Have a lot of stuff to haul to and from the office? The Incase Icon Backpack has seemingly endless pockets hidden in a sleek design, making it an ideal backpack for work that won't overburden.
As any freelancer on their way to make the local coffee shop their office for the day will tell you, nothing beats a backpack with lots of pockets. The Incase Icon Pack is basically the clown car of everyday backpacks. It has 21 compartments!
There are multiple zippered sections inside the can hold countless items, including a middle section large enough to fit a laptop, tablet, and other gadgets. You can store your electronics separately from any food or liquids that you don't want to spill and possibly ruin them. The pack is "tech-optimized," according to the brand, with individual pockets sized to fit your devices.
"The Incase Icon manages to fit an almost absurd amount of organization and storage into a bag that maintains the clean lines of a more refined backpack," says The Wirecutter, which lists this bag as a top pick.
The backpack has also been featured by Fast Company and Forbes, and we've reviewed it here at Insider Picks.
"The pack itself is compact and slender, but holds everything my (much bigger) model did before it," writes our reporter Mara Leighton about the brand's smaller version, the Icon Lite.
Note: The model we are featuring is an older version. However, it's very similar to the newest model, and we think it's a great buy while you can still get it.
Pros: Ample storage space, padded pocket for laptop, sleek no-frills design, comes in a smaller "Lite" size
Cons: Bulkier than other options, additional storage might not be necessary for the average commuter
