High Sierra Backpack Reviews

Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or hiking, High Sierra backpacks go the distance—here’s how they’ve made a real difference in the lives of everyday users.
As a teacher who carries a lot—from lab notebooks and Chromebooks to my own lunch and gym clothes—I’ve put several backpacks to the test over the years. The High Sierra Loop Backpack completely won me over with its smart compartment layout and durability. I’ve used it daily for almost two years now, and the zippers still work flawlessly, the stitching hasn’t frayed, and the padded straps are just as comfortable as day one. The internal organizer is perfect for pens, markers, USB drives, and even small tools I use for classroom demos. I also appreciate the side compression straps because they help keep everything snug and balanced, especially when I bike to work. It even fits under airplane seats when I travel for school conferences. One detail that stands out is the rugged base—it’s protected the contents of my bag even when I’ve had to set it down in rain puddles or on dusty sidewalks during field trips. I also love the headphone port feature for when I need to tune out and concentrate during my prep time or commute. Even after being thrown into car trunks, dragged through crowded hallways, and loaded with heavy textbooks, the Loop Backpack has held up beautifully. It’s the kind of reliable gear that becomes part of your daily routine without ever letting you down. I’ve recommended it to colleagues and students alike, and several of them now swear by it too.

As someone who’s constantly moving between client meetings, coffee shops, and co-working spaces, I need a backpack that’s both sleek and capable of protecting my tech gear. I bought the High Sierra Swerve Laptop Backpack almost a year ago, and I’m genuinely impressed by how thoughtfully it’s designed. My 17" laptop fits securely in the padded sleeve, and there’s plenty of room left for my tablet, sketchbooks, charging cables, and even a light jacket. The back panel has great ventilation, so I never feel too hot carrying it, even in the summer. What I really love is the headphone port and the media pocket—it’s like they knew exactly what I needed. It also handles weight distribution incredibly well, which is essential for someone who walks as much as I do. Over time, I’ve really come to appreciate the bag's ergonomic features. The S-shaped padded straps reduce strain on my shoulders and distribute weight evenly, even when I'm carrying a full load. I’ve also flown with it multiple times—it fits nicely under the seat or in the overhead bin, and I can easily access my electronics during TSA checks thanks to the top-loading design. Its durability is also worth noting—despite daily wear, it looks almost brand new. I even spilled coffee on it once, and after a quick wipe, it was as if nothing happened. High Sierra nailed both form and function with this backpack. It’s not just a bag—it’s a portable studio that helps me stay organized and professional on the move.

I’ve taken my High Sierra True Navy Wheeled Backpack on multiple cross-country tours and countless day trips with clients. It’s hands-down one of the best travel companions I’ve owned. The wheels roll smoothly on everything from airport floors to cobblestone streets, and when the terrain gets rough, I just pull out the shoulder straps and wear it like a regular backpack. The build quality is solid—I’ve stuffed it to the brim with gear, documents, and hiking boots, and it still holds its shape and structure. The telescoping handle doesn’t wobble and retracts smoothly every time. I also appreciate the padded laptop compartment, which keeps my travel tech safe and easy to access at security checkpoints. It’s one of those rare pieces of gear that feels like it was made by someone who actually travels. I’ve used it in rain, snow, and even in desert heat, and it’s performed well in all conditions. The corner guards and reinforced bottom have saved it from serious wear, even after it was dragged across rough terrain or loaded into crammed overhead compartments. There’s also a surprising amount of space inside—I can pack clothes for a three-day trip, my first-aid kit, water bottles, and still have room for maps and trail snacks. Switching between rolling and carrying modes is seamless, which helps when I’m guiding clients through uneven terrain where wheels just won’t cut it. For anyone who needs a hybrid bag that can handle airports and nature trails with equal ease, this backpack is a total win.
