Scores

Design - 9.5/10 - Better looking than the Tritton LAN backpack, the Scout Backpack's design makes it both good looking and highly functional. The ultimate LAN bag.

Functionality - 10/10 - With more pockets than a Riley's Pool Hall, the LAN bag effortlessly contains anything you'd hope to take to a LAN event with you, safely. Works great for both games consoles and laptops.

Comfort - 9/10 - Even at capacity, the Scout Backpack feels far lighter than you would think. The weight is distributed well, and the padding makes the backpack easy to carry around, even for large periods of time.

Value - 8/10 - Retailing at £59.95 (≈ €70), the backpack is cheaper than the anticipated release price of Tritton's equivalent. While still a fairly hefty chunk of change, the backpack goes a long way to justifying your investment. A must for LAN goers with a bit of cash spare.

Overall 9.5/10 - The Scout Backpack seems to trump or match its competition in all areas, and is readily available for anyone to purchase, this is the best LAN bag I have seen on the market. Like everything Astro do, the backpack combines extreme functionality with suitable styling making this LAN bag the perfect accompaniment for the modern LAN goer.
