Active Junky sent Capstone 32L to the Swiss Alps, hauled by a discerning mountain guide. After weeks of trekking, guiding and mountaineering, she dubbed it a “phenomenal tool in the Bernese Oberland.” Thule’s proprietary suspension system and women’s-specific hip belt earned top marks to strike a balance between snug fit (with quick MircoAdjust system) and ample airflow on summer adventures.
Capstone’s capable of heavier loads, no surprise given the pack’s DNA. Unlike competitors’ offerings, Thule’s glow-in-the-dark, burly zippers flowed smoothly while the convenient rain fly pouch proved lifesaving in summer downpours. Our tester’s favorite feature? “The exterior stretchy pouch. It’s been super-useful for rock gear, drying socks and the delicate transportation of fresh delicious Swiss bread.
