The reviewer reports that the Incase A.R.C. Travel Pack handles light rain, but its interior became damp after thirty minutes of steady rainfall. Ortholite foam in the shoulder straps and back panel provides substantial cushioning, comfortable carrying, and additional protection around the laptop compartment. The main compartment zipper works smoothly but feels undersized and awkward because it travels around the butterfly opening and requires maneuvering around straps.
The top quick-access compartment fits most phones horizontally and accommodates headphones, but its limited height restricts larger items. The shoe compartment fits larger athletic shoes, though its non-waterproof material requires wet footwear to be bagged or dried beforehand.
