Thule Women's Capstone Atlantic Backpack for Hiking and Daypacks Review

This summer my daughter was in a bike accident and broke her arm and leg. She does a lot of walking in the fresh air, but was confined to a wheelchair while her bones healed. When I saw this backpack I thought it would be the perfect gift for her, a gift that will remind her of what's to come and remind her that she will soon be back hiking and hiking in nature. Thule is a great brand that most Alaskans are familiar with. This backpack is specially made for women and my daughter loves it. I…

My wife happened to buy my son a very similar Boy Scouts of America bag which compares favorably to this bag. As a Thule bag, it's packed with compartments and features; Of course, there are a large number of small fasteners. The stitching and materials are very good, with enough padding at the contact points. Personally, I would have preferred a simpler bag, but I appreciate the creativity of the Thule design team. Even though this is exclusively for women I'm at a loss as to why a man can't…

Wow! This is a luxury backpack for travelers willing to pay for the best. The material is strong yet light. One main compartment with a pocket inside for individual items. The drawstring closes the main compartment, above which there is a flap with a zip compartment. This provides a secure closure as well as a quick access zipped pocket for storing items that you may need more frequently during use. Then there is another pocket in front of the main compartment and small storage spaces here and…

I recently planned to climb Mount Fuji (7 hours climb, for reference) and got this backpack from Prime for that purpose. In general, the bag is not bad. Size and capacity are excellent. I was able to fit a few gallons of water bottles, lots of snacks, three jackets, a raincoat, and flashlights without feeling like it took a lot of effort to squeeze everything in. There is also a small zipper at the base. Pocket that made it easier to access items packed below without having to rummage through…

So I switched from a Kelty Catalyst 50L to this Thule Capstone and I'm so happy about it! 50L was a bit big I thought I need that much but I didn't. It was comfortable and I actually thought it was a cat meow at the time, but this backpack is so much better and yes, part of that is because it's made for women. The Kelty Catalyst I had was gender independent and compared to how this Thule Capstone fits I can really tell now. Maybe it's because this Capstone has a volume of 40 liters, so it's a…

This is a great lightweight backpack for hot and humid/rainy weather. The back freedom with mesh really helps keep you cool and sweat less. The padding on the thighs is also ribbed for extra ventilation. Nylon has a water-repellent finish. The rain cover is easily accessible and easy to put on and take off. The large pouch with "Push-it" written on the outside of the bag has ventilation at the bottom. Just said it has a different suspension and waist belt. They don't look any different in the…
