SWISSGEAR SA1061 Laptop Backpack
Simple Everyday Bag
The SWISSGEAR SA1061 Laptop Backpack was created with ease of use in mind. Notably, the SWISSGEAR SA1061 features an easy to access main compartment and a front quick stash pocket for small item storage.
Like the SWISSGEAR SA1186, the SWISSGEAR SA1061 Backpack is equipped with cushioned shoulder straps and a lightly padded back panel to provide comfortable carrying support while on the go. Additionally, the SWISSGEAR SA1061 Backpack has a top carry handle for easy portability.
A robust, multifunctional backpack, the SWISSGEAR SA1061 has an interior nylon liner and lightweight carrying profile. Furthermore, the SA1061 Laptop Backpack has a durable base panel that provides additional protection against wear and tear.
Overall, the SWISSGEAR SA1061 Laptop Backpack is a lightweight alternative to traditional laptop bags. In terms of comfort and storage capacity, the SA1061 Laptop Backpack falls short of a comparable SWISSGEAR option, the Sherpa Laptop Backpack. Additional SA1061 features include side water bottle pockets as well as a headphone jack integrated into the bag.
