@vinuash A little late, but…I bought a 27L without looking at the reviews. Freaked me out, so I contacted Thule about it. They told me that only the first batch had that issue, and the one I got was from a newer batch that had the problem fixed (I gave them the serial number when I got the bag). Even if it was from the first batch, it would have been covered for 2 years. So, everyone should grab one next time they’re here.
@tracanhle a little late? My order already came! Hahah. For what it’s worth, anyone looking at this I love mine so far. Check in a year later and we’ll see
For those possibly wondering about the personal item use on aircrafts, these are just outside the range but you could probably get away with it anyway.
“The maximum dimensions for your personal item that fits under the seat in front of you, such as a shoulder bag, purse, laptop bag or other small item, are 9 inches x 10 inches x 17 inches (22 cm x 25 cm x 43 cm).”
I’m doing something maybe helpful today to somebody. Meh.
got the 24L when it was here a month ago. It’s an awesome backpack, just the right size for commuting with a 13-15" laptop, and also can be carried sideways as a satchel
I bought a Thule for my kid for Xmas, for her iLaptop and she loves it. Thanks! However my closet is chock full of backpacks and I just don’t wanna try justifying another one to SWMBO (she who must be obeyed)
I got the Paramount 24L the first time it was offered here and I am exceedingly happy with it. It didn’t see much use at first through no fault of its own (I have a plethora of packs) but I’ve found a purpose for it as my portable bar in a bag and it performs outstandingly.
The main compartment is large enough to hold no less than two handles of liquor, god knows how many 750ml bottles (6+ I’d wager), and probably more if I wanted to stack thjings. The little elasticized side pouch is ideal for holding my bottle of Domino Superfine Sugar (essential for Mojitos) and the outer pocket easily fits my Boston shaker, Hawthorne strainer, MixSure measuring glass, jigger, muddler, and mixing spoon with room to spare. It has proven invaluable for going over friends’ places BYOB and there’s the nice security of knowing that, if I should somehow manage to break open a bottle in transit, the water resistant lining will contain the mess.
If I could think of another use for one I’d be in for another, no questions asked. Then again with Casemates coming up maybe I need a portable wine cellar… this bears further consideration.
Bought the 24L last month. Being red and December it seemed like a perfect Christmas gift for DH. (He needed somewhere to put his other Christmas gift, the drone and goggles with all those parts, pieces, batteries, extra wing thingies, charging cords, lenses… it almost needs its own room) Efficient design, rugged material, good quality. Not for backpacking the Alps, but excellent for anything else you may need to haul back and forth.
I almost talked myself into the 24L when it was offered last time, same today. I already have much better hiking and travel packs; the only thing that tempted me was the prospect of a rubber-bottom pack to take when playing sports in the rain. However, reviews say it doesn’t stand upright so well unless it’s packed perfectly. I’ll just keep an eye out for a water-resistant duffel bag.
Don’t need to say anything about the backpack… just wanted to share that today is my 365th straight meh button click… 3rd times a charm it’s my 3rd streak over 300 and finally made it to a year straight!!!
I ordered a subterrra to replace my aging backpack I use to carry my crap into and out of work, plus the occasional school book for when I actually attend a class in person…
But mostly, it’s just to try to not break another laptop.
the waterproof base of these backpacks comes apart at the seams after a lot of use. I used Aquaseal to glue mine back together, it has held up well. Clean the seam with rubbing alcohol or something, make sure you have a good clean surface. Put a bag of rice or something inside of the bag to hold the seam parts together overnight while the glue sets.

@awk @cengland0 Thanks!
@cengland0 Is there water on the moon? Was Kubrick trying to say something there?
</snark>
@awk wow, that guy’s insane.
I pity the Thule
@zippyus
Apparently the bottom falls out often on the 27L one, but the 25L one is okay.
@vinuash In the Amazon review there are some complaints about the same thing with all three.
@craigthom I was going off of the Thule website reviews. One star vs five star on there.

Without a hip strap it isn’t a backpack.

Personal item

I’ve brought a half-full duffel bag as a carry-on: I figured if challenged I could squash it into the test frame - but no one ever challenged it.
@Akinari I flew with the 24L one last month. It gets in the way of your feet a little when under the seat, but it was fine. It’s an awesome bag.
got the 24L when it was here a month ago. It’s an awesome backpack, just the right size for commuting with a 13-15" laptop, and also can be carried sideways as a satchel
I also got the 24L earlier and it’s an excellent value. Would buy it again.
@loydlaw why do you need two backpacks
To keep your hands free:
@TrainerRyan The same reason one might need three backpacks?
The conversation for Wednesday’s deal went something like this:
Irk: What do we have to sell Wednesday?
Meh Buyer: We got a great deal on these backpacks.
Irk: It is suppose to the coldest day on record. Great idea. Everyone will want to use them immediately!
I bought a Thule for my kid for Xmas, for her iLaptop and she loves it. Thanks! However my closet is chock full of backpacks and I just don’t wanna try justifying another one to SWMBO (she who must be obeyed)
So, nah.
/youtube you go girl colorado
Or will make them think you’re a Thule.
OoOoo thancy! Thanks Guyths!

Who needs this backpack at this price?
Subterra is already sold out. I had a feeling it would go first
@Euniceandrich Makes it that much easier to pick then.
@Targaryen now we’re down to just the Paramount 24L … Even easier choice for most.
How about some nice messenger bags then…
/giphy gutsy-abrasive-place 27l…stupid subterra sold out…
calling @mfladd
If the H is silent, why even have it? I feel bad for all the Thomes and Thandies that have to constantly correct people and irks.
Just a word of warning… Meh might want to look up the word that was originally in the “catch a tiger by the toe” rhyme
@jetwash13 Came here to say this, too. Probably not the best subject line choice.
Need an adulting backpack and the red looks like it’ll do adulting well. Sleek and not too bulky… perfect for traveling various cities.

These backpacks look like the Hitler Youth Model.

I need someone to contact me I never received my backpack, and FEDEX says it was delivered.
@daleberridge Sounds like a carrier issue. Have you contacted Fedex/USPS?

I still use this backpack regularly.
Good quality backpack.
