Incase EO Travel Backpack vs The North Face Recon

So, overall I really love using this backpack. I think it's absolutely perfect for three to four days of travel or for a weekend trip where you can fi...

[URL REMOVED] flight from Illinois to Mexico for 5 day trip inspired me to one bag it and post thoughts on my experience with TNF Recon.

Okay: let's get to brass tacks and talk about beer capacity, so we're going to perform the rush faster beer capacity test to show you how much you can...

great great for your glasses if you want to stick your glasses in or your cell phone like I got my note plus in there actually got some good size to i...

the expandable zip starts and ends on the bottom of the bag. To me, the start and end of the zip is the weakest part of the bag, and the expandable zip seems to be a less robust zipper than the other compartments. I feel a bit concerned that \*that\* is the part of the zipper that will constantly be in contact with the ground. The other design flaw is that the deeper clothes storage part of the bag faces downwards (towards your back) as opposed to frontwards (the front compartment)

Decent price too. However, the seam is fraying and there is already a hole on the seam near the zipper. This is after a three day trip on a flight and to/from a hotel with light fill. Disappointing with the quality to have a frayed seam and a hole in 72 hours of light use

One of the major problems with many major manufacturers of luggage stuff like Samsonite who makes excellent rollers and bags is that they're not reall...

The smaller zipped compartment is my biggest gripe and the reason for a four rating. Nothing wrong with its five organization pockets but the section described as a tablet pocket is too small for a regular iPad. If this pocket were just one inch deeper you could easily drop in a tablet with no problems. I normally don’t travel with a laptop so that well padded compartment will have to carry my tablet

I recently went to China where I had to go from Hong Kong to mainland China (via train) and then back again. My roller suitcase was too much of a hassle. I needed to find one bag that could hold my laptop and business items as well as a few days of clothes. I purchased the EO as I saw it had a collapsible compartment designated for clothing as well as compression straps to literally change the size of the backpack

It's you know. it's definitely something that you don't see every day. well at least I don't see every day traveling on a train back and forth in DC A...

The laptop compartment holds my 13 inch macbook pro fine, and I'm sure the 15 inch would fit with more than enough space as well. I also have some notebooks, and papers in that pocket as well with no problem. The lining definitely feels premium, and though not extremely padded on the bottom, I'm sure your laptop would be fine, lest you slam the bag on the ground. The amount of organization is just enough for me, with a few pen holders, and larger pockets to allow for flexibility

- 13" work laptop with small headset, charger and a mouse. My personal laptop is 15" and would like it to fit this for weekend trips/travel. Do not need to carry both at once.

All the good things you've read here, but the inability to secure the shoulder straps when not using it as a backpack makes it a snagging hazard par excellence and annoys me every time I pick it up. Stupid design oversight.

A sternum strap and hip strap off the added stability and load control and the sternum strap also features an emergency whistle. You can also adjust t...

I can fit my 15" MBP and its charger, a slim book, a traveler's notebook and a kindle in it. 7. Love the handles. Very comfortable

It feels really really nice when you guys put it on because it's like very very sturdy and the design of how to make the back tires like it made perfe...
