Subterra Backpack 25L

Perfect size and initial quality is solid - feels very durable. The rear zip for computer access is practical and the backpack has the right amount of pockets. I removed the sunglass insert as it cut into the interior storage but the the exterior portion of this pocket is handy and still provides protection from exterior impact. The pack has a sleek, clean, slightly generic look, perfect for those who want an attractive bag without making a fashion statement.

I grew up in the luggage industry. My dad had a store that sold luggage, briefcases, and carry-ons. So, I've seen every quality of bag imaginable, and I've repaired more zippers and rips than I can count. So, I feel like I can easily spot durability...as in this Thule Subterra pack. Ok, I also happen to like the way this looks...nice bonus. Now, I'm a teacher, and my needs vary from week to week. sometimes I just need to transport a laptop, maybe lunch. Other times I need a gazillion papers, a couple of books, and lunch. For me, this bag is the best book bag I've had....specifically because it has fewer and larger pockets rather than other brands boasting a zillion zippered compartments. For me, too many compartments just leave me searching through my bag longer. This Thule bag has a vacuous main compartment accessed by a side zipper. This allows for contents to be top-loaded or from the side...so convenient. A generously sized bottle holder on one side and a great crush-proof pocket on the other are also great features. A chest compression strap (I'm not hiking yet), solid straps and a top handle round out features that make this bag easy to manage. Tomorrow I will easily fit this soft, but nicely padded bag, under that airplane seat with no worries about the contents. I also like the way this bag closes, or, the many ways it closes. A lot of what I do needs me to get into and out of the bag frequently, so I find flaps with buckles a little awkward. When I don't need super-secure closure, this weighted flap and some of the pocket fold over (like a potato chip bag) and remain that way...SO convenient for me. Certainly, it's easy enough to clip the two nicely place buckles. Finally, the thick nylon seems super tough, zippers and pulls large, and clips are super sturdy, plenty big. I was able to touch and handle this bag in an office supply store and loved its features. This price is significantly less (about 30% less) than the in-store price. I look forward to long use with this bag, and backed by Thule, I know I can get help if needed. (comes with warranty)

Perfect. I dislike those bulky backpacks. They look like you are wearing a turtle shell on your back. Enters Thule Subterra Daypack-Dark Shadow. It is on the expensive side but it does what it advertises and more. Great lumbar support, secure pockets for a 16 - 17 inch laptop and your tablet (with a side zipper for quick access to it). Pockets for pens, a hard shell for your shades, and space for your cell phone. All good. You can fit a 1.5 three ring binder, a notebook, and place on the top a nice folded sweater or hoodie. It also can be used as a weekender. If you fold everything neatly. Water repellent unless you are caught in a storm. All in all, this is a nice stylish payback that won't break your back.

Nice backpack overall. Strong materials. Easy Access. Decent Price. Light Weight. Not getting 5 starts because being a Thule, it should have had a luggage strap to keep tight when on top of a carry-on suitcase. Can't understand the rationale no to have it .....

I like the shoe pocket although it does result in smaller clothes like socks sometimes falling in the small space between the shoe pocket and the outer wall, but it's not that big of a deal. I like that there are many carry handles including backpack straps. Not too big and just the right size for shoes, workout clothes, some toiletries and even a small laptop or tablet. I use it almost every day. Totally worth it.

Thule once again proves themselves as a company with their products. This bag is really great and has served me hiking, for work, for travel and everything in-between. The biggest pro for me personally is that there is a side access zipper to the laptop compartment which makes dealing with the TSA while flying SOO much less frustrating. The quality is also top notch. After 4 years of daily use commuting all over the place and internationally, the zipper are all still 100% functional and I haven't had a single thread/stitch come loose. It handily fits my 14" laptop; could probably fit a 16" but would be tight. Biggest con is actually the glasses hard side pouch. It isn't so much that the pouch isn't good, it is, its just that I don't really use it and could have been better with another net pouch.

Have you been looking for a stylish and durable backpack to fit a 16” MacBook Pro and Cintiq Pro16 drawing tablet? Look no further! The first thing I’ve noticed about this bag, is the amazing quality. Because of the sturdy material, this bag is not very lightweight but fairly comfortable to wear all things considered. Great compartment options and has a nice stealthy/tactical look. Please take note that the MacBook Pro 16” does not fit in the designated smaller pocket (with white felt tipping in the 5th image) but it does fit nicely into the laptop section. Not worth accessing a 16” laptop from the side zipper but clearly fits into the laptop compartment with room to spare! Extremely happy with the purchase as it allows me to carry my Cintiq Pro 16 and laptop work station to work remotely! Highly, highly recommend. Thank you Thule! Package arrived in time.

I bought a Thule bag, and I absolutely love it! The quality is outstanding, and it offers great capacity and security. I use it to carry my laptop, which is larger than 15 inches, and it fits perfectly. It allows me to take my laptop everywhere while keeping it well-protected. 5 stars for this amazing product and excellent brand!

Bought September 2016 and the present review written October 2021. You'll put away a tablet and a large laptop without fuss, and there are plenty of pockets for chargers, hard drives and the rest. The main compartment opens laterally with a full-length zip, making it easy to fill with either paperwork or a few travel clothes. I use my Subterra for shopping everyday: I cycle, and so a backpack is super handy to put my shopping away, and the lateral zip helps enormously with packing. it's my car's trunk! 😉 Disappointed that the external elastic pocket became torn about two years back, making it unusable - it'd be amazing to see this designed in such a way as to make the soft pocket replaceable, and as a matter of fact, in case Thule made a bag with a replaceable bottle net, it'd make sense to throw in at least one replacement with the bag, since the bag is so hard-wearing. in the meantime, I'd be happier with having the same external hard case as on the other side. I should point out that not one of the five zippers has broken. Yesterday, Amazon delivered my second Thule Subterra bag. Despite using my first one daily and treating it quite roughly for six years and ten months, it has held up until now. The only reason I've just bought a new one is that it was beginning to look tatty. I'm a picky person, and for me to find this bag still relevant after all these years and despite the range of models out there tells you a thing or two about the quality, the versatility as well as the good looks of the Subterra. awesome.

Me gusta mucho, es cómoda, cumple con descrito. Los materiales son de buena calidad y se ve que son duraderos

Mit gefällt der Rucksack richtig gut. Ausreichend Platz für den Tag, zwei Zugänge zum Hauptfach und ein paar kleine extra Taschen. Das Brillenfach ist auch nett. Er trägt sich gut, was will ich mehr.

Great

Very happy with my purchase. Almost 1 year on, back is still good as new, no pillings, no tears with daily use (fully packed and heavy laptop and other items inside). Hoping it was a big more spacious tho.
