I just got the ICON 3.0 and it looks great of course. But like most of the other reviewers, the laptop part of the backpack is a little tight. I have a 15.4" notebook and it will not fit thru the side zipper access. But it does fit thru the top and the strap does velcro fully. However, it is very snug and there is little to no protection on top of the backpack for the notebook. My other small complaint is that there are no zipped compartments within the main backpack compartment (or maybe i haven't found it yet...). I have usb keys and prefer a zippered pocket, so unfortunately I have to either put them in the velrco pockets or use the zippered pockets that are on the sides of the pack.

Picked it up in Tan. The shape of this bag fully-loaded will still allow it to fit in most overhead storage bins when flying, even on some of the smaller "regional jets." This is a big "plus" if you're taller than 5' and *need* that space under the seat in front of you for luxuries like your feet. For those who have trouble translating "cubic inches" to actual capacity, here's some perspective: I generally fly for short trips & can comfortably fit a change of clothes (khakis / button-down shirt / T-shirt / shorts / socks) and basic toiletries, along with a book, my laptop, power supply, PDA, cell phone, and a few other small loose items in this pack. Zippers and seams are very durable, Comfort is A+. Good "cool factor" to the look if that matters for you.

This is my second icon pack....this bag rocks...fits my 13" MacBook pro, iPad, yoga mat, shoes perfectly...bag is extremely durable as I travel frequently in and out of airports and job sites. This bag fits all my daily accessories plus tools for work! I highly recommend.

Awesome backpack. Great for school or hiking. Like everyone has said, my 15.4 inch laptop doesn't fit through the side zip slot, which is the only downside to this backpack. Otherwise it has tons of room it and takes a while to explore all of its functions.

Pretty good backpack. Even got mine stolen for a little over a week. The bag was ditched in some bushes and went through a few storms. Most everything was destroyed (so it's not waterproof) but after a washing, the bag was restored to normal. However, the laptop compartment doesn't fit my laptop unless I go through the main compartment...and that's a pretty tight fit. I was also surprised by the lack of room in the pack. A little disappointed. The bag looks pretty cool and it'll get me through these last couple years of college, I'm hoping. Looks like it'll be pretty durable. If you're looking for a good day pack or something for a couple classes, this is the bag...but given the number of books a lot of people are using for class, now, this bag might not cut it...or survive the elements. Lack of room/compartments, no waterproofing...just left a bit to the imagination.

Nice bag, looks crazy, very oakley. I tried the feature where if the nylon material is punctured (i.e. with a pen), the hole would close up! and it worked! crazy. I dont know any other bags that can do that. Got it for about 50% off too. suh-weeeeeet!

best looking backpack!!!very well built!!!6 years and im still looking at it and admiring it.

RED CAMO

I have wanted this backpack ever since it came out and now that i have it i'm not dissapointed! Looks amazing, fits all the necessities and protects my Alienware 15.4' nicely.
Another winner from Oakley

The backpack was great for about three months and then a seam started to rip apart next to the zipper until it spread the whole length of the bag! I just used it to take books to class! Not worth it.

Mine's a 3.0. My laptop's 15.4" so I had to purchase a separate sleeve, since the laptop compartment wouldn't fit. But the Sheet Metal Camo looks awesome. The top grip is super comfortable, and the cell phone compartment on the shoulder strap makes it convenient to pull your phone out when needed. Yes, the front velcro flaps do irritate me some, but overall this is an awesome bag.

Color: Sheet Metal

The classic Oakley pack. I still prefer the industrial look with the understated metal icon compared to the newer military-inspired bags with screen prints and sew-on labels. The padded, fleece-lined shoulder straps are grippy and comfortable, and the main compartment holds a huge amount of stuff. The little side pockets are surprisingly roomy, too. I don't own a laptop, but if I did, I'd really appreciate the padded laptop compartment with the side entry zipper. The velcro closure on the inside has a nifty molded rubber grip with a skull print. I really like the large metal icon on the back panel, but it's hidden when you wear the backpack so it seems like a bit of a waste. I don't really care for the organizer panel, though. It is rather flimsy, and the velcro flaps make access somewhat clumsy. Access to the main compartment takes a bit of effort as well since there are three buckles securing the top flap and a zipper underneath, but it is very secure and well-protected from the elements. One other minor complaint is that the bag doesn't stand well on its own. The shape of the bottom causes it to flop over so that the straps are facing up whether it is empty or full, so you have to hold it up, flip it straps-down, or hang it from something to open it up.

Colour:New Khaki

Nothing at all like its picture on the website. An almost canvas like feel to the sand coloured nylon which engulfs the traditional black panels. Making this the most outstanding colourway in all of the Icon's history. Very SI feel to this although I sense it's smaller than my other 5 Icons.

Like the first Icon pack, this bag is great for everyday use. Its is pretty big and can fin a ton of stuff. There are a ton of pockets on here which makes it pretty versatile. I use it for weekend trips. It can carry small items like my ipod. The big pocket I use for my clothes and then I can fit my portable DVD player in here too. Very nice bag which offers a lot of options.

Awesome Backpack!

I use it daily to store various things like a change of clothes (you never know!).

I have had many compliments. I use to use it for my iBook when I had one.

Plenty of space too!

Color: Black with added small red metal icon sticker

Top notch bag, very durable, has holes to get rid of odors, many compartments, the attention to details is also amazing with inside print in the interior of the bag, the big Metal icon in the back is also a nice touch as well as the laptop compartment.

Comes in great choices of color, but the snow camo looks more like cofee stains in person.

The 3 buckles really gives a feeling that everything is safe in this bag, this bag will last and its made for abuse, not too small but not so big as the Kitchen sink. A good everyday bag.

They are really comfortable and alot of easy to access compartments make them really convenient. It looks really cool carrying them around.

My basis for the low marks is two-folds. 1)The laptop compartment makes me feel like I'm filling up a sausage everytime I place them inside. They are too tight. 2)I used them for over 8 months and the top grip handle gave way. This was a normal wear and tear situation, nothing abusive or forceful. I would expect something of this price to last much longer. Unfortunately, I have to say that these aren't really value for money.

Rugged, comfortable, and no stupid waist flaps. Like that you can put a lot in it, but if empty, it doesn't look deflated. Ballistic Nylon is a nice touch, I have to admit when the Oakley rep shoved a Bic pen through the material and it healed itself, I was sold. Works well in the rain. Best backpack I have Ever owned.

Color: Red Camo
I can't give this a rating yet, as I haven't used it yet. I got it as a freebie from my OPD's manager. It'd been sitting at the store for a long time now, and he wanted it out of the way. Anyway, this guy seems like it's got a ton of room, but the laptop sleeve just barely fits my 15.4" screen Acer. My laptop's dimensions are 14.3x10.5x1.4. The bag seems well built, with the straps made of seemingly high quality materials. I liked the removable sternum strap. However, one thing really bugs me: the red camo parts look pink from the back. with the top flap open, the back of the flap looks pink, rather than the red camo color. What gives?

Color: Yellow
Ok, this is a great bag with a great design, but the short coming is the computer side access is just not quite big enough. I have a 17" monitor on my laptop and it barely fits through the top of the bag, the zipper is pulled taught to get over the corners. If you have a smaller more compact laptop then the laptop spot is great but I will have to stick to my SI computerbag for most trips with the laptop.

Colour:Snow Camo
I love this backpack. It is the best built backpack I have ever owned. I am a university student and am very hard on my bags. This one is the only one that has lasted longer than 3 months and is still going. I dont have a laptop, but the storage compartment is good for expensive textbooks as well. It would be nice if it had a cell phone case though. There is more to this bag then meets the eye. There are many small compartments when you open it up. This is a unique bag that know one else has, but that might be because of the 180 price tag. I would reccomend this bag to anyone especially if you have really heavy books to lug around. The snow camo colour makes the bag look dirty from a distance but it is my favourite colour by far.

Color: Fluoro Green
I picked up a sample of this bag from Oakley (Fluoro Green - avail Spring 06). I love it! So many compartments and the padding is phenomenal. Attach some caribineer keychains to the straps for added effect...

Color: Red
This bag is massive and looks great. You can fit so much in this bag that my mate frequently loses stuff in the various pockets and compartments. As always, everythings adjustable and seems made to last, so it's certainly worth the money.

Color: Red
Got this from an outdoor equipment store in Skagway, Alaska during vacation. Wow, this bag is really everything I've hoped for. I was searching for this bag for a LONG time (mostly due to the newly added compartment for storing a laptop), but no store in Vancouver seems to have it stocked yet (all still Icon Backpack 1.0). My first impression of the bag is that it is extremely durable; there are safety buckles, zippers everywhere. Space is ample inside the numerous zippers, and the straps themselves are very comfortable. Apart from the fairly steep price tag (~190 CND after conversion), there is nothing that I would really gripe about. Really a great backpack.

Color: Black
What can I say? This is a very versatile backpack and your imagination is the limit. Tons of storage in the main compartment, two zippered pockets on each side makes it easy to get to your frequently accessed items. A netted front compartment let's you store your misc. There is an area right next to your back which is completely padded and it fits a standard size laptop (IBM T series), this area can be reached from the main compartment and also through a side zipper. All the buckles are adjustable so you can tighten the backpack to the items inside, so that they don't shift around when you move (this is excellent for motorcycle riding) It also has a sternum strap and a waist strap. I've gone way over 100mph on my bike with this backpack with only sternum strap on and it never felt loose. The shoulder straps and back part are all padded which makes this one comfortable backpack to have on. I do have a recommendation though, go and get the Oakley cell phone case if you plan to keep your phone on the backpack.

A nice upgrade from my kevlar backpack, some changes to the design and the zippers and the molded handle. Best back pack I have ever owned
