For the abbreviated review, skip to the last paragraph, you might have to do some scrolling.
Let me start by saying that I love this bag, and if thats all you read of this review, you will not be disappointed by the bag. For those of you with concerns, I will try to adress them now. This bag is organized VERY well. The center pocket is EXTREMELY spacious, and can hold 6 textbooks all about 1.75in in thickness. If you carry more than that many books, just go buy a luggage cart. The laptop pocket holds any size laptop up to a 17in. But that dosent mean it wont cary a 13 or 11 in securely and safely. The tablet pocket will accomodate just about any 10 tablet including my galaxy tab 10.1. The added pockets at the top are great for carrying a mouse, cellphone charger or just cables. Dont expect to fit anything more than a magazine into this pocket though, as its very slim. the front pockets are great. Inside the front attached pocket thing there are three pockets, one zipper pocket, and two normal pockets of different sizes. The two pockets are perfectly sized for a scientific calculator (ti84 plus) and a sizable stack of notecards. The zipper pocket is well made and I use it for holding pens becuase i can trust the material they use. this pocket can also accomodate another larger item; like a pair of headphones or a kindle or a book.
Moving to the main pocket there is ample room inside as mentioned above and some pockets above that are very handy because they are so high up they dont interfere with the books.
The crushproof pocket has a feature that i dont think anyone else mentioned, it has the ability to be locked. The zipper will accomodate a standard travel lock. It is the only locking pocket on the bag as far as i know. That said, the zippers have holes in them big enough to possibly accomodate a standard padlock.
The bottom pocket is very flat, as you would expect. One reviewer wrote about uneven wear because the charger would cause a bump in the pocket. I dont have this fear because i have the extension on my mac charger, (it comes with one people, its in the box) so the pocket just sits flat.
The water bottle compartments are made of quite heavy material, unlike most other brands (come on northface). and they are easily large enough to accomodate a thermos.
The straps and back padding are very comfortable as i assume they are made from some high density foam or gell. Some reviews complained about the straps pinching their necks. I have not had this problem. Though you should really think about this bag if you have a small frame. IT is VERY large and may be too large for anyone under about 5' 6".
Another bonus about this bag is it excellent build quality. The strap adjustment loop things are made from solid aluminum and have a nice brushed finish. I dont expect them to scratch or break. The whole backpack is made with care and the zippers and straps, stitches and design show it. And Thule backs up their workmanship with a 25 year warranty.
You made it, or you just cheated, whatever, in summary:
If your a student and considering this bag I would say go get one, as long as you are big enough to carry it. It feels big, and rightfully so, at 32L its right at the top of the backpack range. Its excellent build quality and though in the designing process make this bag worth every penny of its pricey $129.99 price tag.
The laptop is so large that it is a tight fit in this bag, but it fits. Carrying it, with a large charger, and all the other typical gear for business travel, I have room to spare. I tend to travel heavy, with my laptop, charger, iPad, and sometimes a second, much smaller laptop. It all fits. Not only does it fit, the weight is comfortable to wear, even when walking through an airport between long connections.
There are a few features that I particularly like with this bag:
Material/Design: It is different. In all my travels (in airports at least once a month), I have only ever seen this bag one other time. It is unique and I like that. The material must be a cousin to Kevlar because it wears like it-- meaning it doesn't wear at all. The colors stay true and in a year, there has been no fading or wear marks, let alone rips or tears.
Glasses holder: I have carried up to 3 pairs of glasses in this holder and I am very comfortable that they are safe in the hardened section.
Adjustable area behind the front pocket: I was not sure what to think about this but now I love it. It is great for a place to throw stuff quick, but even better, it is the perfect place to carry a sweatshirt or jacket-- like when you travel from a warm place to a cold place and need to stow that jacket.
Bottom pocket: At the very bottom is a nice little pocket. It fits a laptop charging brick very nicely. I feel as though that will also protect the objects in the bottom of my bag.
The 'bottle pocket' works great. I have been able to carry a water bottle and a coffee mug, one in each side, while fully loaded. The pockets are big, and stretch to provide a tight, secure fit.
What I don't like:
The chest strap is pretty much useless. It is too small and thin and I tried to use it a few times but the shoulder straps are so comfortable that I don't need them.
It holds a ton. That is good and bad. Bad just because with my large laptop, I probably carry 40 pounds of stuff, and there is room for more.
I love this bag. I am not so keen on the new version. But, after having it a year, it is showing almost no wear. Based on my first bag, I expected this so I am not surprised. I guess I am not too upset about the new version because at this rate, I will not have to replace this bag for many, many years.

El tamaño ideal .
Luce muy bien
Y el precio esta bien .
So I decided to order another Thule knapsack, the one for the 17-inch MacBook Pro this time, and it's even better than the one I had before (for 15-inch MBP). It's a little larger than the one I had before, almost too large for public transportation, although it still works when I'm seated and I turn it sideways and put it on my lap. I actually like that it is a little larger than the 15-inch model, since I sometimes ran out of room with the 15-inch one after buying too many groceries.
The "Safe Zone" compartment in the 17-inch model is significantly bigger than in the 15-inch model, so even a large smartphone or large case for glasses can go in there. Thus far, the Safe Zone appears to be water proof. The thick, heavy-duty straps can make you a bit sweaty around the shoulders on a hot day and sometime seem a bit awkward, but are so much better overall than the thins straps you see on most knapsacks. Incredibly, you can actually run with this knapsack on without holding on to the straps (which I can't say for any non-Thule knapsack I've ever had), although I usually do end up holding on to the straps. My point is that it doesn't bounce around like other knapsacks do when you're running.
It's also much easier on my back than cheap knapsacks are. It stays up relatively high on your back and doesn't slide way out and down and strain your lower back as takes place when you have a load of groceries in a cheap knapsack. This is really something to consider if you are at all concerned about back issues. If you're loading yourself down with books all the time, are you doing yourself a favor by buying a cheap knapsack that is hard on your back?
The Thule compartments are very well padded for your electronic devices. All the little zippers and compartments really help me stay organized, giving me a place for batteries, pens, keys, and so on. Since my knapsack is like my command center, this is important to me and it's especially important when I'm traveling by air.
Yes, it's about twice as expensive as your typical knapsack from a university bookstore and so you need to be careful with it to make sure it lasts. But, all things considered, this is the best knapsack I've ever had. I still hope to get the zipper fixed on my old one, but all I can say is, Thule is the Volvo of knapsacks, expensive yes but durable and well engineered.
Aber vorab das Gute: Das Produkt entspricht zu 100% meinen Erwartungen wie die Abbildungen sie weckten. Es gibt genug Stauraum, die Verarbeitung ist solide und das Design – skandinavisch halt, und die können es.
Ich würde mir nur wünschen, dass die Schlaufen noch fester verarbeitet sind. Wenn man nämlich viel Gepäck hat – neben dem Laptop, Tastatur, Maus, Bücher oder Hefte kommt man schnell auf 8–10 Kg – , dann ist es nicht gut, den Rucksack an einer Schlaufe hochzuziehen, weil sie schnell anfängt auszuleiern.
Deswegen nur 4 Sterne… Ansonste würde ich ihn noch mal kaufen.
