    I'm searching for a notebook backpack here in Slovenija (Europe). I have 60€ (82 dollars). I was wondering how big is the RIVAL model. I need place for the laptop, power adapter, some books and some little things.
    I need some pictures with the laptop in and some books before I buy it to be sure it's good for me. The price of this model in our contry is 60€ :mad:
    I was also wondering to buy a neoprene sleve for water resistance and some extra protection but i don't know if it will fit in the pocket for the notebook on the backpack.

    I'm sory for my bad english.

    Thanks

    Hey there,
    Here is a linky for the Swiss Gear Rival thru Overstock.com

    http://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/Wenger-SwissGear-Rival-Computer-Backpack/2676257/product.html

    It has a few pictures, product details..etc...It looks to be an older bag, as it is not available on some online store sites ;)

    If you like the Swiss Gear brand..have you considered the Swiss Gear Synergy? It's a nice backpack for a lappy.

    Here is a review: (done here by Tim from the forum)
    http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3631&review=Wenger+SwissGear

    It has detailed pics, etc. that you were looking for (though it's not the Rival) ;)

    Here is the Swiss Gear Synergy on Amazon's UK Intl site:

    Hope that helps,

    Cin ;) :)

    Yes i have considered the Synergy but it cost's to much 80€. I was hoping for some pictures from users with the rival backpack.

    Well, this is the good place to post...I think there are others here with the Rival..and possibly they can post their own pic's if they have them. :)
