Review Thule Pack ‘n Pedal Commuter Backpack

Review Thule backpack

After a year of using I will Review my Thule Pack ‘n Pedal Commuter Backpack. Read my experience with this Thule backpack here! Got this Thule backpack because I planned to cycle Europe in 2015 and this backpack is waterproof. So I could travel safe with my laptop and other electronics.

One year using my Thule day backpack (Thule Pack ‘n Pedal Commuter Backpack)
After one year me and my backpack traveled over 30.000 km over three different continents in different seasons and with many different ways of transport. The waterproof backpack still looks and functions very good!

What I like about this Thule Pack ‘n Pedal Commuter Backpack

  • The place for my key
  • Extra raincover
  • Optional laptopcase what you can get out
  • Hard case for two sunglasses

Points that can be improved

  • Quicker to close
  • Make the small front pockets also waterproof

Features Thule day backpack

  • Waterproof main compartment with roll top closure keeps content dry.
  • Hideaway helmet attachment system securley holds your helmet when not in use.
  • Hideaway high visibility rain cover with reflective screen print for increased bag protection.
  • Heat-molded, crush-proof SafeZone compartment protects sunglasses, smartphone or other fragile gear.
  • Padded, removable 15″ laptop compartment with tablet sleeve sits on top of the bag rather than against your back for greater comfort.
  • 360 degree reflective elements increase visibility from all angles.
  • Organization compartment with U-lock stash pocket keeps items secure.
  • Airflow channels on EVA back panel and breathable shoulder straps provide maximum comfort and ventilation.
  • Blinky light attachment points on back panel and rain cover remove the need for fixed mounts on the bike.

In the end I can say, I give the backpack a 9 out of 10 points!

Unfortunately they don’t sell these backpacks anymore but they have great new line of Thule Backpacks on the market

      Yes Nicole it will! You can take the laptop sleeve out if you dont need that part. That is a reason I like the bag very much as well.
