Our take on the High Sierra Loop Backpack

The High Sierra Loop is a 33-liter polyester backpack with a dedicated laptop sleeve, a tablet sleeve, an internal organizer and key fob hook, and water-resistant fabric. It weighs about 925 g and measures 19 by 13.5 by 8.5 inches, so it covers school, commuting and light hiking in one bag. The best new price is $16.24 at Mercari as of November 3, 2026, with 8 stores listing it new. At that price it sits at the low end of what this bag typically sells for, well below its usual mid-$30s to $50 street price.

Questions and answers

Is the High Sierra Loop worth it?
Yes, at $16.24 at Mercari as of November 3, 2026, it is a lot of bag for the money. It suits everyday school, work and travel use rather than rugged backcountry trips.
How does it compare with the High Sierra Swerve?
The Swerve is a larger 34-liter pack with a similar layout but more padding and a sturdier build. The Loop is lighter and cheaper, so pick it if budget and weight matter more than cushioning.
