I bought the Aion 40L backpack to use as my carryon while traveling internationally. It’s a great size… not too heavy when fully packed. I put all my “can’t be without/lose” things like meds, chargers, wallet, passport, phone/tablet, etc in it. It easily fits in the overhead and sometimes under the seat depending on the airline. It has a pocket or space fit everything. It’s well made and very durable. It fits comfortably on my back except I don’t like, need or use the chest strap.
I purchased my bag 3 years ago, and Its still going strong, I use it extensively. For weekend trips and everyday work / Laptop carry. Its duarable, easy to clean. it also keeps my laptop and contentens dry. Its a great all round day back pack.
Plenty of space for clothes and my important items

Verified Purchase:Yes
Just purchased a Thule Aion and used it for my recent short trip. As I live in Hawai’i and enjoy traveling to the mainland and foreign countries such as Japan, Italy, etc. I wanted a big enough backpack that can accommodate jackets, etc. for colder weather so I can wear them as soon as I arrive at my destinations. This backpack has multiple slots and pockets for my iPad, iPhone, chargers, keys, passport, pen, etc. I can easily get them out. I have four other backpacks, but this one is so far the best one for my short and long trips. Would highly recommend it for avid travelers.
I bought this backpack, the Thule’s Aion 40L a few weeks ago and test drove it. Here’s what I found. This backpack meets both the carry-on requirements of both domestic and international overhead bin measurements . It fits nicely on the overhead compartments of Aer Lingus and Delta Airlines on my recent trip to Scotland. It packs nicely with ample room for my clothes for 9 days. You can hold a lot of stuff in this backpack and it’s very comfortable to carry as a backpack. I got the Nutria color and love the waxy look!
I purchased the black/charcoal version. This is a great carry on pack that is versatile and not to much to manage once you reach your destination. The bag has room and depending on how bulky your items are can carry quite a bit but be cautious not to overpack as it will not fit without extreme force in smaller planes overhead. The ONLY thing I would cautious buyers is the look of the bag after use and when you receive it. The texture THULE mentions of having a weathered look if factual and when you use it will get more "weathered". The look is not bad just looks like you have used the bag for multiple trips after your first one. If you expect the bag to have a "fresh" look all the time this is not the bag for you. Durability is excellent, definitely recommend it.
