Incase ICON Backpack 23L review

The Incase ICON Backpack 23L is Incase's top everyday pack, which the brand calls its most organized everyday backpack. Incase says it is built to organize, protect and carry a MacBook and essentials, with multiple compartments, adjustable padded shoulder straps and a cable port that gives on-the-go access to portable power or audio. That cable port is useful for a student who keeps a power bank inside the bag and charges a phone during a commute. Capacity is 23L. At $199.99 with free US shipping and 30 day returns, it costs twice as much as the Incase City Backpack and more than the Thule packs, and the product text we could read does not list the maximum laptop size, the weight or the fabric. That makes it hard to justify over better documented options unless you want its compartments. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bag.
