Dark Slate Thule Rail 18L Backpack Review

We've been biking and hiking more than ever since the pandemic began, and this backpack allows us to be active all day without wasting a second. Lightweight and with plenty of storage space, it is very comfortable to wear regardless of the activity. It is worth buying.

The Thule Rail Backpack 18L is outstanding quality, 100%. If possible I would give more stars. I was so excited to receive this package and it did not disappoint. This backpack is very comfortable and can be adjusted to fit snugly so it doesn't move while you ride. There are plenty of pockets to put things in that will keep your stuff from moving if your weight shifts while riding. I'm 5'10" and my wife is 5'4" and we both find the backpack very comfortable. Anyone who has flew over their…

Great product! The Thule Rail Backpack is the perfect companion for the long haul. As an Alaskan, I made the most of the warm fall weather. An extensive trail network offers endless opportunities to explore the last frontier. I like to spend the day off-piste, that requires some preparation. This backpack has everything I need for it. The 2.5 liter tank is more than enough for a sporty man for the whole day. The well-designed backpack remains stable and the camera is centrally located to avoid…

I have used several Thule products over the years and have always been impressed with their quality. This hydration pack lives up to the Thule name. The spacious 18 liter backpack offers plenty of storage space with many different compartments, so you can easily organize and keep track of all your gear. This backpack has amazing features like a special stabilized pocket specially designed for e-bike spare batteries and even a rain cover. The HydraPack tank holds 2.5 liters. Opens and closes…

Well this bag impressed me. I have several Thule bags and while the quality is top notch I don't think Thule are particularly inventive in their designs. My other bags are very well made but rather dull workhorses like the excellent but padded Spira backpack. On the other hand, Rail looks like it was designed after everyone at Thule's went out for lunch and stumbled back into the office and decided to go crazy. First of all, he looks great. Everything from the ribbed shoulder straps to the…

I recently bought an e-bike and thought the idea of a central battery pocket would be a great feature. good backpack. At first glance, this backpack is made of a cool material that changes color depending on the light. I would say that it is iridescent and pearly. The material seems durable. Zippers are protected by rubberized heat shrink tubing with multiple finger loops for ease of use. There is an open outer pocket with straps at the top. The straps seem to sag too much as the overall…

I've tested three other hydration packs recently and this is the clear winner in every competition. Thule quality and attention to detail do not disappoint. You get what you pay for, that's for sure. I'll start with some of my favorite features.1. Ribbed back and padded shoulder straps. I'm a very sweaty guy and I tested this backpack for two days on the road in over 90C through the hills. Let me tell you about the pleasure of feeling the breeze BETWEEN my back and shoulders. The ribbed design…

I am a big Thule fan and own many of their products. You know you pay more when you buy Thule branded products, but the quality you get is always disappointing! This backpack is no exception! I also have a Thule Rail hip pack and it's just as impressive! ADVANTAGES: (1) The magnetic strip that secures the hose is the best solution I've seen from any manufacturer. The hose sits perfectly on the magnetic strip every time, with practically no effort on the part of the user. This system allows you…

My husband and I are avid cyclists (like many in San Diego, thanks to the great weather and local area). Because of this whole Covid situation we are cycling a lot more than we used to. We both have mountain bikes, beach cruisers and also road bikes, so basically half our garage is made up of bikes. If you know Thule you know that none of their products are ever bad, they are great at designing and making their products. This is another of their great products. The most important feature of…
