📱Re-review of Thule's Atmos X3

Today I dropped my phone down a flight of stairs, again.  Not on purpose you understand, my hands were full and I was performing an amazing juggling act with my school bag, flask, keys, my coat tucked under my arm and of course my phone.  Then it all went pear shape and I watched in slow motion as …..

Thule Subterra Carry-On 22"

On the outside there’s 2 oversized wheels that are designed to work on all surfaces. I’ve already mentioned the very sturdy V-Tubing telescoping handles,  but what I didn’t say is that it’s very easy to use and has a button built into both sides of the non-slip grip and slides up and down into the locked fixed position smoothly……

Thule Subterra MacBook Attaché 13”

Like all Thule products, someone has sat down and actually thought about its design, and subsequently, the Subterra Attaché is a brilliant piece of kit for anyone who has to carry a laptop around, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Starting at the front, unzip the full width pocket and you will find enough space for an iPad or a diary.  There’s 2 mesh pockets that are attached to

Thule Vectros 13" MacBook Pro Retina Bumper

When you’ve invested around £1400 on a pretty swanky new MacBook Pro, and you are a bit clumsy (like the Muddy Madam and me), or you have kids that use your MacBook, you definitely want to consider one of these!

Accidents happen, they always will.  I’ve honestly lost count of how many people I know who’ve dropped their brand new phone or iPad only days after they’ve bought them……

Thule atmos X3 Case

Thule describes this case for the Phone 6 as an Ultra Tough Slim Case, and after a couple of months testing I can wholeheartedly agree.

It is very easy to put on, but isn't easy to take off, but then again, why would you want to? The bevelled edges make it very comfortable to hold, and the rubberised side panels make it feel secure; it would….

Thule Atmos X5

Over the years I've had quite a few different cases for my iPhones, all of which have been used and abused, but more importantly, have protected my hundreds of pound investment. 

Having bought outright an iPhone 6s earlier last year, I again wanted to protect it, and Thule was the first company that sprung to mind for 2 reasons.  The first being that I haven't used their case before, and secondly, I'm currently using….

Thule Covert DSLR Messenger Bag

I’ve been using the Kata 3n1-33 camera backpack, and although it fulfilled most of my needs, I found it quite cumbersome, especially when walking around crowded shows.  What I really wanted was something that I could carry over the shoulder in a messenger bag kind of way, which was tough and water resistant.

Cutting a long story short, I found that Thule aren't just renowned for supplying….

Thule Portage Canoe Carrier

Thule don’t just produce roof bars, they have a huge collection of accessories that make transporting bikes, extra luggage and so on much easier and safer, and that’s where their 819 Portage kit comes fits in.  It really is a must for anyone who transports their canoe on a standard roof bar system.

Granted, I could use a bunch load of rope and some straps to tie Wenona down, but as…..

Thule Rapid Roof System

If you've perused this website I'm sure that you will noticed that I have a thing for Thule (pronounced ‘Toolay’), not only are their products dependable, but in my experience they last. 

I wanted to fit a roof system for Deux Smurf not because I'm going to be carrying stuff on the roof everyday, rather to carry the canoe around, and maybe the odd pair of ladders.

I ordered Thule’s Rapid System Foot Pack Kit……

Thule Roof System

For those of us who don’t need a full expedition roof rack on our 4x4's, yet still need to carry a variety of gubbins on the roof, the obvious solution is a set of roof bars, and in my experience, nothing is quite as sturdy as Thule. (Pronounced Toolay btw).

Decades ago I bought a pair of lockable Thule roof bars for my old ’74 Range Rover, they were brilliant and I still …….
