Solid commute / daily work pack
on March 3, 2020
Posted by: The Hat Guy
I bought this bag to replace my daily messenger bag. I found myself travelling frequently and having to move items from my messenger to my backpack was inconvenient. However, I needed a bag that had lots of organization, clever pockets for access, laptop safety, comfortable to handle day travel, adequate room to store goods, and lastly look discrete enough to not be a "loud" statement. This bag checked off all the above. I have only a few things that are minor personal preferences I'd prefer more. The bag is incredibly stiff, which does does require a little more heft getting into them. The roll top buckles are almost too strong and hard to click into place on the fly. Not that I don't appreciate the quality of them as they are bomber, but they are difficult to push into place. The stiffness of the bag also leads to making some of the pockets seem smaller than they are as the rigidness keeps them from expanding to their full capacity however, over time the bag will probably work in a bit. These again are minor things as the bag is still so new I can't compare it to the years of work I gave my other bags. One of the most clever features, that I use to pack my lunch into is the camera compartment. I LOVE THAT. When I'm traveling it is my shoe/jacket compartment for easy grab and go. The bag is clearly durable, zippers and clips are strong, and the straps are very adjustable and comfortable. Would I recommend this bag? Absolutely! Not to mention Thule's excellent customer service was worth noting as well.

Best option on the market

As a traveling videographer using primarily DSLR and mirrorless cameras to document arts events, I've tried every type of bag to bring a small kit of equipment to a gig. This is the only one I will continue to buy for myself and my team. The modularity isn't a gimmick. It's an essential feature that I use all the time. There's also a hidden essential feature of the Covert if one travels with a camera through airports: it's a discreet bag that doesn't scream, "this bag contains a camera!" In other words, it lives up to its name of being "Covert." I also travel with Pelicans and I find myself getting a lot of glances from strangers who know that whatever is in a Pelican is valuable. With this bag, neither my fellow travelers nor TSA/customs are curious about the contents. I can blend in with the other tourists and get straight to work! The only thing to be careful of is not to overstuff the laptop sleeve and stress the zippers. I tend to carry my 15" laptop, iPad Pro, and lots of paper documents in that sleeve and the stress on the zipper causes failure. But that's my bad!

I love this pack, I will never own another one! I have dunked it in rivers, splashed it in the ocean, used it for university, taken it fishing/hiking/kayaking/boating. Unreal.

Awesome bag!

I got this bag and was super stoked to use it. When I investigated I noticed that the male end of the buckles on top were warped so much that the buckle didn't fully clip together. Huge thanks to the warranty department. They sent out a replacement bag right away!

Lasting quality, smart design

Can't remember how long ago I bought this bag for travel/camera/lens protection and so whilst now looking for a large checked luggage bag I was amused to see it's still a valid member of the Thule range. No reason not to as it's a beast! Totally overbuilt. I like to buy what you could say "heirloom quality" items rather than constantly replacing slightly cheaper (lower value) items and this fits the bill. Its been around the world many times, soaked on motorbike trips, banged about and honestly still looks near new. Not much wear and tear for its age, it can't die! Takes my Rains raincoat beneath the camera puch, SLR lenses, loads of film, 15" macbook pro, few magazines, hard drives & charging cables, headphones, travel wallet plus water bottle and spare clothes. When not carrying camera equipment I unzip the separation pouch and you can stash clothes for days.
