Quick run through of the Thule Construct 28L

[@Eirikr83]

Thank you for the packaging demonstration.ordered the one in blue. So how is your opinion after prolonged use? Comfort on the back!

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for checking out the video. This one is actually owned by a good friend of mine and he uses this bag everyday and travels often with it. So far it has been great and reliable as well as holding up well.

Thanks for the review. Trying to decide on Construct 28L vs Subterra 30L. Tough choice!

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for checking out my video! That is a tough choice...I like both bags and they both have some unique features...The Subterra has that side entry for the laptop which is nice as well...but overall I think both bags are super similar and quality backpacks!

[@udim7284]

thanks for the review, have you been using it in the last 4 months? any comments about durability so far?

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video. This bag was my friends bag and he let me do an unboxing and walk through while it was brand new! I can confirm he has been using it everyday for the past 4 months and he travels more than I do, it's getting a lot use.

Great video, thanks mate! Just wondering what your First Aid kit is please?

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my video. I am using a MyMedic Solo kit. I believe MyMedic sells just the bag only now and you have to fill it with your own supplies or buy one of their supply packs separately. mymedic.com/products/solo-bag-only?gclid=CjwKCAjwxaanBhBQEiwA84TVXE2Z3Kw84ny33YtRbdyhUtQMgS1UyM-cYg08EXzJyez8jy9qR9A_QRoCLaUQAvD_BwE

the strap is a compression strap. When the bag is less full, you can snug the strap.

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for checking out the video...yes they are compression straps and work great for adjusting them!

What material is this made out of? Is it 840D Nylon like the Thule Chasm? Or something else?

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video. I couldn't quite determine the exact material. Thule likes to use both 600D and 1680D on their backpacks. It reminded me more of the 600D material I had on my 18L Thule EnRoute from years ago. It has a very slick/water repellant feel to it and seems rather durable. My Friend who let me borrow this for the review has been using it everyday for the past 7-8 months and it's holding up.

[@nazmikaanaksoy9570]

would you recommend Thule construct or subterra for university use with laptop?

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

@@nazmikaanaksoy9570 Thanks…personally I think 28L is a bit big for a daily carry but it really depends on how much you need to carry. At the moment, my everyday bag is a 20L and the they have a Subterra 21L which is really nice, looks great and is more my speed for a small daily bag. That said if you need a larger bag for your daily the Construct 28L is a great choice.

[@nazmikaanaksoy9570]

@@Bowmanthebagguy thanks for reply. You are right 28l is a bit large for daily use. Now I’m between enroute and accent models. What do you think about them

[@juanmanuellopezpinto239]

What king of organizer you showed???? I need one... I bought the backpack and I need this organizer

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my video! That organizer is a Boundary Supply Fieldspace. see link: www.boundarysupply.com/products/fieldspace

[@ithappensjoey]

Did you do another video on this?

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for checking out the video...I did not, this was my friends backpack that he currently uses pretty heavily he told me to use it like normal but I just felt bad using it so much considering it was brand new at the time. If you have any specific questions I'm happy to add him in the comments he is happy to answer questions on it, I do know he is loving it!

[@1FrieK]

Hi, thanks for your review, but does it got some reinforced bottom for the laptop slot? Like false bottom or shock absorbing floor. Thanks!

[@feitnaa]

The laptop bay is padded on the sides and bottom.

[@1FrieK]

@@feitnaa Thank you!

[@Nathjrb]

Do you know if the zips are waterproof? Thanks

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video...Great question! They are not Aqua-guard zippers, pretty standard YKK zips all around on this one. Thule's websites does states "water-resistant materials" but that refers to the fabric possibly a coating as well, but definitely not waterproof on the zips.

[@AnthonyTrombley]

Does the Construct have one or two bottle holders? I can't tell from pictures of there is a pouch above that "stash pocket" as you called it. Thanks!

[@Bowmanthebagguy]

Thanks for checking out the video! It only has one bottle holder pocket and the side with the stash pocket does not have a bottle holder, just the zipper stash pocket.
