THULE AION DURABLE ADVENTURE TRAVEL LIGHTWEIGHT BACKPACK

I bought it to go to Africa. It was my carry on. I really love it. The pockets are really nice and usefull. I use it now as a regular backpack for school. Maybe Thule needs improve a little bit the tissu. It doesn't let the water get in the bag but something left a dark spot on the tissu and it'not easy to clean. Really happy about my purchase.

I've had this backpack for three years now and it is holding up well. The functionality of the bag, with its three different compartments and expandability cannot be beat. I use it for commuting and occasionally as an overnight bag. However, it is slightly uncomfortable on my shoulders. The straps have little padding and are too far apart for me. (I'm a 5'4" woman). It would be nice if you offered the pack in proportions for a smaller person and in more colors.

I am so happy with this backpack for traveling. The different compartments helps me keep things organized. I stuffed it to the brim so it just barely fits underneath the plane seat as a ‘personal item’ but it fit!

This bag is 28L size. It is a good sized pack but not large. It is great for a travel carry on but small for an all-in-one that would replace a carry on backpack and a piece of luggage. I love the details from the zippers to the flexibility inside to the expansion zip out. The fabric is supple yet durable. The shoulder straps are curved for a more contoured fit - especially for women. I did also get the hip pack to couple it as a waste strap - it rides higher on the torso than I would like (I’m 5’9”) but it is a great combo and much better than trying to stuff the hip pack into the pack when you are flying with carryon limitations.

J'ai acheté ce sac pour mes voyage d'affaires et pour le quotidien. Il est un excellent sac intermédiaire qui peut facilement loger un gros laptop, une tablette et plusieurs documents. J'aime beaucoup les poches de rangement de toutes tailles. Pour la finition, le matériel Bluesign est très intéressant et lui donne une apparence "vintage".

It is so comfortable on my shoulders and back - it was easy for me to carry along our recent adventures! The different pockets also made it easy to stay organized while traveling, which I love. So happy with this bag!

After doing a ton of research and even buying another bag, I landed on this one for business travel. Along with compression cubes, you can technically use this or the 40L for one bag travel. The clamshell compartment helps to make this bag indispensable because of how you can utilize the space. The 28L Aion backpack and the matching carry-on spinner make a great pair, look phenomenal and have lots of great organizational features. I’ve never had a bad experience with a Thule product thus far. Thanks for putting your best into your products!

After returning from European travel without a decent travel pack, I immediately sought out the best pack I could find, and it turned out to be from the same company that made my wheeled luggage - Thule. My first experience with this pack was domestic business travel in the US. Three days of clothing and computer fit easily in the Aion, and there was room to spare. The rugged ballistic cloth held up to all the rigors of plane travel, and access to necessities was easy to reach when needed. I definitely recommend the Aion travel pack.

I did a lot of research before choosing the Thule Aion backpack for internacional travel. I was not disappointed, the pack is well make from tough materials. Large enough to hold about half my stuff for a 10 day trip. Looking forward to putting it through its paces here in about two weeks.

Love my Thule Aion 28L! Holds as much as my spinner did, but now my hands are free when traveling!

This is the best backpack for lugging around a computer everywhere you go. Very comfortable, the zippers feel awesome to use, the pockets are well placed. Space is great, I use it for a daily, I carry a few ergonomic items like a laptop stand, small bluetooth keyboard, mousepad and wrist rest and it all fits in nicely, and it has tons of space while not feeling too bulky or baggy. I will also use it when I travel, and it likely has enough space where I can bring this as an only bag on a high percentage of trips. Highly Reccomend

I travel for work often and was excited to come across this bag. The bag is okay, the straps are disappointing. Narrow enough to cut into my chest and shoulders when I have the bag filled (which is always because I only pack carry-on). The material inside the straps seems cheap and I can’t imagine it will hold up very long. The straps also attach to the bag about 2 inches below the top of the bag, and offer no way to snug the top of the bag closer to your shoulders. It ends up hanging low and leans out from the shoulder making the weight feel more awkward and not totally secure. There’s a cross-chest strap that helps, but doesn’t fix the issue.

All though I haven't travel yet, I am packed and ready to go, leaving in a day. I feel very organized and was able to pack everything I wanted with room to spare!

I've been using the Thule Aion Backpack for a few weeks now. I purchased this for international travel and wanted a bag with all these features and the ability to fit under the plane seat. Currently I am using it for every day work travel and it has not disappointed. The backpack is comfortable, functional and I have no worries about it. I am glad I did the research and this bag has all the features that any traveler would want and the bonus of it being comfortable to carry. Hands down the best backpack I have purchased.

I travel a lot internationally. It was time for me to get a new backpack. I did a ton of research and bought a handful of different brands. I returned all the others and kept this one. It is just about perfect for me and seems like it will last a really long time. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Love this backpack as it checks all the boxes of what I was looking for: -padded laptop compartment, easily accessible -looks good and high-quality build -spacious interior with enough room to be an overnighter, but small enough to be a daily carry - the expansion zipper really helps strike this balance. -comfortable/ergonomic -expandable water bottle pocket -well sized/appointed accessories pocket

What a fantastic bag! I'm personally not big on multiple pockets and tons of organization - I kind of feel like pockets and clips and sleeves make a bag heavier/provide weak points/water ingress opportunities/harder to load - totally a personal thing though. I do need a little bit of organization and this bag seems to provide only slightly more than I'm looking for. I love the rubber divider and waterproof pocket. Sometimes you have some funky, dirty or wet stuff mid-adventure and laundering or drying it before you move on just isn't an option. I also love how it has a pocket to stow the divider away (and a place to hide that little gift for your beloved to give them later) The top- and back-loading options are fantastic for packing everything in. I usually pack clothes with the back open, close up shop and use the top load access to compress the clothes down and put my food and a dopp kit on top for easy snacking and self care mid-journey. With the extension unzipped this bag is *huge*. My wife and I just spent a week in Arizona and we managed to cram everything we needed into the bag - I will say we travel extremely light though. I was worried about how well my oddly sized laptop would fit - it's a 16", but is "squarer" than most laptops. I'm pleased to say it fits just fine and I think a 17" laptop might barely fit - maybe. Some minor niggles: The back zipper pulls can be locked together to deter unauthorized entry, but the top-load zippers do not lock together - these both access the same compartment which renders the locking zipper pulls superfluous. I realize that a knife through the canvas makes even the most secure closure system useless, so this doesn't bother me too much. I really wish there was a strap retention system for the shoulder straps, or that the straps were removable. When I'm flying, I carry this bag on the airplane by the side handle, but the shoulder straps are always a mess and get caught on things occasionally in the narrow aisle. I'd love some MOLLE compatible strap ladders. I realize there aren't many secure places on this bag. Maybe on the side near the handle or on the shoulder straps? MOLLE systems aren't lightweight or sleek looking, but I think they could be put in a couple of spots without making the bag heavy or look like something the military would issue.

Great quality, perfect design It’s a perfect gear for outdoor fans in travelling

I needed a carryon for an upcoming trip. Started with the carryon spinner, then ordered the 35 L duffel as a personal item. Noticed the 28 L backpack also looped over the suitcase handle so I had to have it too. Finished off with the sling bag Which doubles as an added belt for the pack. Now I am ready for any flight or weekender. So many useful features including a packing cube - another cool innovation.glad I chose the nutria brown- ez to spot in a world of black luggage. Sorry no pic’s I’m reviewing from work. I highly recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This travel backpack by Thule is all the rave! My family and I take a lot of day trips so this backpack has been a lifesaver! There are quite a bit of of pockets and compartments to keep everything organized. It definitely holds a lot of stuff! The straps are super comfortable and padded so wearing it for a long period of time is no problem at all. The material of the bag is very durable and easy to wipe clean. I have enjoyed taking this bag with us everywhere. It is really all we need to pack up and enjoy the day out.
