    Anyone notice the Targus Drifter II is a SwissGear?

    Just saw this backpack while surfing for a new one, but the metal cable handle with grommets at the ends was a dead giveaway. This looks just like a modified SwissGear Pegasus, same metal cable handle, same shaped cushions for the back, same side pockets and mesh, even the yellow accents (red on the SwissGear bags) look the same.

    Behind a lot of these bigger-brand stuff has to be some OEM Chinese factory churning these out.

    It's not a Swissgear backpack rebranded. But, yes I did notice that the Targus backpack is very very similar to Swissgear's backpacks.

    I am backpack hunting right now btw.
