Daily gear deal – big Swiss Gear luggage clearance

by Scott Carmichael on

Today’s daily deal is for a spring cleaning sale of Swiss Gear bags over at Amazon. The lineup includes a bunch of backpacks, some rolling luggage, messenger bags and laptop bags.

The bags start just under $20, and the discounts range from a measly $10 all the way up to well over $250 on the more advanced bags.

All orders over $25 will ship for free. When you find a bag you like, be sure to check the pricing on different colors of the same bag, less popular colors can often shave up to $20 off the price.

Daily deal – Swiss Gear computer backpack for $30

by Scott Carmichael on

Today’s deal of the day is for the highly rated Swiss Gear computer backpack. This stylish travel rated backpack features padded shoulder straps, an MP3 player pocket, a laptop pocket and even special opening in the top to route your headphones inside the bag to your iPod or other player.

You’ll find the deal at Amazon.com for just $29.99, and since it is over $25, you even get free (saver) shipping. The bag has a retail price of just over $100, so the deal really is quite “hot”.

Sadly, the deal is only available on the red version of the bag, so if you don’t like standing out like a Swiss Army Knife on your next trip, you may want to look for a less visible bag.

Daily deal – Swiss Gear Montreaux backpack for $8.54

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for the Swiss Gear Montreaux technical daypack.

This high quality bag has 2 side pockets, one large main compartment and an iPod/mp3 player pocket with a headphone pass-through jack.

The bag is available in several colors, but to get the low price of $8.54, you’ll have to select pink, red, black or gray, if you select any of the other colors, the price will shoot up to just under $19. The normal retail price of the bag is over $30!

As always, you’ll need to order more than $25 from Amazon to be eligible for their free shipping, or you can use your Amazon Prime account if you have one.

There are no reviews of this bag, but to be honest, at eight and a half bucks, there is very little that can go wrong, so I’ve ordered one for myself (just not in pink).

Daily deal – massive SwissGear clearance – great luggage deals

by Scott Carmichael on

In my daily deal for today, you’ll find not one, but 24 different bags on clearance.

The lineup includes some of the most popular SwissGear backpacks, rolling cases and messenger bags.

The discounts vary from 60% off, to a whopping 73% off. Some of the highlights of the clearance include this rolling computer briefcase, from $299, for $99 or this red computer backpack for $29.99 (was $100).

All items are over $25, so you can pick free super saver shipping, but if you need it on time for Christmas, I highly recommend upgrading to a paid shipping option.

The bags are a great way to get your hands on a quality piece of luggage, without spending too much. I have several SwissGear bags and they have never let me down.
