Select contributor Kevin Cortez called this tote bag from Incase his “ultimate carryall for my commuting needs.” He likes the “minimalist” design and large capacity of 23 liters. The tote, which has a padded pocket for protecting your laptop, can fit his 15-inch Macbook, phone chargers, three notebooks, a novel, water bottle, phone, wallet, snacks and a deodorant stick.
