SwissGear 1900 Backpack Review: Such A Thing As TOO Many Pockets?

[@longWriter]

I was at a store, picking up a backpack to replace one that wore out, and wanted to know if this was the right one for me. I think it is; thanks for posting this review! It’s very convenient to be able to look up product reviews on KZbin like this, and it’s thanks to your video that I was able to!

[@foXnoMad]

You're welcome and thanks for letting me know! Happy to hear the video was helpful 🙂

[@spellbound8602]

This is one of the greatest in-depth reviews I have ever seen. Thanks for your awesome video.

[@foXnoMad]

I really appreciate you saying that, thank you!

[@TheRealJohnMadden]

As a SysAdmin who carries around a SHIT ton of things to be ready for any situation from building to building, this backpack is fricking amazing. I have my MacBook, iPad Pro, tone & probe kit, Fluke network troubleshooter, iFixIt Toolkit, various chargers and respective blocks, ethernet cables, spare 5 port switches, and waaaaay too many other items. Basically, this thing and most of SwissGear's backpacks are an IT professional or field technicians best friend.

Great review- thanks for taking the time to make this, love that it's not just an unboxing

[@foXnoMad]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!

[@WattWireNet]

Review well done! So many other reviews are more "unboxings" instead of thoughtful & efficient comments based on real experience. Thank you.

[@foXnoMad]

I'm very happy to hear it. Thanks for your comment and letting me know!

[@RodneyFisk]

Well produced video and good review! Love the screen reader voiceovers for the sections. Well done.

[@foXnoMad]

Thanks very much!

[@robot5546]

can you avoid the shape the bag makes by arranging your gear better and then using the compression straps to hold said gear in place?

[@foXnoMad]

Unfortunately not much - the interior pockets make the base wider to start with so it tends to have the pear shape no matter how you pack it.

[@VixionTech]

@@foXnoMadAlright, I want to use them for travel :)

[@MrJay197409]

Not enough pockets needs double the amount.

[@WzeOwl]

I have had the swiss gear 1900 since 2016 my question is who paid you to lie about this amazing backpack and as a Veteran it is my go to backpack for any situation.

[@bernardrobertgilbride603]

In my opinion the Swiss gear 1900backpack is the best damn backpack out there! I am on my fifth one. The other 3 I gave away for gifts to my family to this day,my family loves them I have one for work and one for my personal! obviously this gentleman has his opinion. I don’t agree with it but I do with you my friend. Thank you for your service. God bless.

[@soldatheero]

@@bernardrobertgilbride603 i think he brings up a good pt and have come to similar conclusions about having lots of pockets, makes it harder to fit larger items

[@PbasR]

Did you have any problem with rain ( bc the zippers are not covered)? Also is the laptop compartment being sideways annoying? Im trying to decide between this and osprey nebula since I carry a 17 inch laptop.

[@foXnoMad]

To your first question: none. I've had this bad in some strong rains and it's done an excellent job of keeping all the water out. Also, the sideways laptop pocket I find very convenient, particularly in airport security lines.

[@vv402]

not regretful after purchase this backpack 2 hours ago!!!

[@veteranzombiehunters]

At first I thought the reviewer was just being a bit of a snob, but he’s right! The additional laptop compartment and folder dividers makes fitting a lunch box a bit of a squeeze. My “Fulton bag co” lunch box from target DOES fit, but may want to clip to exterior or hope my new lunch bag is slimmer. Not a big deal; I bought the bag for the multiple water bottle pockets, with straps. No more losing my bottle when throwing my bag over my shoulder, or carrying multiple beverages, lunch box, AND laptop/briefcase at once! Also love the easy access half-zip laptop compartment. Careful not to zip it all the way!, or you won’t be able to open it while slung over your right shoulder. (Perhaps they should’ve had it unzip from the bottom ;) )

[@foXnoMad]

Hah! I'll take being right over being a snob any day - quite an arch for a review video 😃

[@MisterFuturtastic]

2:01 - what is the name of the bag you put in here?

[@foXnoMad]

That's a Swiss Gear Toiletry kit I used as packing cubes: amzn.to/3enhlmN

[@jesusperez2863]

Where on the backpack does it say the model #? Mine seems to show a 9867 on a very small tag in the middle compartment. I need this back again, but I can't seem to find anywhere. Tia!

[@foXnoMad]

Check the link in the video description: amzn.to/2L8ZRus

[@bloodsweatsteel914]

Wait, your saying the Swiss Gear 1900 is bigger than the Wenger Synergy? Can you let me know? That’s so odd when you compare the L x W x H of each bag. I’m needing the bigger one, of course can’t see before buying.

[@foXnoMad]

Off hand I don't recall exactly but the difference in internal space can be from all the internal pockets cutting into the interior storage space.

[@bloodsweatsteel914]

🤔 but the 1900 is the one with the internal dividers in the main pouch yet you said it’s bigger than the synergy.

[@bloodsweatsteel914]

Thank you for replying

[@nancywheeler8359]

Which one do you recommend, the Swissgear or North face? I want one for work and travel.

[@foXnoMad]

Both are good options, but different designs.

[@SavindySoysa-ee3oh]

Hello is this waterproof ? Since we are carrying so many tech inside. Thank you

[@foXnoMad]

It is water resistant enough to handle moderate rain for moderate amount of times when you're walking outside but not waterproof.

[@dumplingduppy1502]

What is the clip on the outside of the bag there for?

[@foXnoMad]

Can be used for anything it can hold.

[@oliviergoggins]

YOREPEK backpack or Swissgear 1900 or one of the best-sold backpack on Amazon the Matein backpack? I can't decide! Maybe you can help me decide.

[@foXnoMad]

I'll have to check those all out! But if you're looking for a bag and into gaming (just a guess based on your username) in the next week or two I'll have a backpack review which you might very interested in for choices.

[@marioschristofi2827]

Is this the Noir Satin Color or the Grey one?

[@foXnoMad]

It's the grey one.

[@Aldearhovynmagalona123]

New here sir is this available in the philippines? Howmuch?

[@foXnoMad]

I'm not sure but hopefully you can find it.

[@bendupere6501]

Hi Does it have enought place for a lunch bag 9x6 inches

[@foXnoMad]

It depends how much you stuff the other pockets but generally speaking, it should fit.

[@taymay4894]

no such thing as too many pockets

[@foXnoMad]

😄

[@KeCasgrimola]

there should be a disclaimer: warning, you may lose your stuff within the bagpack itself… jk but srsly, if you lose your usb drive you now have to look through every single damn pocket. so it’s not for everyone. if you’re disorganized don’t get this bag

[@pf9d791]

I like a lot of pockets

[@foXnoMad]

I guess then for you there's no such thing as too many!

[@pf9d791]

@@foXnoMad nope😂

[@eliteiel9747]

Oughta be joking... a company called swissgear doesnt deliver to switzerland?

[@thescibsters2049]

Eh, I agree. I can never find anything.

[@brendon_a17]

This dude has more shots of this bag pack on a boat then on his back. What kind of review is this??

[@legallycurated1796]

Just got one.... Awkward shape that doesn't sit well spot on...

[@andreyfox735]

Shut up and take my money lol

[@foXnoMad]

😂

[@jamesweiler3554]

too much travel video, too much about other backpacks, too much time spend just showing static view of the backpack, video jumps to different views too quickly to see what's being shown, no view into the bottom of compartments to see the actual width and depth,. - e.g. other videos show the depth of the side pockets.
