Review: Good high quality bag - i replaced an older year old one i gave to my brother. very sturdy, excellent quality. theyve also solved a lot of the tight pocket issues i had with the older year old bag, and it is more accessible and easier to use the multiple pockets. it is also very comfortable and cushioned. the multiple compartments mean the bag is great for work or as a laptop bag, but not as easy for say your next vacation to carry clothes...but definitely improved.
Review: Just another quality product from Wenger - I previously owned the Wenger Swiss Gear Synergy GA-7305-14 for just over 3 years. That bag was amazing, except it couldn't "properly" hold my new 17" laptop. Hence the purchase of this Swiss Gear Ibex backpack. Just to show what kind of quality Wenger puts into their backpacks, I took everything out of my old Wenger Synergy backpack and compared them side by side and I could barely tell a difference between the new bag and the old bag. I lugged the Synergy around everywhere I went for just about every day of the year (literally) for over 3 years. Been through airports, on buses, and even on long treks across the Vegas strip (at a convention in Las Vegas) and it's no worse for the wear. So when I needed a larger backpack and Wenger had one, it was a no brainer for me. I've had the Ibex for a little over a month now and it's doing great. It has TONS of room for everything. My freakin' life is in that bag. I carry my Dell M6400 17" laptop workstation, three external Hard Drives, the power brick for the Dell M6400 (and it is literally the size of a brick), copies of the main software packages that I use (Autodesk Inventor, Visual Studio, MS Office 2007, etc.), Digital Calipers, regular paper notebook billfold, a set of computer screwdrivers, pens and pencils... I could keep going, but you get the point. The Dell M6400 fits perfectly inside the laptop holding pocket and the zippers don't rub on the corners of the laptop when you zip the bag up. The bag is actually more comfortable to wear than the Synergy (I don't know why that is... but it just is). The materials and workmanship are top notch and highly durable. My only complaint would be that the side "open" pockets were designed differently than the Synergy. The top of the opening is sloping away from the person wearing the backpack. These pockets are used for carrying a waterbottle or something that the person wearing it would need "quick access" to, without dismounting the backpack. The direction of the slope makes it difficult to get the waterbottle (etc.) out and also to put it back. Final conclusion: A great 17" laptop backpack! Well worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How good is the durability?**
A: The durability is poor. I had the model for over 10 years before the straps and zippers broke. I bought a replacement in 2017 and it lasted less than a month before a strap pulled out. That, at least was covered by warranty. 
I did receive a replacement and that has lasted less than 5 years before the laptop compartment zipper broke. As the warranty period is 3 years, I’m now buying from another manufacturer,.

Goodbye, Wenger and your poorly made products.

**Q: Will a 17.3 inches screen Lenovo ideapad Z710 (dimensions: 16.30 x 1.24 x 10.60 inches) fit?**
A: 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.

**Q: How have the shoulder straps lasted over time? (particularly for those who carry a lot of items in their backpack)**
A: I carry a heavy load in my ibex backpack on a routine basis and have had no issues with the straps giving out or sagging.  I can pack a 17" laptop, all the peripherals for it as well as text books, binders and writing instruments without issue.  It has great storage capacity and because of the shoulder strap design, it takes some of the stress off of my shoulders when carrying the load wherever I trek.  Well made and after 6 years, still a great bag.

**Q: dimensions**
A: Per SwissGear Service, laptop compartment dimensions are 16"H x 12"W  x 1.75"D.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you take care of it and it will take care of your needs :)
*by J***S on June 27, 2018*

Way back in 2010 I had bought this book bag from another website for about $80 which was $10 cheaper than retail sites in my area. I do not like to change book bags every year for school. I would rather have one that is durable and lasts for the long haul and fits everything I need. So, since these bags are exactly the same I can tell you that it made it through my 9th-12th (2010-2014) grade career and then through four years of college. This is an amazing bag and works perfect for me. The computer pouch is a winner because it fits my 17” laptop and protects it. Now a few flaws this bag will see over the use of time: The self standing up feature will soon get worn out due to the weight of books bending the cardboard like shelf built in. No biggi. The next noticble thing is the load shocks. Haha you will have so much packed in that bag, you might as well scrap that idea. They are stretched to the max but I guess it does help if you got a hop in your walk. I don’t know, guess if you walk around with noting in the bag they would work great but you put about 3 good sized textbooks in there and a binder (by the way is a tight fit) those little shocks on the shoulder straps are screaming. Next will be the bottom corners. After setting it down and sliding it into place the corners get to be worn out drastically causing the threads to be exposed weakening the bottom. Along with this thank the external weight the bottom will begin to rip at the seam. Another spot that rips is around the support for the cable handel from grabbing the bag up with a super load over time (I had it all sewed up and worked fine for another couple years)! The cable handel which is a real eye catcher for people (they are like wow, is that a cable in there!?!) haha but again over many years the metal on the cable edges will become tarnished. The rubber/plastic handel covering the cable starts to break apart from the weight of picking the bag up loaded. The backing of this bag that is supposed to be bratheable... If you live in the South and the humidity is on 1000% you can for get it... I guess if air shot down your back as you walk it would be breathable. The bottom pad of the back which rests around the belt line I noticed that it can wear cotton shirts out from the rubbing of the material on softer cotton shirts (I just noticed the little lint balls forming on my shirts in that area). I’m talking t-shirts not dress. The little plastic caps on the end of the straps tend to get in the way. I still have them on mine but teachers really had a hard time on the tile floors in schools when they wouldn’t watch where they were stepping and they would slip up on them... none never fell thankfully but it scared them for sure. Growing older it will get caught in the door jam of cars so you will slam that door on it. Just got to watch that... The compartments: Laptop pitch is padded. The small puch where the cable handel is where I like to stick a charger and candies for class haha. Large compartment as covered earlier can become a tight fit. If it’s full of books and stuff it probably won’t fit that jacket you were wearing during the morning. A little shoving for effort may be an option though. Basically if you pack that main compartment the other 2 front ones become useless for books with great thickness. The medium sized pocket I kept napkins in (there’s a netted ziper pouch). The little pouch on the front was pens, pencils, highlighters, germ x, usb drive, extra erasers, extra led, and one of those t-98 something calculators. Never had a problem there. Always knew where everything was, you can find stuff in the dark if you organize it right. Bottom line I’ve have this bag going on 8 years now and counting. I got this for a back up for when my primary bag completely tells me it’s done. I am certain they are exactly the same bag and quality. Will buy again but I believe this will last a lifetime now that I am done with school and it will not be used daily. It will be used for over night stays for work and travel now.
