It is very similar to the original Icon backpack except for the embroidered logo instead of metal ones in the stock photo. It also have no dedicated laptop compartment, no side zipper access. The only tag I have on the bag is that it was made in Korea.

Thanks mate.
When you say 'It is very similar to the original Icon backpack ...' do you mean its a replica? I asked because last time I went home, I was able to purchase a similar bag with embroidered logo (below pic) for 30 GBP. Same as how you described it with the compartment, tags and all...
...but when I checked it on O-review after I paid for it I can't find it. The one they have on there of the same color has the metal Icon. I checked the forum and saw @ChinoTJ 's which is below...
.......then I saw yours. Just wondering if what I got is legit coz it does look well made and sturdy with the materials they used and they do looked very similar except from the outside the buckles are a stand out and the O Icon.
Also, after snooping around the interweb (mostly sales thread so unreliable), I read that the Gen 1 Icon bag do not have the Laptop compartment and was only introduced on the 2nd Gen. Any truths on this claim?
I really like the size and its really comfortable but I had my doubts if it was legit when it arrived. When I left to go back to the Desert, I just left it back in the UK on my storage room. Just wondering if its worth to keep or just sell on?
Thanks again for your time.
