We all carry things with us on a day to day basis. For some of us it’s as simple as a phone and wallet. For others it might be a combination of laptop, books, tablet, note pads, chargers, and more. And really, things change for weekends, vacations, and overnight getaways.
As part of our summer 2022 product reviews we’ve been highlighting various brands in the bags and backpack space. Up today is Incase, who offers a fairly wide range of options for consumers.
Our team was provided a number of samples of its products, and after spending time with each, we’re happy to recommend them to you.

Toss your wallet in there and rest easy knowing you’ll not fall victim to ne’er-do-well types on the train. Then, feel free to add headphones, a portable charger, cables, a notepad, and any other items you’ll need today.
Grab it by the handle, throw the strap over your shoulder, or wear it as a cross-body bag. We don’t judge. $90
