Perfect travel backpack. Very well made. Minimalist design but still very functional, appropriate amount of interior storage, lightweight, durable. 15" laptop fits easily, bigger would likely fit too. Read more

Got the 27L in black. Looks very sleek and professional. The bag is very sturdy due to the padding in the front panel of the back and the padding around the zippers to give the back structure even when empty. Part of me is wondering if all that padding is really necessary though. It's a bit excessive in my opinion. The side pockets for the water bottles are even padded and it just takes up excess space. Like do you really need padding to protect your water bottle. And on top of that the pockets have their own liner as well, and there is not excess fabric to fill the potential space, so the pockets are not as deep as the actual bag would be without them if that makes sense. I wish the bottle pockets went up a bit higher to create a deeper pocket so that my bottle won't fall out. You get a lot for what you pay for, but all that padding is going to add to the weight of it, take up more space, and make it heavier than it needs to be. I only put a laptop and a iPad with some notebooks and it feels so heavy like I packed out the entire bag. There are some convenient pockets like a hidden one for your passport and a side access for laptop. Some may say they wish there were more exterior quick access pockets, but the one on the side I think may serve that purpose. The most important thing for me was having a horizontal luggage pass so that it can sit vertically on your suit case. so many bags do the vertical luggage pass, which makes no sense to me especially if you have a water bottle in the side pocket. Also the bottom of the bag is tapered so it sits slanted. Also some of the stitching is a bit loose and there are a bunch of thread ends sticking out. I am hesitant to keep this bag to be honest, but overall well built Read more

This is why you buy a Thule. Super pack, quality materials, tons of storage room, easy access to tablet or laptop and lots of little security extras. Straps and back padding are super comfy. Doesn't bounce, slip or slide when walking. Side pouches are generous - holds a sizable water bottle or a Yeti coffee mug with a lid. Read more

This backpack is very solid and more “stiff” than others I’ve had but in a durable, quality way. It protects my laptop very well and holds everything I need for trips to the office or plane trips. I only put my electronics and associated work items in it as it’s a bit small for packing clothing etc. Read more

After researching a bunch of bags online, I decided to check out the Thule Subterra 2. This bag exceeded my expectations. The first thing that I noticed was the excellent build quality - it's not hard shell but the construction is sturdy enough that it holds it's shape nicely even when empty. Everything I need for my daily commute both fits easily and is readily accessible. One thing to note is that in the photos you can't really see it but the the "slate grey" option that I picked has a very subtle blue tint - not enough that it catches your attention if it's in your peripheral vision but if you look straight at it you notice that this isn't just a ho-hum cheap grey bag.

Excellent build quality with a sleek, understated design, I really like the minimal branding. The materials feel premium and durable. The organization is top-notch. That said, the water bottle pockets are a too shallow/loose and don’t hold items securely when you’re on the move or bending over. Also, unlike the earlier version of this bag, it doesn’t stand up on its own, which can be a little inconvenient. Still, a solid pack overall. Read more
