Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is one of the best all around use backpacks I’ve bought. Solid stitching, nice grip (not flimsy) or plastic looking like other bags made of 100% recycle and you can feel how sturdy glass compartment is. Blue tray is removable for other functions. The mini accessory helped me organize and have a quick grab and go, so I’m never forgetting a charger.

This is my two-year long-term review of the backpack I purchased on July 22, 2022. I've been using it daily for 23 months, traveling 75% of the time. After my previous backpack's shoulder strap broke on a trip to Jacksonville, Florida, I bought this one, and it has since accompanied me on six flights a month, every month, across 46 states and seven countries. The materials are top-notch, as shown in the photos where the pack looks almost new despite the heavy use. The only drawback is the lack of bottom protection for the laptop compartment and the pack overall. I wish they would design a rubber insert to better protect that area or perhaps the entire pack. One of the great features is that this backpack doesn't attract or retain odors and shows excellent resistance to discoloration, even when using disinfecting sprays like Lysol periodically. I plan to continue using it until next year before looking for an upgrade, primarily for better laptop protection or more volume. However, I'll likely return to Thule due to the overwhelmingly positive experience I've had with this backpack.

I actually pur based this for hiking. I noticed it was semi hard for keeping things safe from breaking ot high impact. Surprising I managed to hike 7 miles and my shoulders didnt feel stressed like they feel when I use my hiking backpack. Overall.. great buy..

Very durable and functional. It large enough to carry all essentials and still fits underneath plane seats with ease.

Very nice and confortable good price I would definitely buy another one again, it has the compartments I need.

Quick back story how I got this was when I asked my wife to have a quick visit at Bestbuy. I didn’t know that they also sells backpack back then, so I’m a bit surprised. Anyway, going back to the story, I initially didn’t like this backpack for one reason, the ‘Thule’ branding for me is huge. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate it but for a minimalist guy like me, I’m not a fan. I was choosing between two backpack from a different brand. If the other backpack has a black color I would definitely end up buying it because of the look, price, and quality. The other one is a bit pricey that’s why I ended up buying the Thule backpack. This is just an initial review because I haven’t really used this backpack that much because I intended to use it this coming Spring 2024 semester but here are some PROs and CONs: PROs: - Aesthetic-wise, this backpack looks pretty good (except the branding on the backpack). Black color is my bias, so yeah, this one looks great; - Craftsmanship is good but then again I have to test this in the coming weeks to see if it can hold through time; - I really like the mesh cloth for the water bottle; - There’s a removable hard shell for sunglasses/eyeglasses, which is nice; - Aquamarine color for the material used inside the backpack which makes it more easier to see your valuables inside the bag; - The straps were designed in a comfortable manner. There’s tiny holes covered with mesh cloth to make it more breathable for your side chest; - I like the chest straps making it more secure for a long commute; - I can use this for school, work, and urban travel; - and of course, there’s a freebie Thule pouch for your cables and other things. CONs - This is just a personal liking, would be better if they just put the branding on the straps and that’s it; - It would be nice if they have a strap on the side for tall water bottles to make it more secured; - More breathable cushion for the back; That’s it for now. I’ll be writing more after couple of months. Disclaimer: This review is based on my personal experience and perspective.

Really good backpack that is really ergonomic for my back along a solid little bag an pouch. Would recommend for school

The vibe I get from this backpack is videographer, ski trip, urban techie, or minimalist traveler. (Not a college kid) The exterior is made from an extra thick material, which makes me feel like I can be more rugged with it. But it also has a sleek urban look to it and I can take it into business meetings. It's pretty lightweight, and the inside pockets are practical. I can put a laptop, tablet, phone, and charger, into specific slots and never worry if they are going to bounce around. The hard shell pocket is nice for sunglasses or things you don't want crushed. My only downside is the rigid structure of the bag means it is not good for folding up or flattening.

I like the general design of the bag and and some of the features. The safe zone that gives you some protection for fragile items is nice. There is a middle pocket that can be handy but not super useful since it's hard to access. The biggest downfall is the zipper mine broke after 6 weeks. They generally haven't felt very durable, and that's proven to hold true.

The second day I used it I noticed the strap tearing. I have contacted Thule, but have not received any answer or help.

Very durable! Water resistant! and Comfortable on my shoulder! I believe due to the wide straps, tall profile of the backpack (instead is short and wide) so distributing the weight better while keeping the backpack closer to my back. I normally have 1 15” laptop, 1 iPad, 2 medium textbooks, 1 small textbook, 1” binder, came to about 20lbs, and it’s still comfortable to wear around campus all day! And I love the top compartment! It has a hard outer layer so it protects my sunglasses from getting crushed.

Thule wins always. Just like Spigen. This backpack is exceptionally well made, comfortable to wear, durable, and rugged, all while looking so sleek and sexy. My one complaint is that the front pocket doesn't open all the way, it's like a half-moon shape so if you're putting a larger back than the included accessory bag in there it is kinda tight, you get used to it. I'll tell you what, you can put a ton of stuff in it and it maintains its small shape, which I'm in love with.

Protects my laptop, it flew across my car with a 16in MacBook and my computer was completely fine. It fits a lot. I can fit, iPad 12.9, 16in MacBook, 16in Business Laptop, Mouse, 140w charger, cables, cell phone, anger portable battery, headphones in a hardshell case, toolkit. Would recommend, just like most of the things in their brand.

I love the backpack. It’s very well-made, sturdy, with strong stitching. It’s compact, yet roomy to fit a laptop, iPad, and a jacket at the same time. I like that it is aerodynamic for use on motorcycle rides. It has padding all around, a shell protector in the small pocket to keep your phone and sunglasses case safe. I especially love the stap across the chest that snaps on easily and keeps the backpack close to the body.

I love this backpack. It is very comfortable and fits everything I need in it - Macbook Pro, iPad, and tons of chords/cables. I also like the hard top compartment because I can put things in there that need protected. It's very ergonomic and has a good shape to it. It just looks good and has . More importantly it fits good on my back. It even sits up nicely and doesn't tip over when you set it down and don't rest it on anything.

I have now had this item four months and it has been really put to the test during this time. When I saw it in the store I thought it seemed like it was pretty rugged and is it ever. I never fear of the zippers breaking because I packed it too full it can stretch and accommodate any item i put into it. It is a 10/10 in my opinion and performs like a very high end pieve of luggage. The compartments are pkentiful and they are good siize. i can carry a 15 inch laptop and ipad with charging cables and other accessories. It has a crush-proof compartment great for my Ray Bans - they never get bent. I cannot say enough good about this Thule bag.

Backpack is of the highest quality, although it can be scratched fairly easily and it does not look appealing after. Great amount of pockets and useable space.

What a great bag. So versatile, roomy for my needs and modern . What more could I ask for? I bought this as open box and am just so pleased. Absolutely as described. I took my time deciding and this was worth the extra effort. Two points really sold me on this bag. 1. The inside is a bright blue, which really helps me in organization and challenging lighting conditions. 2. The zippered hard cased pocket on the top. I'm very excited about this to protect my phone and sunglasses. I discovered a nice little pocket that isn't obvious, underneath this feature. Pull out the hard part partially, revealing a slot with a velcro piece to hold something in place. Passport? Keys? Wants for future design - key leash with clip. Nice and rugged, as you expect from Thule. The bonus of the small zippered pouch for accessories, earbuds, cables, whatever, is a very cool organizer for these items. I love that it isn't overly large and really suits my needs and desire to protect my 15 inch Microsoft Surface, Kindle and anything else. Plenty of room for water, jacket, or anything else to make a smooth and successful day. I'm also taken with how understated this bag is, in unassuming black and smooth outside and not full of dangling pieces or never used pockets to get caught on something as I'm going about my day.

So far, cant complain only been about 1 month but can happily say it fits my meta ai ray ban glasses with case along with my razer headphones & mouse. Originally obtained for my gigabyte master laptop but recently replaced with my new area 51 laptop (still 16inch) fits very nicely with all its power cords. Should straps leave little to be desired, adjustable and comfortable granted i wouldnt take this bag hiking of prolong outtings- it has proven to be weather RESISTANT and thats a huge plus for oregon. Cant wait for more from this company as they seem to be on a great slue of products that easily combine and mesh together for ease of traveling and use. Much love from me. Already recommended to my brother and 2 co workers!

After looking at different backpacks. I went with this one, for mainly travel. I can fit everything I need for a flight. A sweater, laptop, pens, books, switch, and small personal items. The extra sleeve I use to for my chargers on trips, which does wonders. It has a good small design, but still can hold a lot.
