Who makes the best LAN backpack? After Emotion gave Tritton's LAN backpack a glaring review, we became incredibly interested in how an Astro LAN backpack would fair in comparison. So who is the king of the LAN bag world? Retailing at £59.95, the Astro Scout Backpack is both cheaper and more readily available than Tritton's offering, however, does the difference in price also mean a difference in quality? Find out below. 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.

Good review mate, would be nice to see confirmation after the next LAN you attend to see if it's actually any good in practice. p.s nice napoleon dynamite poster.
I saw Chris using this at replay in blackpool and probably the biggest benefit of this bag is that doesn't look like a "gaming" bag, more just a multi-functional and well designed bag; as opposed to the Tritton bag that looks a bit too funky for me.
if their more frequent lans id buy it but seems pretty pointless atm does look sick though, good review
I'm a bit conscious that this is the longest backpack review ever, but to be fair, there's a lot of backpack to review.
After watching that and hearing the word backpack that many times it doesn't even sound like a real word anymore. B-a-c-k-p-a-c-k.
"it pretty much serves all my needs, well... as much as a backpack would of course" LMAO, good review
the photo looks like a modern assassins creed, LANS need to be more of a common thing for me to consider buying one of these
I was thinking of getting this for ecl2, but then I would have to get another bag for my clothes and then the box for my monitor if I'm bringing it, so then I thought I'd just get the mission bag as I can put my clothes in it also so I would only have it and a box to carry, but would I get the mission bag on as hand luggage on easyjet/ryanair? As I don't want a bunch of idiots throwing my Xbox about.
