found this one. I actually carry more in this one than my previous and feels much lighter. The other reviewer mentioned straps, yes they dangle down for the suspension strap system, but there are enough loops and slots to hang them in out of the way and takes nothing away from the usage.
