Thule Subterra Backpack 34L

Brought this on a trip to Greece with my wife and 16 month old- it did everything I hoped and more. I fit way more in this than I thought given it is carry on compliant which usually means not a lot of room. Love the compartments, flexibility & it looks great- sleek look , yet very functional- well built & didn’t feel like a dorky dad on vacation with it :)

Holds a lot

I can fit almost everything here and it looks great.

I needed a slightly larger backpack for international business trips and the Subterra 34L is absolutely perfect. I tend to overpack gadgets on long haul travel and this bag is the ideal size. I easily packed 15” laptop, iPad Pro, Cell, B/O battery, Bose NC Headphones w/ case, travel pillow, lumbar cushion, office essentials - i.e. cables, connectors, pens, etc., light down jacket)….and I had plenty of room for airport souvenirs and gifts on the return trip home. My personal feeling is the pack is a little too large for my day to day office use, but filled my need for a manageable carry-on to supplement my checked bag. For me the packing cube was just a bonus as I can also use this pack as a weekend travel bag. For those who need that extra space lacking in a standard 26L tech travel pack….I highly recommend the Thule Subterra 34L.

You can easily squeeze in 4 days of cloth and additional pair of sneakers / dress shoes (depending on how light or not you pack), and your hygiene - chargers etc bags, laptop and tablet. Really comfortable and lightweight. Lightweight, perfect fit under the planes seat, even though its a bit large on dimensions, once you take take all cloths and your stuff out, will look cool on a business trip (not on executive level meetings maybe). Purchased the Mineral color, its a dark blue, but still has its colorful touch. Doesnt look like a regular backpack for sure, more trendy and cool.

I have worked steadily on doing more with less without under packing and needing to buy more when i arrive. In the past year, I have gotten into single bag packing as in, as often as possible, only having a carry-on. This bag is perfect. I can get a good 4 days worth of clothes (more in the summer) by being strategic about what I pack (i.e, 1 or 2 pairs of easily collapsible shoes). This bag is both function and looks good. I have enough compartments for my clothing and my electronics. I love that I can access the back from the top and the side and that i can access the laptop pocket from the top and side as well. The compartment section in the front is great for other tech stuff. I like to pack my cube in such a way that optimizes its space too. I.e., two smaller cubs (shirts, underwear, pajamas) and a shoe bag go in there. Heavier items like jeans, sweaters or thin jackets go in the bottom of the cube, with the two smaller ones and a shoe bag on top. I smash down, zip, and put it in the backpack. Just like that, I am ready to go. And it is not at all difficult to carry, even with electronics on board. Great bag for minimalist but not skimpy packers.

I have a 17 and a 14 lap top, a Samsung tablet and several folders. All fits in perfectly in the bag. The best part that you can reach the items inside the bag from the side, no need to dig in the bag to find something. The front pocket is also well distributed and smartly arranged. The best part: the bag fits under the seat in front of you on the plane. Since im flying at least 2-3 times a week, this is the best part for me! When i go through the TSA checkpoints at the airport, its very easy to pull out all the lap tops from the bag, no hustle. Since it also has a top magnetic seal, i dont have to worry that anything falls out from the bag. I tried to buy this bag at the airport, they sell it, but for $20-30 more...I looked it, tried it out and ordered one through Amazon. Its definitely worth the money! Great brand, feels durable and a good quality. Dont think about it, buy it!

the good - This is a really well designed backpack, functionally everything my son wanted the bad - we bought one, zipper broke so we returned it and got a replacement, same thing happened. Tried to return it (within 6 months of receipt) and were told we could not - the warranty expired from the original purchase

it’s great! can pack a full days worth of supplies for my long days in chicago. handles a lot of weight well and doesn’t wear your shoulders down

The bag is awesome look good and big enough to carry my gym stuff.
