I recently purchased a Swiss Army backback. I had no idea that Swiss Army even made backpacks but when I saw all the features I couldnt pass it up. They thought of everything a college bond student would need. First off it has a padded back section for your laptop, with enough room for mouse and cord. Then there is the regular big section for all your books and notebooks. Besides the normal features that you would expect from a backpack the Swiss Army pack really excels with all the added features.
First off it has to large side pockets for a water bottle and what I loved about these pockets is that they both had a zipper so you don’t have to worry about your bottle falling out when you set it down like most packs. This packs also has a lot of extra pockets for everything you could think of. It has the normal spot for pens and pencils and calculators but it really speaks to the needs of the typical college student with a place to store your phone, your ipod, a slot on the top of the pack to lace your headphones thru so you can listen while you walk to class.
One of the coolest features that I haven’t seen on any other pack is on the scraps there is a little slot to hang your sunglasses. So once you get to the building where your class it, you take off the sunglasses and slip them in this spot. When class is over and you are outside again, glasses are right there for you, no searching. The last feature is this pack and straps have extra padding so it is more comfortable to carry. This pack was $49.99 at OfficeMax. I purchased it during a promo where OfficeMax will give you back the purchase price in Rewards. So I really got this pack for Free. I probably would not have bought a $50 backpack had it not been for the rewards but I am so glad I did as this pack is really awesome.
