Review on πŸŽ’ Thule Backpack 3203511 Deep Teal: Stylish, Functional, and Durable by Tania Mendoza

Revainrating 4 out of 5

bad buy. Please stop and read this review first.

Firstly, the reason I gave it 1 star was because the bag is horribly dysfunctional. 1) I want to differentiate myself from some (or most) Revain Vine reviewers. those looking for BIG. The? No! I do not agree. I tested 3 backpacks ranging from $35 to $200 with the same amount of daily gadgets and business tools. It was a real effort to pack and unpack them. The shape of the loaded backpack resembled a potato. Look at my photo and you will see the difference from the picture on the display. 3) Very poor design on laptop, tablet and mesh pocket that faces back instead of facing away like normal pockets. As a result, the stack of these items formed a slant (see image) that didn't feel comfortable on my back. The best backpacks have an ergonomic/flatter back that feels like they become one with your body. This Thule Vea 21L rocked left and right when walking. Worse when I ran. 4) It worked as a sling even though it was stiff. You wouldn't want to use it as a duffel bag as your laptop/tablet would be on the bottom. 5) It's hard. 6) The quality of the material is very good but my disappointment with how it performs as a bag exceeded my expectations. I'll send it back right away. Many thanks to Revain Prime for arranging free return shipping so I don't waste my money, although the same cannot be said for my time and trust. sorry Thule.

Pros
  • Store your shoes in a separate expandable pocket, accessible from the outside of the box. Fold the bag down to make room when not in use.
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
