Product Information
Full details
This SwissGear 1900 ScanSmart TSA Laptop Backpack in Black is ideal for adults, particularly travelers and students, who need a durable and feature-rich bag for carrying laptops up to 17 inches and other gear. Its key benefit is the ScanSmart lay-flat technology for efficient TSA security checks, but a caveat is its bulkiness when fully packed, which may exceed carry-on size limits on some smaller aircraft. The backpack is constructed from rugged 1200D ballistic polyester and offers ample storage with specialized compartments for laptops, tablets, files, and accessories, alongside comfortable carrying features like an airflow back panel and padded shoulder straps.

Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper pull back and forth. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to free the material. Avoid forcing the zipper, which can cause damage.
