## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Innovative and highly functional design with well-thought organization pockets.
-   Insulated side pockets that will keep your drinks cold or hot.
-   One of the most versatile bags on the market. It can turn into a daypack, messenger bag, or duffel bag according to your needs.
-   Can fit a lot of things because of its high volume capacity. It is also available in 60L.

### Things to consider

-   Lacks a waist strap which would be really helpful when the load is heavy.
-   The top pocket can be hard to use when the pack is fully loaded.

## What reviewers said

-   "I was not ready for how many different pockets and compartments this backpack had. When I was first playing around with it I was thought to myself, "you can literally lose something in this backpack with all the compartments!" And this is a good thing! I feel confident that I can travel with this or take it to one of my Obstacle Course Races..."
-   "I was skeptical at first because I love my north face backpack. However, after 12 years of use, I decided to switch mainly for the appeal of this bag's versatility. My goodness, this backpack blows my mind away. The versatility is a strong point but the build is pure quality. I even get compliments from coworkers."

## Reviews from around the web

**HYLETE ICON 6-IN-1 BACKPACK REVIEW \[TRAVEL GEAR REVIEW\]**
[loopholetravel.com](https://loopholetravel.com/2017/06/19/hylete-icon-6-in-1-backpack-review/)

> It is an ideal bag for work travel, given its many forms and functions. I packed everything I needed for the trip in the 25L backpack. Once at the hotel, I unpacked and separated the duffel and daypack. The duffel served as my gym bag, complete with insulated pockets for cold drinks and a separate space for sweaty clothing. The daypack and messenger bag served as my work bag to carry my computer and essentials to the job assignment. At the end of the trip, I simply zipped everything back together, pulled out the 15L extension and stuffed my dirty laundry in there for the return trip.
