Which, when you think about it, makes sense since they specialise in solutions for load carrying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when the nice people at Thule offered us the chance to test their Capstone 32L pack, we were excited to see if Thule\u2019s reputation for durable, high-quality vehicle accessories would translate into the world of outdoor kit. Plus, Thule is a Swedish company (from Malm\u00f6 in the far south of Sweden), and we do have a soft spot for Nordic gear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-7.jpg\" alt=\"The Capstone fits easily as hand-luggage.\" class=\"wp-image-838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-7.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-7-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>The Capstone fits easily as hand-luggage. Photo: Sofia Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We received the male version of the Capstone pack (there\u2019s a female fit also) and decided to put it to the test in both \u201ctown\u201d and \u201ccountry\u201d settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initial impressions were of a very smart-looking pack that seemed like it was built to last (the zips for example are great \u2013 I\u2019m a bit fussy about my zips\u2026). Like the country it comes from, it\u2019s not brash or flashy, but has an air of understated quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Town:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First up was a private (rather than work-related) \u201chand-luggage\u201d only weekend citybreak to Warsaw in April to visit a friend. We were flying Ryanair, and given their reputation for being rather strict with staying within their luggage limits, we figured it would be a good test of the Capstone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-3.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring the delights of Warsaw in early spring.\" class=\"wp-image-834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Exploring the delights of Warsaw in early spring. Photo: Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Capstone was the only luggage I was taking, and I had no problem getting all the normal stuff in. In fact I had bit of space left over to fit in a couple of small souvenirs on the return flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I packed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Underwear and socks for three nights<\/li><li>Toiletries and small travel medical kit<\/li><li>One pair of trousers<\/li><li>One light sweatshirt<\/li><li>One light base-layer shirt<\/li><li>One t-shirt<\/li><li>Mobile and charger<\/li><li>Camera and charger<\/li><li>Glasses case<\/li><li>Passport<\/li><li>Wallet<\/li><li>Small packable daypack<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjustable back systems on a pack of this size aren\u2019t that common, and at first I wondered if this would be a bit unnecessary for a 32L pack given that the weight carried will never be that much. But the adjustment is quick and easy and I did actually find it made a difference to the overall comfort \u2013 plus it makes it easy to share your pack with a shorter or taller friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-1.jpg\" alt=\"Is Warsaw this sunny all the time?\" class=\"wp-image-832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Is Warsaw this sunny all the time? Photo: Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The top pocket is perfect for quick-access items when travelling such as your liquids for airport security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also liked the \u201cshove-it pocket\u201d (good name!) at the front which, as the term suggests, is meant for storing bulky items such as your jacket on the outside of the pack where they can be easily reached. Although it hasn\u2019t rained yet while we\u2019ve been using the pack, there is also an integral (and hi-visibility \u2013 good for cycling perhaps) raincover, which is a nice touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The side mesh pockets are great for a water bottle and can be accessed as you\u2019re walking without taking the pack off (some other packs place them annoyingly too far back just out of reach). The demo video shows the button hole webbing in the side of the pack being used to attach a waterbottle with a carabiner. Personally, I\u2019m not a fan of hanging items off the side of a pack to bump around, but this is of course a personal thing and it\u2019s nice to have the option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the Capstone worked really well as the only bag necessary for a short trip of this kind. Just the right size to bring everything you need and stay within the hand luggage limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Country:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After the glorious sunshine of Poland in early spring, it was a change of scenery for the Capstone to be taken on a 10-day work trip to the mountains of Norway, travelling between Oslo and Bergen by train and doing various activities in between. Here, winter was lingering even longer than normal and there was still plenty of snow around in the mountains even in early May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-6.jpg\" alt=\"With its generous sizing, the Capstone makes a good winter daypack.\" class=\"wp-image-837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-6.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-6-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>With its generous sizing, the Capstone makes a good winter daypack. Photo: Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This time it was Sofia\u2019s turn to try the pack, taking it as hand luggage and for use as a daypack during the activities in combination with a larger holdall as checked baggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Capstone is part of Thule\u2019s \u201cHiking Backpack\u201d range and so predictably is more suited to outdoor use than being an everyday about-town or going-to-the-office pack. The breathable back definitely makes a difference when you\u2019re being active, considerably reducing sweaty-back syndrome, but on the other hand making it less easy to carry a laptop or keep documents flat (but there\u2019s a dedicated range of \u201cLaptop Backpacks\u201d too for more urban applications).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-2.jpg\" alt=\"Any piece of luggage which fits well in a dogsled goes down well with us!\" class=\"wp-image-833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Any piece of luggage which fits well in a dogsled goes down well with us! Photo: Sofia Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Sofia\u2019s itinerary required being out and about during the day in winter conditions, so carrying bulkier items than you\u2019d take in summer, the 32L capacity of the Capstone worked really well as a daypack for the tour as a whole and especially for the snowshoeing and dog sledding components of the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-4.jpg\" alt=\"Any bones in there?

The Thule Capstone 32l is eyed enviously but one of Sofia&#8217;s huskies! Photo: Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One more unusual feature of the Capstone is the \u201cVersaclick\u201d hip belt feature. As standard, this comes with an attachment for carrying hiking poles. Personally, we weren\u2019t sure about carrying poles horizontally in that way, though it could work well provided you\u2019ve got plenty of space around you to avoid poking your fellow hikers. That said, poles or an ice-axe can also be attached to loops at the back to carry vertically if you prefer and there\u2019s a range of other \u201cVersaclick\u201d accessories such as camera holders to purchase separately, which might prove more useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-5.jpg\" alt=\"Enjoying the views on a snowshoe tour.\" class=\"wp-image-836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-5.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thule-backpack-32l-5-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Enjoying the views on a snowshoe tour. Photo: Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We also didn\u2019t find we used the small zip pocket in the hip belt \u2013 it didn\u2019t seem quite big enough for the things we may have wanted to have there like a phone or wallet, but could be useful for snack bars or maybe a set of keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Capstone 32L is a really solid and comfortable pack and ideal for being your only bag on a \u201chand-luggage only\u201d short break or as a daypack for a day activity in the outdoors when you need to bring a reasonable amount with you (extra clothes, thermos\/packed lunch, etc). The 32L model is a little too large for some daypack applications, but there\u2019s also a 22L version available if you want something smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retailing at around \u00a399 (though currently available for just \u00a375 or so from some outlets, which is a bit of a bargain we think), the Capstone is not a cheap pack, but we firmly believe that it\u2019s well worth investing in quality outdoor gear that is going to last \u2013 the Capstone appears very well-made and feels like it should give years of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We liked it! We\u2019re also going to be trying out the larger 50L version of the Capstone on a trip to the Stockholm archipelago in June, so watch this space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best regards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bob &amp; Sofia from the Nature Travels Team<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like a Capstone of your very own, they are available from the following retailers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldoutdoor.com\/\">Cotswold Outdoor<\/a> (Nature Travels guests receive a discount of 15% on standard prices)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.absolute-snow.co.uk\/\">Absolute Snow<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob and Sofia from the Nature Travels Team try out the Capstone 32L backpack from Swedish manufacturer Thule on a weekend leisure trip to Poland and a short dogsled tour in Norway.
