Thule Covert DSLR Backpack 24L, Black, one Size

I love how versatile this bag is. The smaller day pack that fits inside may be removed and the bag used for purposes other than camera grear. The side pockets allow easy access to two cameras or camera and additional lens while on the go. You can also add a cube to hold multiple cameras or many additional lenses and still have room for clothing and snacks. The only thing I’d change would be a thicker and padded waist belt to support all the weight of the bag.

I don’t like to write reviews when I first receive a product so this is a review after using this bag for more than a year. I have been using this as my daily work backpack / camera bag / travel bag. It has been traveling with me all over the world. Very durable and stylish backpack. I have no complaints.

I was skeptical at first but after using the bag for a week on my recent cruise to Alaska, it's very functional. One of my big hang ups when I first got was the roll top vs. a zipper. That is not an issue at all. In fact, I really like the roll top. The removable camara bag is a nice option although I found it was a bit awkward when carried on it's own. That being said, it still gives you that flexibility which I love. Overall I'm very pleased with the bag.

I'm going to be pretty harsh here because Thule has placed their backpack in the same price category as the more popular camera bag brands like WANDRD, and peak design. This in mind, the truth is, that they completely and utterly fail to deliver a competitive product. I own the wandrd prvke, which is a cheaper bag by about $20, and the materials on it are not even comparable. Every component on the prvke is higher quality, in fact I have an old backpack I purchased for $17 on Amazon that I prefer the feeling of. Zippers snag constantly, the shoulder straps feel cheap and rub awkwardly against my ribs, the waist strap is uncomfortable when tucked in. Honestly the bag isn't nearly big enough to need a waist strap, so that's fairly unnecessary in the first place. The camera section is where the bag recovers some points, but then the back panel, which is advertised to fit a 16" MacBook, doesn't fit my 15" HP laptop. I was looking for a more casual bag with some more organizational pockets, and this bag... sort of... has that. It does have pockets to organize things like pens, headphones, cables, etc. But they're tight and hard to get into. I wanted to love this bag so much because it's the closest thing I've found to what I want in a bag layout, but I just don't think I can stomach paying over $200 for this level of quality. If it were in the sub $100 category, competing with low end lowepro bags or Brevite bags, I could cut it a lot of slack, but for a $250 bag? I expect it to at least feel nicer than my old $17 backpack from college. I can't stress enough that this actually isn't an exaggeration. I am at a loss as to how a $17 amazon bag can have great quality zippers and materials, but a $250 bag from a major outdoors company can be so poorly made. The only advice I have is to buy from a different brand entirely.

Good size bag for valuable and water bottle and the magent is SO strong

Pros: I love the concept of the removable camera cube that you can double as a sling bag. I searched high and low and did not find another bag that did anything like this and provided the same amount of space for your gear, and especially not in the cool form of a sling bag. You can literally strap it to your chest while wearing the backpack and it would just count as a personal item when traveling. Hence you can pack most if not all of your backpack with clothes while still keeping your camera gear in your "personal item sling bag." I know someone ppl would just rather buy a huge 45L carry on, but who wants to carry a bulky bag with them when they arrive at their destination. The thule convert on it's own is a fine daypack. Cons: If you look closely at the photos on the website, which I did not do, you'll see that where the strap connects to the camera cube bag there is just a small strip of fabric. Are you freaking kidding me?!?!? Almost $300 for a bag and they can't make a connector more sturdy than that?!? Imagine putting 4 thousand dollars worth of gear in this bag and the only thing keeping it from crashing into the ground is a thin strip of fabric maybe 1/4" wide at most. Thule has great customer service, but that's only for their bags. They're not going replace all my damaged gear when it falls on the ground. Another thing about the sling bag cube I wanted to mention is that it's not nearly as roomy as the photos make it seem. In it you see a dslr with a large L lens being neatly placed inside, but when i tried that i had to jam it in and it looked nothing like the photo. The dividers were bent and twisted and accessing and stowing away a a dslr through the side side panel would not be convenient, which defeats the whole purpose of side access. The padded back panel is made of a nice material, but it's thinly padded. if you don't think that will bother you with a max load then this shouldn't be an issue for you. I think maybe this is up to personal preference. When you place a laptop in the back panel it can get kind of stiff. There's also no airflow because it's completely flat. Again, for nearly $300 I think a little more forethought into comfort should have been a consideration.

Very good quality bag. It fits my Macbook Pro 16 inch (2023) just fine!

Awesome update on an older model by the same company. Great design, great materials.

Der beste Kamera-Rucksack, den ich je hatte. Ich nutze ihn jetzt schon ein paar Jahre und bin nach wie vor super zufrieden. Sehr gute Qualität und super stabil. Sieht aus wie am ersten Tag. Keine Macken. Und unterstützt den Rücken super. Würde ihn mir jeder Zeit wieder kaufen.

La Thule di base è una marca affidabile e se cercate uno zaino fotografico questo prodotto potrebbe soddisfarvi, ma bisogna venire a compromessi. Al costo di listino probabilmente non rappresenta un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo, ma se acquistato sotto i 200 euro si. Pro: - Lo spazio superiore è abbastanza per un viaggio di 5/6 giorni - Ha un sacco di tasche - La borsa fotografica è una killer features che cambia completamente la qualità di questo zaino: 1. È imbottita 2. Ha un paio di tasche esterne comode per piccoli accessori 3. Ha la tracolla, comoda per portarla in giro - Tutti i lacci che devono cingere elementi come borracce molto alte e cavalletti, hanno un sistema di chiusura del laccio in eccesso innovativa. - Ogni cerniera ha un piccolo spazio dove nascondere i lacci. Contro - La borsa fotografica non è sufficiente a portare più di una mirrorless con 3 obbiettivi piccoli (uno già montato sulla lente) - Alla lunga non è estremamente comodo - Prezzo di listino eccessivo - Il gancio per chiudere la sacca che si apre verso l'alto è un po piccola... e non proprio sicure alla lunga - Le tasche frontali sono molto ristrette Io mi son trovato bene, ma riconosco che ci sono delle necessità personali che potrebbero non fartelo apprezzare

Ho ricevuto da poco questo Thule che ho acquistato avendo necessità di portare con me spesso un po’ di cose, incluso un piccolo corredo fotografico mirrorless ma full frame, quindi di dimensioni non minuscole, MacBook e iPad, oltre a portafogli, cuffie audio, chiavi, ombrello. La scelta é caduta su questo modello per la presenza della borsa interna separabile, e l'ampia dotazione di tasche. Queste ultime, a parte la sezione per la fotocamera che é separabile, sono 3. Una principale, di grande capienza, in alto (che puó arrivare a occupare tutto il volume dello zaino togliendo il borsello interno e aprendo la cerniera del pannello di separazione), una piú piccola sempre in alto, e una in basso che ha al suo interno ulteriori due tasche con chiusura a cerniera, e alcuni taschini aperti per penne e piccoli dispositivi come cellulari o powerbank. Inoltre, lo schienale é apribile, e contiene due tasche per PC e tablet, oltre ad un altra ampia tasca con copertura a rete e chiusura con cerniera, che sembra poter contenere agevolmente documenti o un quaderno, oltre a cavi per la ricarica dei dispositivi, ad esempio. Quindi la versatilità é completa, inoltre i tessuti sembrano robusti, e impermeabili (non é presente una copertura di protezione, questo mi lascia sperare che lo zaino regga un po’ d'acqua, visto il costo dello stesso). Gli spallacci sono confortevoli, imbottiti e ben profilati, presente inoltre una cintura lombare per quando si viaggia carichi. Il look non appariscente trovo sia un vantaggio quando si porta addosso qualche migliaio di euro in attrezzature varie, quindi per me é un plus non indifferente. Decisamente promosso!
