Great daily use and travel backpack. I’m a finance officer and I have a laptop and iPad with me 24/7. AirPods fit in the back small pocket. I don’t feel like the laptop is about to be crushed if I bend over to pick something up like I have with other backpacks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this last month and did not expect it to be this good. The bag is super spacious for carrying everything that I need for my college and gym, including laptop, change of clothes, shoes and my meals for the day. A lot of other bags in this segment do not have an outside bottle holder, but this one does. The build quality is simply superb. I'm so happy I bought this.

I carry a backpack 6 days a week due to my commute. Typically go through a bag every 3 years. This is my first Thule Backpack and I love it. It will also double as a great carryon bag.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Very thoughtfully constructed with both traveling and everyday use. Big side pocket for water bottles, perfectly placed zipper compartments - like for passports, wallets that is easily accessible. The strap on the back to slip over the handle of luggage is a plus.

Needs more padding in shoulder straps!

Wanted to love this bag, but unfortunately the harness. system is quite uncomfortable. I like more padding in the straps. Had to return bag to REI. I recently purchased a PAKT bag returned for same reason, lack of padding. Perhaps, if I were much younger it would be fine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this backpack as it checks all the boxes of what I was looking for:
-padded laptop compartment, easily accessible
-looks good and high-quality build
-spacious interior with enough room to be an overnighter, but small enough to be a daily carry - the expansion zipper really helps strike this balance.
-comfortable/ergonomic
-expandable water bottle pocket
-well sized/appointed accessories pocket

It is so comfortable on my shoulders and back - it was easy for me to carry along our recent adventures! The different pockets also made it easy to stay organized while traveling, which I love. So happy with this bag!

I've been using the Thule Aion Backpack for a few weeks now. I purchased this for international travel and wanted a bag with all these features and the ability to fit under the plane seat. Currently I am using it for every day work travel and it has not disappointed. The backpack is comfortable, functional and I have no worries about it. I am glad I did the research and this bag has all the features that any traveler would want and the bonus of it being comfortable to carry. Hands down the best backpack I have purchased.
I would recommend this to a friend!
