During spring touring, the Thule Upslope 35L back panel soaks with sweat easily because it lacks venting. The Thule Upslope 35L organizes equipment across an avalanche compartment, main compartment, oversized waist pockets, and a stretchable goggle compartment. The Thule Upslope 35L avalanche compartment holds a shovel, probe, static rope, space blanket, and assorted ski straps.
The Thule Upslope 35L goggle pocket uses soft lens-cloth-like material that can contact goggles or sunglasses without damage. The Thule Upslope 35L distributes much of its volume toward the waist, helping a fully loaded pack hug the body.
Reported strengths
