[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Thule backpack is made of very sturdy material. It is high-quality fabric, and the stitching and zippers on. It are very well constructed. My daughter claimed it immediately for using this school year. She loves that the inside pocket is deep and wide enough that she can fit her entire chrome book case in it, as well as many folders and pencil cases. It has numerous side zippers for holding things like water, bottles or anything else. You can cram in there. The straps are very sturdy and she says they are very comfortable on her shoulders and can support a lot of weight within the backpack. This will also make a great backpack when we travel that we can stuff full of things as a carry-on, and to the airplane.

I’m really pleased with my backpack, it’s comfortable, the materials are really high quality, the size perfect to carry my laptop and gym gear (shoes/clothes), the look is just amazing!

I've been using this bag to commute to and from work by bike. The bag feels secure with minimal bouncing while I ride and I love all of the pockets to store my laptop in a padded pocket, my laptop charger extra clothes in mesh pockets, and my bike lock and shoes in the very front, expandable pocket. I haven't needed to use the waterproof cover yet but thankful this bag comes with that and it is not sold separately like the smaller version. I wish the flap in the front was able to be secured in some way because I can sometimes feel it flapping as I ride.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is super sturdy and excellent for electronics. The sections are well padded to protect them. Fits a lot of stuff, which can make it heavy, but the straps and back are very comfortable.

This might be the most comfortable backpack I've ever owned. I like the organization a lot, though I wish there was 1 side zipper that gave you access to the outter most front pocket, without having to unfasten the flap. I really like the size of this bag. It's perfect for work or as a weekend travel bag.

It is THE best all around back pack I use everyday. It has the right durable materials, proportion of storage, location of storage, the rain cover is the icing on the cake. Just a perfect backpack and I liked it so much I got another one as a gift to share the enjoyment of owning it. Timeless design and quality construction to be used for many years.

This is my second Thule backpack. I absolutely love them. This is the new Paramount and it is great. Plenty of room for laptop, ipad, and other stuff I use daily. I travel 3/4 weeks a month with over 130 flights a year and this bag is perfect for traveling. Two minor things, the front clasp takes a bit to break in and can become tough to open or close. Second, the side water bottle holder is so large than sometimes the water bottles slip out. 10/10 would buy again.

I like the mobile pocket for cycling and the reflective cover.
The chest strap and padding are great- it is the most comfortable cycling/commuting backpack I've ever used.
I haven't figured out how to use the front pocket for the hemlmet yet.

I’ve just purchased the first of what will certainly be multiple Thule backpacks. I am beginning a new job and needed a backpack that will look professional when I have meetings following travel. This bag is beautifully organized with direct access to my computer as well as plenty of pockets for all the other work & travel necessities. The exterior is thick, the bottom is reinforced and the bag fits comfortably and doesn’t make my back sweat, On a day off I went for a couple hour hike and took the bag with me and was happy everything inside stayed dry.

My only concern is that for longer trips I will probably need more room, That’s OK, I’ll get something a bit bigger too. In total I’ve used the bag on three trips so far and each time people asked about the bag because they didn’t know Thule made bags or just to compliment the look.

I’ve been using for my bike commute. Love the separate pockets for laptop and other items. I don’t find the phone pocket to be very useful especially when a water bottle is in the sleeve next to it. I’ve been stashing odds and ends in their instead. I love this backpack, but the only issue is it’s a tad long for me and sits awkward on my back. I’m 5’9 so I feel like anyone shorter will have an issue with the fit as well. Otherwise it’s a great pack and I will continue to use!
