The colostomy-bag-style helmet compartment at the bottom looksa bit like intestinal prolapse... likely makes it impossible to stand the bag upright on the ground as well. The designers might re-consider things here and move it to top. Everything else looks neat.
Glad I watched this video, found a few pockets i didn't know existed! This pack carries so much gear its ridiculous, however when using the helmet bag and having my jacket in the holder, the girls at work said I look like an ant from a distance.
This is the best review for the ICON Squad II pack that I've seen..trust me I've been looking. It was a toss up between this one and the Alpinestars Tech Aero pack. You really helped me make up my mind. Great job guys and thanks a ton for putting in the time to give us a better look at (imo) the best riding pack on the market! Ordering mine now!
this bag might just cover all the needs i have could u fit motorcycle boots into it along with motorcycle jeans as i have to change into a uniform at work so if i could store my helmet, jacket, boots and riding pants all together that would be great
@Sportbiketrackgear Great video review. Could it stand rain without things inside getting wet? I'm really thinking on buying this backpack. Would an icon variant or other dual sport helmet fit in the bag for the helmet? I have an icon variant and I'm not sure if it would. Thanks in advance!
@F8H It is not waterproof. Perhaps it would be ok in a light rain, not gonna work in a hard rain. As far as the Variant fitting call the team at 1-888-784-4327 and ask them to fit one up for you. Only way to know is to try
I got this bag in the high-visibility lime. I commute, particularly at odd hours, so the all-round visibility is nice. Over my textile jacket, it's practically unnoticeable. Any problems with the top of the vesty-part choking you can be solved by adjusting the straps at the base of the vest.
I am thoroughly, utterly flabbergasted that something this intelligently well-thought-out could come from Icon, but the universe is full of wonder and mystery.

how do you think this would work for snowmobiling and hitting drifts and all that would the snow stick to it or shed off or would it get all soaked

You guys do a great job of reviewing the products, but I need to say one thing.
Can someone please get the reviewer a microphone!! Damn, it is hard to hear what is being said.
Your reviews are complete and concise, it would be great to hear it in better audio.

I plan on getting a bike within the next year but I'm buying this bag today for every use. It looks really versatile and I like the laptop storage.

Is this waterproof? What is the difference between this one and the first Squad Backpack?

It is not waterproof. I am unfamiliar with the Squad pack. Sorry

can you show me what it looks like if you hack your riding jacket on?

That looks like a really good bag I'll have to look more into it when I'm get a bike
I was just wondering what kind of helmet that was thanks.
knightkrawler22 2 years ago
That is my ICON AirFrame Helmet. Seventh Seal to be exact.

I threw away the faggy arm things. This backpack is accepted as an alternative to a vest in a military base so it's kewl I take it to work.

I own this bag, Captain Muscles did a good job presenting this, i learned about 10 new features the bag has. I only needed it to put gym stuff in.
