This backpack was a complete waste of $90. After merely five months of use, it’s coming completely apart. As you can see from the attached pictures, there are multiple holes developing in different parts of the backpack and extensive fraying of the internal layers (which leaves a bunch of annoying fragments of plastic material on anything I put inside). I’m a student and have only used the backpack to carry books to and from school (i.e. I’ve never gone hiking with it or handled it roughly), which speaks to how low the quality must be for it to be falling apart from such light use. In fact, I probably wouldn’t have cared if I had only found one hole, but the fact that there are multiple, independent defects is unacceptable.
I don’t know what’s going on with Victorinox, but stay far far away from this backpack!

I have not had it for 6 months, it is falling apart. Paid too much for this backpack for it to be falling apart. I think it has warranty though, but I am not sure. I probably need to call the manufacture. I will check and follow-up.

This review is from: Victorinox Vx Sport Trooper (Apparel)
I’ve had this bag for about 6 months and used as my everyday bag. Looks great, holds everything I carry nicely, but is starting to come apart near the left shoulder on the laptop compartment zipper. Was very small and two days later it’s about 2 inches. I had another samsonite bag made of similar material that had the same problem so I think it’s this type of larger weave nylon,
Trying to send it back to victorinox to see if they will replace under warranty but I’m sure the next one will do the same, so I’m looking for another bag,
