Comprehensive Thule Backpack
Featuring a water-resistant 420D nylon exterior with YKK zippers and reflective accents, the Thule Paramount Backpack is perfectly suited to hard-wearing work, travel, and everyday use.
In the well-cushioned storage sleeves, you can keep a 15.6-inch laptop and a 10.5-inch tablet safe. With both a top-loading entrance point and a side zipper port, there are two ways to access the laptop and main compartment.
The main compartment is assembled with a secure mesh pocket as well as two cushioned, divider pockets for files. Additionally, a quick-access utility pocket, a front pocket with a secure magnetic flap clasp, and a concealed rear panel pocket provide further accessory storage.
With a cushioned, air mesh back panel engineered for ventilation and breathability, you can travel in comfort. Moreover, the slide pocket on the shoulder strap makes it simple to carry and quickly access a train card on your way to work.
Finally, enhanced weather protection is provided by the magnetic flap, which can be secured in a variety of settings to protect the main compartment of the Paramount Backpack.
