Oakley Men's Icon Pack

I have gone through 5 of these models in 12 years. They are amazing for one reason alone: THEY HOLD MORE STUFF THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. It's like that circus act with the clowns pouring out of a mini-car. Contrary to the prior reviewers opinion, they are incredibly strong. However, on the other points, the criticism is warranted. They are not water-proof, and because they can hold so much, you can easily forget what 40lbs. on your back feels like in 30+minutes. AND, my one gripe: I have been known to call it "the Black Hole" because once it enters, it sometimes never returns. There is no compartmentalization, just a vast, yawning pit. I can think of too many times when, in a rush, I have simply unzipped it all the way and dumped everything out in a fury. Thus my headline. A great bag, patience not included. 5 in 12 years may sound like they are not well made, but I beat them brutally. You'd never know it though, because (they'll NEVER tell you this) you can throw it into the washing machine (front loaders, NOT an agitator) and air dry and it will look brand new.

good if you carry loads and bad if you carry few things. the handphone pouch velcro seems to run out quickly. but it is really a heaven sent when you get big and heavy stuff. Looking at the kitchen sink now.

Buy Oakley Men's Icon Pack Now

I tote a laptop, notebook, and 2 tablets to work DAILY. This pack does the trick. I havent had a single issue with it. I will say that it is a tight fit for a 15 inch laptop but is possible. Even with the bigger more square looking 15 inch laptops. Pockets for all your stuff, you will have plenty of room and no issues with the backpack coming apart.

I Love the backpack, it has tons of pockets, it is lightweight, and stylish. Love the side zipper for easy access to a laptop.

Want Oakley Men's Icon Pack Discount?

I decided to buy the Icon pack because I needed a big backpack to take me from work to gym easily and girl backpacks are just plain ridiculous. They're not meant to hold up anything substantial. So I went looking for men's backpacks.

This pack is now a staple for me. It fits my 14.1 inch laptop snugly (and I mean snug). I'm not so sure how a 15 inch laptop could fit in the compartment. It takes abit of tugging to get my laptop out of the side compartment. The pockets are convenient and roomy, absolutely perfect for hauling all my gym gear, including my sneakers.

What struck me about this bag is how light my laptop + gym gear feels on my shoulders and back. The frame of the backpack distributes the weight so evenly, it's a breeze to carry my stuff. When it's just my laptop and I don't have any gym gear in the bag, I hardly notice that I'm carrying anything. I like the padded shoulder straps and back which are so wide, and of course, the colours are great.

One thing worries me though: how thin the fabric seems to be. I'd think you'd expect to get thicker, maybe sturdier fabric around the sides and bottom of the backpack when it's an Oakley, but that doesn't seem to be the case. When I received the bag, I was a little surprised that the fabric is this thin around the sides. Having read the other reviews, it does seem that if i continue abusing my backpack, it'll rip.

I'd probably recommend you not to get the pack unless you don't carry such heavy stuff everyday it looks too flimsy if you're thinking of carrying thick textbooks and a laptop with battery and charger everyday. I carry my gym gear on alternate days, so it's holding up good at the moment.
