Important Notes
The Thule Aion Backpack is made with 100% recycled polyester and a PFC-free water-resistant coating, aligning with sustainable manufacturing practices. The waxed canvas fabric is intentionally designed to have a broken-in appearance right out of the box, and slight variations in color or surface marks are normal and part of the fabric’s character. Actual material appearance may vary due to the nature of the waxed canvas treatment. The Thule Aion Sling Bag is sold separately and must be purchased if you wish to use it as a hip belt or additional carry option. Care should be taken to maintain the water-resistant properties; clean the TPU divider regularly to prevent buildup. This backpack is imported and constructed with high-quality, durable materials intended for long-term use.
