Thule Construct Backpack - School Work Travel - Padded Laptop Sleeve - Internal Organizational Quick Access Front Pocket

This backpack is great! it has just enough compartments, not too many and not too few. It also has a nice capacity at 28L, so I can really pack it full. It is strong and sturdy, the zippers and material are of good quality. And it also looks great! I highly recommend. Read more

I rarely write reviews, but I agree with the other reviewers- what a fantastic, well thought out bag. I’ve been using this backpack for work. I am a physician and I’m back in training in a rigorous specialty- which means I need pockets for essentials in case I unexpectedly have a bad on-call shift and have to spend hours in the hospital. I also wanted a bag that is durable and low maintenance since I travel in between different hospital sites (and let’s face it, hospitals floors are dirty!) This backpack checks all the boxes and then some. I got the 28L- not only does the bag feel super durable (the materials feel strong and the stitching looks reinforced), it has so many compartments for all of my things. I can comfortably carry my laptop (a 14 inch Lenovo), multiple chargers, notebooks/pens, a toiletry bag, protein bars/small Pyrex container, keys, and 26oz water bottle (on the side pocket) and still have plenty of room to spare- and it stays organized due to the different compartments and pockets. I love the padded/soft lined zipper compartment in the front of the bag where I can throw my phone/air pods/sunglasses and not worry about them getting scratched or damaged. The only potential issue with this bag is that it is a touch heavy- this isn’t a dealbreaker by any means, but if you’re looking to travel internationally with this bag (and travel to countries where there are very strict carry-on weight policies on their flights)- I feel like you’d lose a pound or two to the bag’s weight. For domestic travel though, this bag would be amazing (and it can be compressed using its side straps to fit under the seat if it isn’t fully loaded.) I think this backpack is going to be worth it’s price point already. I already own Thule hiking/camping bags that are holding up very well (both as checked-in bags and also having been out in the elements) which made me take a chance on this bag. I hope Thule keeps up their excellent quality/standards. Read more

I purchased this for my daughter’s freshman year in college. She says it’s the perfect backpack - fits everything she needs, plenty of compartments, zippers like a dream, and is comfortable to carry. Read more

I own a Thule carry on which I have loved using for years. This backpack does not disappoint. Great quality fabric, zippers, straps, and overall design. The backpack has more than enough storage to serve as a go to every day carry and a personal item on flights. Holds two laptops, my jacket and all my essentials. It also fits under the seat on a plane without eating up your leg room. I highly recommend this backpack. Last one you'll ever buy. Read more

Fantastic quality - sturdy fabric, smooth zippers, well made. I planned to use the backpack as my personal item and tested it by loading what I normally take onboard. At first it seemed to be the perfect bag. Laptop area well padded and easy to access. Main compartment quite spacious. Lots of pockets for organization. The first problem I encountered was that my Bose headset almost but not quite fit in the clam shell. Not a deal breaker but it would have been nice if the pocket was just a 1/2” deeper. It felt very comfortable on my back but a sternum strap would have made it even better. The shoulder harnesses are nicely padded and the bag sat comfortably on my back. The deal breaker was the trolley strap. While it is nice and wide, going pretty much the width of the bag, there is a slight curvature to the bag which made it difficult to slide over the suitcase handle. This curvature probably had a lot to do with the comfort of the bag on my back. But one of my chief complaints with the backpack I am replacing has been the difficulty with loading and unloading it from my the top of my suitcase. Read more

After reading dozens of reviews to find the perfect backpack for my 2021 16 inch M1 Macbook Pro with a SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro Case cover, I decided this Thule Construct Backpack was going to be a perfect match. And I was right. One other reviewer mentioned that he was able to fit his Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16" without a problem. I went to the Lenovo's website and the dimensions of the Legion 5 Pro 16" are a bit bigger than my 16" M1 Macbook Pro. So I thought my Macbook should fit just fine with the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro Case I got for it. And it did! It really feels as if this Thule Construct backpack was specifically made for a Macbook Pro with a case on it. Take a look at the pictures to see for yourself. And Thule is guarantee of amazing high quality materials and construction. The blue color is also so professional, really 'business casual' vibe that is perfect to bring it to work. If you have a 16" Macbook Pro with a case / cover, this backpack will be absolutely perfect for you as well. I could not be happier with this find. Read more
