Thule | The Era of Suspension: Big Backpacks Aren’t All-Powerful

Last updated 2026-11-08 — If you can’t quickly find what you need in a critical moment, no matter how big your backpack is, it’s all for nothing. Thule’s 23L Enroute features an extra-wide U-shaped opening that gives you a clear view of everything inside. No more digging around.

Backpacks come in many sizes—20L, 30L, 35L… While larger packs can carry more, experience over the years will teach you: a big size doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.

— Why do people carry backpacks to work?

This question may sound philosophical, but it’s actually quite simple. We carry things to the office—from wallets and keys to tissues and laptops.

At Thule, we often see colleagues carrying huge backpacks to work, only to find them empty enough to rattle.

If you can’t quickly find what you need when it matters, a big backpack is just dead weight.

Don’t be stubborn—once you try a smaller pack, you’ll be saying “I’m hooked.”

This season, outdoor brand Thule recommends six small-capacity backpacks ranging from 14L to 23L.

Thule ENROUTE 23L

Only when you turn your backpack inside out do you realize: oh, I actually had this thing in here, but couldn’t find it no matter how hard I searched. Plenty of people have had that experience.

The 23L Thule Enroute isn’t just compact in capacity—it also has a wide opening.

Its extra-large U-shaped opening gives you a full view of everything inside. No more rummaging around.

Your glasses and phone get princess-level care too.

The padded internal pocket fits a 15.6-inch laptop and a 10-inch tablet, meeting most people’s work needs.

Compact in size yet equipped with thick shoulder straps and an insulated back panel.

Made with 330D mini-ripstop nylon and 600D polyester fabric. Small in stature but uncompromising on function and materials—that’s the Thule Enroute 23L backpack.

* Also available in 14L.

Thule LITHOS 20L

Go big on the opening so you don’t have to dig around in your bag. Naturally includes padded pockets for your laptop and tablet.

Compartments for keys, pens, and phones are as easy to access as opening a zipper on your clothes.

The comfort of the shoulder straps speaks for itself—you don’t need a ruler to know they’re made with quality materials.

The strap management system, which safely and neatly coils excess straps, further highlights the thoughtful craftsmanship of a big brand making small backpacks.

* Also available in 16L.


Thule ACCENT 23L

It also includes the previously mentioned SafeZone and padded laptop/tablet protection.

Its standout feature is spacious side pockets, with large mesh dividers to organize small items and prevent internal clutter.

The detachable back panel also allows it to merge with a suitcase for easier travel. No need to carry the 23L yourself.

Also available in 20L and 28L.

From today, step into the era of small backpacks and enjoy their compact convenience.
