Full Review

Jet-setting goals? There’s a pack for that. We review plenty of bags here at Pack Hacker, but the Thule Landmark 40L is designed specifically for traveling around the world—so you know we had to check it out. Thule describes the Landmark as a “travel pack ready for several months of passport-stamped adventures” with key features like a detachable daypack and built-in safety components.

That’s a pretty big promise, so we’ve been anxious to get our hands on this carry-on-sized travel pack for a while now—especially when you consider how much we loved the Thule Subterra 34L , one of our top-rated packs.

But does the Landmark perform as well as its sibling, the Subterra? We’ve been testing it almost daily for three weeks and we’re ready to tell you everything we’ve learned. Let’s get into it!

Materials & Aesthetic

First things first, let’s talk options. The Thule Landmark is available in both a 60 and 70 liter version in addition to the 40 liter pack that we’ve been testing. They’re all pretty similar; however, the 60 and 70 liter versions come with a detachable day pack on the front. That’s not usually our style, since we prefer the one-bag carry-on approach, but it’s there if you want it.

We should also just take a second to clarify that a 70 (and 60, for that matter) liter backpack is truly massive. It’s definitely not going to work as a carry-on bag, and it’s not going to be something you casually walk around with. We rarely feel the need to use packs over 40 liters, even for perpetual travel, but your mileage may vary.

A unique option on the Thule Landmark is that each size comes in either a men’s or women’s fit. The differences between them are slight changes in the harness system, which affect the way the bag carries. That’s not an option you see every day on a travel pack, and we like that Thule went in this direction to make the bag even more customizable for the right fit.

With its sleek and streamlined Scandinavian aesthetic, we’re digging the overall look of the Thule Landmark—however, it does lose a few points in a couple of areas.

The first issue we’ve noticed is the hard-shelled “Safe Zone” at the top of the bag, which looks a bit odd and out of place. Then on the very front of the pack, the fabric can slouch down a bit and become slightly creased even when it’s fully packed. A little bit of creasing isn’t a deal-breaker, but this was probably a design flaw that could have been corrected.

Never content until we get your opinion too, we asked our Instagram audience for some feedback on the look of the Thule Landmark. And the survey says … mixed opinions all around! About 52 percent of respondents liked it and 48 percent didn’t. Ready to be part of future tie-breakers? Join us over on Instagram @packhacker .

Thought we were done talking options? Not quite! When it comes to colors, the Thule Landmark is available in Obsidian and Dark Forest for the men’s version, and Dark Bordeaux and Majolica Blue for the women’s version. Why not the same for both—or, better yet, all four colors in either version? We’ve been asking ourselves that, too. It would have been nice, but in the meantime we’ll have to work with what they’ve got. We do like the muted tones and darker colors, since they typically perform better as travel bags by hiding scuffs and other marks.

From a branding perspective, it’s what you’d probably expect if you’re familiar with Thule. You’ll find a logo on the front of the pack—just like all of their other gear we’ve tested—and we like this fairly minimal approach. A small logo on the shoulder strap is also featured.

The materials include two different fabrics used on the outside of the pack. Thule went with a 420D Dobby polyester on the front and a 600D polyester on the bottom and back of the bag.

Compared to other travel packs on the market, these two fabrics are relatively thin materials. And while polyester isn’t necessarily bad, we typically prefer nylon for its greater strength. The pack has been holding up all right for now, apart from a few scuffs on the top of the Safe Zone area, but it is a pack for hauling from country to country, after all. Could Thule have used something better—an 800D nylon like on the Subterra 34L, for example—to make it more durable? Absolutely. But again, it’s tough to beat one of our top-rated packs.

On a better note, Thule hasn’t cut any corners with the hardware. The Landmark features YKK zippers and Duraflex buckles, which are ideal since both manufacturers make some of the best hardware available on the market and they’ve always performed well in our testing.

External Components

With a travel pack that promises to take you around the world comfortably, there’s no doubt you’ll need a solid harness system. The adjustable shoulder straps on the Thule Landmark are curved and densely padded, but we’ve found the side of the straps to be a bit hard. They don’t necessarily dig in, but they could certainly be improved for a more comfortable fit.

The back panel is padded and stiff, which makes it comfortable and prevents it from slouching down your back. That said, there’s very little ventilation here. While this isn’t a huge problem—back sweat is pretty much inevitable in most instances—just keep this in mind if you’ll be traveling anywhere hot and humid.

The Thule Landmark also comes with a detachable sternum strap. This sounds great in theory, but it’s unfortunately a bit too detachable. The strap works well while it’s locked in, but we were constantly worrying about it falling off when it wasn’t. We’re not exactly surprised about this, since the same thing has happened on other packs we’ve tested with similar sternum strap attachments.

The pack includes a hip belt, which is padded and provides a significant comfort boost when the pack is fully loaded. The hip belt helps to shift most of the weight from your shoulders to your hips, and you can’t beat that. Plus, you can hide it away when not in use. On the other hand, when each side is pushed all the way in, it can bulk up a bit and dig into your lower back.

The shoulder straps on the Thule Landmark can be stowed away, too. We think this is another nice touch, and the whole system is slick and easy to use. Overall, the Thule Landmark carry is okay, but it’s certainly nothing special for a one-bag travel pack that will see a ton of use—especially if you’ll be carrying it for long stretches while traveling.

Grab handles are found on the top and right-hand side of the pack. Neither are particularly comfortable (where’s that padding when you need it?) but they’re easy to grab and super-functional: you’ll surely use the top handle for hanging the pack up and the side handle comes in handy (ha) for snatching it out of an airplane overhead bin.

Finally, the zippers on the Thule Landmark have a few nifty features that you should know about. You can attach the zipper pulls to the outside of the bag, and the Safe Zone zippers at the top of the pack can be looped around a small attachment point. The main compartment zipper pulls can also be secured by passing one of the buckles through them and securing it in place. None of these aspects will necessarily stop someone from breaking into your bag, but they offer a solid deterrent. Plus, the main compartment zippers have a hole through which you can pass a padlock, making them completely secure. (Okay, you could argue that nothing is “completely” secure, but this is pretty solid in our eyes.)

Inside The Pack

Moving inside the pack, let’s take a closer look at that potentially troublesome Safe Zone compartment at the top. It is designed to hold valuables and its unique hard-shelled exterior should have no problem keeping them safe and secure.

Inside the top flap of the Safe Zone, a mesh compartment is available with some pen holders in front. The other side of the compartment has zippered access to two additional mesh sleeves and a key clip. We really like that Thule has tried something new with the Safe Zone compartment, but unfortunately we just don’t think it panned out in this case since it’s not quite necessary and also looks a little strange. Depending on how you plan to use this pack, though, it could be a major benefit.

Moving down the side of the pack, a sleek side water bottle pocket is hidden away by a zipper. This is honestly one of the best side pockets we’ve seen in a pack we’ve tested, so we’re pretty geeked about it. We like that it’s hidden when not in use, yet super useful and functional when needed.

To access the main compartment of the Thule Landmark, you’ll first need to undo all four buckles and unzip the entire front of the bag. Time-consuming, yes—but you’ll get slightly quicker with practice.

Once you’re inside, you’ll be greeted with one large bucket. As always, we highly recommend using packing cubes and pouches inside a large compartment like this. Otherwise, compression straps are available to hold everything down.

On the top flap, a zippered mesh sleeve is good for holding smaller and flatter gear and a covert cash-stash pocket is hidden at the top of this compartment (you wouldn’t know it’s there if you weren’t told about it—which is exactly the point!).

While this hidden pocket is a great place to put your cash and your passport, just remember that the access isn’t quick; if you’re going through an airport, for example, you’ll want to have your passport within easier reach.

Wrapping up the internal components, you’ll find a laptop compartment at the back of the Thule Landmark that can fit a 15-inch laptop (even with a sleeve on), and there’s even a pocket for a tablet (a 12.9-inch iPad Pro fits). The laptop area is a floating compartment, which is something we always appreciate in a pack that’ll be carrying your most expensive gear inside. The “floating” feature means the laptop space ends about an inch above the bottom of the bag—so if you drop the pack, your laptop should be just fine.

Durability & Testing

At the time of this review, we’ve been testing the Thule Landmark 40L around Detroit, Michigan for three weeks. The components and build-quality are great, which is exactly what we’d expect from Thule. But the thin polyester material—which makes up most of the pack’s exterior—gives us some pause. Especially since we found some scuffs and marks on the top Safe Zone compartment after only three weeks of use.

Beyond that, a small piece of stitching at the bottom of the pack’s laptop compartment keeps causing the zipper to get stuck. While this could technically happen at any stage, it’s frustrating and tends to be a sign of wear.

In testing, we’ve found the Thule Landmark 40L to be a welcomed addition to the adventure travel backpack market. Competing directly with the likes of the Osprey Farpoint , Osprey Fareview and the Eagle Creek Global Companion . However, while there are some unique and handy features, we were left wanting a bit more from this brand that has otherwise excelled with the other products we’ve tested to date.

Usage Timeline

Condition: Excellent

• Really excited to get testing this bag, it has a ton of potential!
• Digging the pockets and hard shelled “SafeZone” at the top.
• It’s smaller than we expected, but it’s still plenty big enough for one bag travel.

Loving this water bottle pocket but the pack is overall a bit time-consuming to access.

Condition: Good

Noticing some fabric fraying and scuffs; otherwise holding up well.

Review Summary

What do you think about this product?

October 7, 2023

From Spain to Skokie’s to Nepal to Skaha bluffs

Bought this so I could use as carry on with daypack separated. No issues to Europe or Asia also used as an outdoor climbing bag for gear. Great bag as straps hide. My only suggestion would be for a waist strap for daypack but I just bought one and added clips.

Great value

nothing is perfect but so far I can't complain about the 60L backpack. Gave it a test run while hiking and its comfortable and pretty handy. Would recommend it hands on

August 21, 2023

First Impression

Have yet to put this item to use, but plan on taking it on our upcoming trip to Iceland next month. I have already packed most of what I will be needing. Between my carryon suitcase and this back pack, I have more than enough packing space! My favorite feature is the day bag that attaches to the front of the main back pack. This will be perfect for day hikes to store water and lunches in without having to carry the full backpack and add the extra unnecessary weight. Material seems to be durable and water resistant, which is exactly what I need for the type of traveling I will be doing.

Superior Design and Quality

Every centimeter of the Thule Landmark backpack is designed and crafted with intelligent thoroughness. All the people who brought this product idea to fruition deserves an instant bonus and/or promotion. There is no backpack I’ve owned that is as exceptional as this product. The first brilliant innovation, the dual-pack system which can attach to both back and front, is not only aesthetically awesome, but also very useful for times I don’t need to carry many things with me. I love every aspect of the design. It is obvious upon the first few moments of examining the bag that a lot of effort went into this product, and the quality speaks for itself. The zipper locks, the hardtop case for electronics and sunglasses, the backpack strap pockets which buckles tuck into, the quality of materials, and the way in which everything seamlessly fits together is amazing to me. I’ve owned Osprey and Eagle Creek bags (which are not companies to scoff at), but Thule really outdid themselves with this product design. I am very satisfied with my purchase, and look forward to everything else they have in store for the future. Please keep up the phenomenal work!! Merry Christmas and may God bless your team.

Awesome Warranty!!

I researched bags for our upcoming Europe trip for quite some time and Thule was always my top pick. I bought 5 of these bags for a bucket list trip to Europe for my family. When I received my order, one of the zippers on the small pack was broke. I sent a warranty request in. They ended up sending me a complete set, the 40L and the 20L. AWESOME!! So happy with my purchase and can't wait to use them in the UK and France over Xmas 2022. Thank you so much again Thule!!

Great for travel.

Perfect size and very accommodating for traveling abroad. With all the pockets and zipper tie downs, all the strap stow aways. I was able to feel comfortable and safe traveling with money passports and visas through Vietnam and South Korea

April 21, 2022

3 months in South America revealed shortcomings

I traveled for 3 months with this backpack. Good parts: - It has a nice muted style without too many straps hanging around, if that's important to you (it was to me). - It's roomy. I was able to pack for hot & cold weather, for hiking and going out in cities. - Never a problem bringing the 40L on a flight as a carry-on, even when a gate agent would ask to inspect it beforehand. Shortcomings I found: - The "CashStash" compartment inside the 40L is where you're supposed to fit things like your passport and your emergency money. It's impossible to get to and slide your hand into once your bag is packed. I ended up using the "CashStash" of the 20L exclusively, as it is accessible from the outside of the bag (this only works if your 20L isn't packed inside your 40L). - When laid horizontally on the ground, the part of the 40L that touches the floor is the same one that you wear on your back. Unlike the Osprey Farpoint, there is no cover you can zip up over the shoulder straps when not in use/as a floor protection. Now imagine wanting to change clothes in an airport bathroom stall when the floor tiles are a little bit wet... - A feature is the ability to tuck away the shoulder straps & hip belts when not in use. This is too challenging to do when the bag is packed, as you're trying to jam the straps between two compressed layers of bag material. It's also difficult to fold/tuck the left & right sides in the same manner, leading to uneven "bumps" in the bag surface (uncomfortable when worn). I ended up keeping the straps loose for 3 months as a result. - The main bag has an externally-accessible side pocket that Thule claims can hold a water bottle. The problem is that the pocket digs into the bag's contents, and if the bag is anywhere near full, the pocket can't "dig" and you can't use it. - The chest straps can't be attached securely to the shoulder straps (a very baffling design choice). Reviews had mentioned this- I naively thought I would simply pay extra attention to not losing them. Yet I did... on my second day traveling. As the backpack combo comes with 2 pairs (one for each backpack), I ended up stuffing away the remaining pair and only took it out when necessary (annoying). - The 20L lacks ways to organize your stuff inside of it. There's a laptop pouch, and that's it. Anything you put in there like clothes, cables, battery bank, etc. will get jumbled up. - The 20L backpanel isn't breathable at all. Expect to be soaked everywhere the bag makes contact with your body from the lightest 10-min walk. - The "SafeZone" compartment where you're supposed to stash your sunglasses and other fragile items isn't all that strong. I don't know exactly how it broke, but through the course of being handled by myself and bus operators, the top part became soft/not protective anymore. It feels like what happens when you fold a piece of cardboard and then try to straighten it out. - This isn't an advertised feature of the combo, but in case you are wondering like I was prior to purchasing, they are absolutely not waterproof. I quickly learned having to line backpack contents in plastic bags. - Last but not least, the material or construction quality doesn't seem high. See pictures taken on my 5th week traveling.

Double Trouble

I just got this backpack and I think it's the best travel backpack I have ever owned. It is ergonomic and best of all, it has so many compartments literally for anything. I personally like the safety features and the fact that it has an extra backpack. I leave the big one at the hostel and carry the small one when I go sightseeing. I was expecting a darker green color but it still looks good though. Best backpack on a backpack.

The greatest backpack

Traveling I use it which allows no luggage charges

Awesome bag!

A really great bag for travel, keeps things very organized with all of the different compartments. I really like the feature around the bag being able to be used for day trips, versatility is key. Would highly recommend.

Review: Thule Landmark 40L Travel Pack

• May 28, 2019
• Posted by Kendall Giles
• review , thule , landmark , travel , pack , backpack , 40l

I had wanted a carry-on sized backpack for some upcoming longer trips and so I was excited to try the Thule Landmark 40L Travel Pack . This charcoal gray pack, made from tough 420D Dobby polyester and 600D polyester has 40L of volume, has dimensions 9.8 x 13 x 21.5 inches and weighs just 3.17 pounds. In addition to the padded shoulder straps, the bag has top and side carry handles, though the carry handles are really just for convenience–the pack is meant to be worn as a backpack. Note that Thule also has larger models in their Landmark line–in 60L and 70L versions that come with detachable 20L daypacks. My pack, the 40L model, does not include the detachable daypack–it is just one backpack.

The pack is designed with one main storage compartment accessed by a zippered front panel. Inside the main compartment there are two compression straps to keep your clothes in place. The inside of the front panel has a mesh zippered compartment ideal for items such as toiletries.

The lining of the top of the main compartment contains a hidden zippered pocket. This covert pocket is meant to store cash or other items you want to remain hidden from view.

Above the main compartment at the top of the pack is a zippered “safe zone” storage compartment. The rigid access panel is meant to provide protection– the safe zone compartment is best used for storing your glasses, phone, passport, and keys. The inside of the lid of the compartment has mesh storage panels. On the bottom of the compartment is a mesh zippered compartment with mesh pockets and a small clip.

One side of the pack has a zippered compartment with a flexible pocket, ideal for example for holding a water bottle.

The other side of the pack has a zippered compartment meant for laptops and tablets. There is a soft divider allowing you to safely store at least one 15" laptop (probably would even fit a 17" laptop given the extra space around my 15" laptop) and one large (12.9") tablet.

The shoulder straps are contoured and are made to be breathable. I was happy with the thickness and amount of padding in the straps. The shoulder straps also have carabiner attachment points.

In addition to the shoulder straps there is a chest strap with a built-in safety whistle as well as a hip belt for extra support.

The shoulder straps and hip belt can be stored by tucking them into slots in the back panel when not needed. I liked this feature because sometimes all those straps can get in the way.

In addition to the covert pocket in the main compartment, the pack comes with several security features to help keep your belongings protected while on travel. There are four buckles on the front panel that help prevent the front panel zipper from being opened. In addition, loops on the front panel zippers can be threaded through one of the buckles, further securing access to the front panel.

There is another security loop at the top of the pack for the “safe zone” zippers–if you thread the safe zone zipper pulls through the security loop then you can attach a metal lock (not included) through the loop and pulls to keep the safe zone compartment from being opened.

Overall, I am very happy with the Thule Landmark 40L Travel Pack . The bag has a roomy main compartment with enough storage space for an extended trip, yet the pack is small enough to use as carry-on. I also liked the extra security features, which help give peace of mind when traveling through crowded areas such as marketplaces, airports, trains, and city streets. The pack is made from a very durable material, has a sleek look, and I know I’ll be able to take a lot of trips using this backpack.
