The one bag you'll ever need!!
on March 3, 2020
Posted by: Travel Mama
Thule had the savvy traveler in mind when they designed this bag! It is so versatile and has a generous amount of room for packing. Can be used with a single strap or backpack option, and the straps can easily clip off or be tucked away if not being used. It is soft enough to give wiggle room in packing, but ridged enough to protect items inside from being crushed. It is an easy fit in the over head on a plane, and doesn't stick out on the sides when walking down the narrow plane isle. There are just the right amount of compartments so everything has a home, but not overwhelming so you forget where you put something. Just took my toddler on a 3 day trip and this was the only bag I brought! It also comes with a soft laptop sleeve that is removeable, but super handy since that has a tidy power cord pocket that is genus for a business traveler. The colorful linings are great too since you can see your stuff when quickly reaching in (unlike a black lined bag that is hard to find what your liking for quickly). I can't say enough about this bag. It is brilliant!!

I was looking for a bag for 1 - 3 days to consolidate clothes, laptop and misc items to avoid multiple bags. It is perfect. Light weight even with laptop and running shoes loaded. Highly recommend for those looking for efficient travel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best bag I ever purchased

I picked this bag up last week. My first Thule purchase. The bag is just amazing for short trips, enough space and compartments. Also looking stylish. I am now looking at the other items in thules product range. For me there is no other choice anymore. Quality, design and style all 5 stars.

I have recently begun traveling a lot for work, mostly weekend trips and needed a new bag solution that was capable and easy to use, while also being more than just another black bag. The red Ember finish caught my eye first, and upon looking further into this bag, I was impressed with all of the features. The utility of a carry-on bag and usability of a backpack, while having enough storage for 3-4 days of travel items makes my work trips a breeze. I love that I have different netted compartments for various things, the option to use the bag in various forms, and also a designated laptop bag & compartment to make work on the road easy. I absolutely love the quality and usability. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Lightweight, functional, many pockets, laptop sit nicely inside. It’s a bit too big. Because I am a short person.
Simple look. Just love it.

Just traveled using this bag and we are so excited to get the matching roller suitcase. We love the versatility this bag provides as a duffle bag and a backpack. There are so many engineered features that we didn't even know we needed but now use and enjoy. I recommend this for anyone who travels frequently. There is enough room to bring all your work related belongings as well as some extra clothes that might not fit in your suitcase or as an alternative to a carry on suitcase!
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's a good bag, but a terrible backpack
on March 3, 2020

This is an OK bag, and only a few oversights are keeping it from being great. Thicker backpack straps with a mesh foam back cushion would make it truly usable as a backpack.
The mesh "lid" in the main compartment should have its zipper direction reversed, so that the inside could be reached from the top without split opening the whole bag, when in backpack mode.
It would be better to move the main zipper more to the front of the bag, so that the bulk of the bag is solidly attached to the rear and only a thin lid in the front opens up. This would also allow the bag to split open without undoing the backpack straps AND enable another spot for a small pocket for various items on the top (fleece lined sunglass pocket for example). Furthermore, this would allow the opening of the bag when its placed on its back on the ground instead of front down, as it is now.
Currently the two only pockets will generally be occupied by clothes/shoes and a liquid baggy for airport security checks, leaving no empty easy access pockets for a water bottle, umbrella or anything else picked up on the way. The main compartment also needs tie down straps.
With Thule it seems that you pay for the quality, rather than the feature set. The straps are solidly sewn onto nylon webbing, all zippers and seams are done well, the bag really feels like a quality item. But really basic oversights, like no tie down straps in the main compartment, no simple pocket for extra stuff picked up along the way (i.e. water bottles) make you really question if it's worth the high price.

Would I recommend this as a simple grown up shoulder bag? Yes. Would I recommend it as a feature rich bag/backpack combo for everyone? No

Great Product!

I chose this as a carry on for long trips to ensure that I have at least a set of of clothes to change in, for cases when flights get diverted, or cancelled and have no access to my check in luggage. The laptop sleeve that you can detach was a bonus for me, specially for 1 2 day trips wherein now i no longer have a laptop bag/knapsack and my luggage to carry but just one bag.
he knapsack "mode" is quite useful, but make no mistake its not really a knapsack (e.g. ergonomics, water pocket) but it still gets the job done.
