Thule Alltrail X 35L Pack

Thule EnRoute 20L: Wonderful fit for my Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark II micro 4/3 camera body + 12-100mm F4.0 PRO lens (24-200mm 35mm equiv.). I removed the useless (to me) Thule dividers and place the camera + lens sideways in the camera box compartment. It fits nicely with quick side access. A larger full-frame body + lens would probably be tight with anything other than a short to medium prime lens or similar. The 20L Thule additionally fits my thin MacBook Air M2 13" laptop and the space above the camera box holds a light jacket and my 7-14mm F2.8 PRO micro 4/3 lens (14-28mm 35mm equiv.) wrapped in the jacket - but I often carry just the 12-100mm. The vertical side opening is meant to carry a tripod but it fits my water bottle instead. With IBIS + in-lens IS I can hand-hold my shots without a tripod even at slower shutter speeds. The smaller compartment up top will fit a phone, extra camera batteries, energy bars, sunglasses, etc. The compartment cover is somewhat rigid so the contents are well protected. The straps are comfortable and the compact 20L camera pack is perfect for my compact 5-ft 8-inch frame ;-) I like to hike light and the 20L Thule EnRoute pack is just right for me and my micro 4/3 camera setup.

—6 months update— Did my first longer multi day stretch with this and unfortunately the comfort of the back bracing weight distribution system completely failed. Turned soft from the sweat so hook and loop was slipping or coming undone when ever I required the pack. 57pounds are the limit this guy can take. —Updated after a seasons use rucking— This bag is great. Sits in the right place and divides load well. Still haven’t used it for a multi day but have been training with it weighted ruking and it’s been the most comfortable bag I’ve used. ——- No1 gripe with all bags is comfort with the load. This bag seems to have come a long way from the other packs I’ve used because after my first day hike I take it off and my back isn’t not soar. Don’t get me wrong it still weighs you down but my experience from using other packs are the straps and weight sitting in a way that causes allot of strain. This pack found ways to mitigate that. Other than comfort the packs utility in storage, access and water proofing are the best I have seen yet. So many little reworks in zippers and netting make the pack a joy to use. Another Thule quality product. Does not disappoint. Read more

Perfect size backpack for a personal item on an airplane. Camera pouch is a little small but with a small lens fits great. Top opening is a magnetic closure that folds down or can be unfolded for more space. Laptop pocket is separate from a tablet storage. Side zippers into main storage area. Well worth the price paid.

Great packpack, good storage and great material. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is I would have preferred the belt/hip straps to be much wider. I want the majority of the weight to be on my hips and not my shoulders, and these small straps don't offer that for me. Otherwise great backpack with a good design. Read more

This bag was SO CLOSE to working for me, and I really wanted to keep it. The bag is extremely well made, and thoughtfully designed. Unfortunately, this bag is about 90% backpack, and 10% camera bag. The camera/lens storage is too small to be usable to me. To be clear, I'm not a professional by a long stretch. I have a camera and a few lenses to carry, and the expected filters, memory cards, and odds and ends. Still, the camera equipment portion of this bag is very small. I would guess the dimensions at 8" by 8" by 6". This will carry my mirrorless Sony camera (on the small side already), and two extra lenses, or one lens and a flash, for example. I have more stuff than that, and although I don't bring everything with me every time, I don't want to have to decide "I'm going to only take THIS type of photo" before I set out. This bag says, "I can't wait to go hiking, and I might take a photo or two while I'm out." I need a bag that says, "I want to take a lot of photographs, and I might accidentally hike in the process." I wish I was the guy that this bag was designed for, but I'm not. If this had twice, or even 50% more photo equipment storage, it would be my favorite bag for any purpose, ever. As it is, it's going to hurt to return it, but I can't keep a bag with a triple-digit price that doesn't fit all my needs. Read more

This pack is small and built for day trips. The materials are tough and high quality. It has a variety of pockets. There are two side water bottle mesh pockets. Also a small pocket on the lid and one on the right hand chest strap. And of course it has the main compartment with a laptop/water bladder pocket too. The black version of this pack is very sleek and looks stealthy like some of the military packs do. Overall this is a quality and versatile pack. Read more

I am extremely dissatisfied with my purchase. Although the product is original and has all the material characteristics of a high quality product, the backpack is simply not the same color as the advertised photo, it looks more dark green than dark gray (see comparison between Thule aion sling and the backpack on the second photo). The shoulder bag, described as black, has the Same colour of the advertisement of the backpack (“obsidian”), wich appears green in real life. Read more
