Please bring back the Crossover with two wheels. I have the Subterra carryon and I HATE the wheels. They are too small and this makes it very difficult to roll it through the airport and any surfaced area...
If you’re looking for a versatile, well-built backpack that can handle daily work use and travel without compromise, the Subterra 2 is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.
I couldn’t be happier with the Thule Subterra 2 carry-on suitcase—it’s easily one of the best travel investments I’ve made. From the moment you pick it up, you can tell it’s built with quality in mind. The materials feel premium and durable without being overly heavy, which is perfect for frequent travelers who need reliability without sacrificing convenience.
The interior organization is exceptionally well thought out. The compartments make it easy to separate clothes, shoes, and smaller essentials, and everything stays in place even during longer trips. Packing feels more efficient and less stressful, which is a huge win.
What really stands out is how smooth and effortless it is to maneuver. The wheels glide quietly and handle tight spaces like airport aisles and crowded terminals with ease. The telescoping handle feels sturdy and comfortable, with no wobble.
It also has a sleek, modern design that looks professional and stylish—definitely a step up from typical carry-ons. Plus, it fits perfectly in overhead bins, which removes a lot of the usual travel anxiety.
Overall, the Thule Subterra 2 carry-on strikes the perfect balance between functionality, durability, and design. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable and stylish travel companion.
The Subterranean 2 carryon is a perfect bag for running through airports. The wheels are amazingly smooth, the handle adjust effortlessly on the fly and the zippers still closed on an overstuffed bag. The back is solid on the back and the front is like a semi hard shell, giving just enough flex to overstuff but solid in structure. The inside has a nice mesh zipper area and great tie downs on the open side. Comes with a divider bag which is vey useful. Totally worth the money!
For anyone who travels frequently and needs a good size option for carry-on, this bag is awesome. I want to point out how SMOOTHLY the wheels roll on this bag, and since it's a 4-wheeler it can roll upright or leaned. Smooth like 'buttah.' The internal size is adequate for a few days of travel and is spacious. The grab handles surrounding the bag make it easy to get at no matter how it had to get tucked into the overhead. Hopefully if you're lucky and the airlines don't force you to gate check, you'll be able to see how easily it is to lift and fit into the overhead due to it's design. The height of the handles may be a little low if you're taller than 6'3", but let's be honest if you're that tall then any luggage will feel small. The zippers open smoothly and easily, but feel sturdy enough to handle a beating. I've had 4 different Thule bags - backpacks and duffel, and I'd say their fabrics are incredibly durable. They show very little wear and tear over time with no pilling. The smooth fabric also prevents much water from beading up on them, but keep in mind it IS NOT waterproof. You definitely pay for the quality and design on these bags, but coming from someone who's had many other quality pieces from high end luggage, this is a great step up for someone looking for less clutter and cleaner look, but not sacrifice the durability and comfort. Thule for the win.
I absolutely love Thule products, I love the brand, but this product disappointed me a bit so I returned it. The main reason was the zipper - the product is really well made (as usual), but I believe there is a design flaw. The weight of the material on the zipper caused the zipper to skip and catch when opening and closing.
