Thule is one of the best-known car accessory names around, but its been busy in the travel market too, crafting a range of bags for people on the go.
The latest crop includes the ingeniously designed Paramount 24-litre Daypack, which is ideal for slinging in the passenger footwell. It has zip and rolltop access to protect against the elements and is made from water-resistant 420D nylon. Its standout features are the two big side-zips, making it far easier to extricate items as you go along. It’s light but capacious. Around £100 online.
The other new bag from Thule — the Crossover — not only sounds like a vehicle, but actually has tough, oversized wheels, bringing it closer to the firm’s car base. It can be wheeled or worn backpack-style. Complete with laptop pouch, it has a telescopic handle and water-resistant finish. Around £250 online (thule.com).
