I purchased this pack in 2014 and it has been my main work and travel bag since. It's built like a tank and perfectly designed. I can't believe they still sell this pack exactly as it was that long ago... actually, I guess I can believe it.

About the only part of the bag that's starting to come apart is the bottle holder. Yet it still functions, just looks beaten.

Love this pack. I'd buy it again. The only difference is after all these years it costs twice as much!

Been using the Subterra 25L backpack for a couple weeks, and I love it.

Lots of features: fully expandable, easy access laptop zipper, lots of different pockets for clean organization, crush proof pouch is great for sunglasses and other vulnerable items. The full length inside zipper lets you easily access anything way at the bottom of the bag (all backpacks should have this). The top folding flap is adjustable so you can make the bag super compact or fully loaded. Material looks and feels high quality. Overall, the backpack is modern, stylish, comfortable and completely adaptable to whatever you need it for.

Minor downsides: two front buckles can be tedious to open and close repeatedly. The chest cross-strap could be longer for those with a wider chest.

By far one of the best backpacks I've had. I'm big on functionality and utility and this pack has a place for everything! The side access pockets are great for getting in & out of your bag quickly. The front pocket is big enough for a large women's wallet. The straps are wide and comfortable. I work out of my bag and this bag is like taking a well organized desk with you!

Absolutely love it! It's light and can hold a lot of things. I travel a lot for work between cities and it's perfect for clothing, toiletries, my Mac and gadgets.

I cannot sing enough praise for this bag! I am 5'5 and petite. As a college student in a very rainy, tropical climate, I love how this bag is waterproof. In fact, it proved itself the day I purchased it! Quick dried in about 15 minutes!

My major requires me to carry some small, valuable equipment including a glorified USB drive and a MacBook. The lap top pocket protects my MacBook with ease, and I don't have to worry about it being scratched or banged up. The no crush pocket allows me to safely store my USB drives, sunglasses, snacks/candy, and anything else I don't want to risk being smashed.

The zippered pocket behind the folding Velcro one on the front is the perfect size for my two composition notebooks. The largest pocket holds my large binder and all of my books, which is great because I have one day a week where I must take them all.

I love the zippered pocket on the inside for safe keeping of any valuables. My student ID and writing utensils fit perfect in the pocket under the buckled section.

Any student would benefit from using this bag! The style is modern and minimalist.

As someone with scoliosis, I need well padded straps and backpacks that distribute weight well. I have over 30 pounds of weight in my bag all the time, and I barely even notice it. The added chest buckle on the shoulder straps bumps the comfort level! I like how it keeps the bag in place, even when I bend down.

Bottom line, if you're reading this, purchase the bag!

This backpack is so wonderfully designed for people who like pockets and organization. Nothing on the market compares. Mine is over a decade old too and still in the good use. The only thing is the side mesh pocket for a water bottle has torn. But that’s normal wear and tear, I believe. I would buy it again.

Just received my green version a week or so ago. My old laptop backpack was much bigger and I travel a lot and wanted something smaller, that would still hold all my gear. This is a great size and holds my MacBook Pro 15inch with cover, iPad Pro 12 Inch with cover and keyboard case, all adapters and many other supplies. Love the side zippers including the laptop compartment zipper to make it easier at TSA security in airports. So far, feels very good when being carried and I am a long time Thule fan with luggage and bike racks all front them. I highly recommend this as a mid sized backpack to travel with.

This daypack is by far the most versatile pack I have ever owned. After getting it for a recent family trip to Colorado, it proved to me that it is perfect to be used on a hike, as a carry on, to carry your laptop and work gear and it was even used to replace our diaper bag on occasion! The compartments and the comfort of the straps make this daypack a winner for any task. Couldn't be happier!

This is my second Thule bag in about 10 years at least. My first one lasted a very long time and while I still have it, it's too beat up for work. I bought this one as a replacement and am very pleased. I need to be able to organize things where I can find them quickly, in a bag that takes up a minimum of space. This bag does both tasks well. I love the protected sunglasses pocket; its good for those small items I don't want broken. It's also quick and easy to remove items for the TSA when I travel or tuck under a seat on the plane.

A place for everything and everything in it's place. Perfect carry-on pack!
