    Swiss Gear and High Sierra have much better quality than Targus, imho.

    I love my targus. I am 6 foot 1, and the swiss gear felt small on my back. I bought a targus to fit a 16", and it fits my body like a dream, very durable, and only $50 from amazon. I've been using it for a year now, it still looks like new. I carry 1-2 book, 1-2 notebooks and occasionally ride my bike
