Review: Capstone 32L Daypack from Thule

I am reviewing the Capstone 32 Liter Thule daypack for men.  This is a daypack suitable for long day hikes.  It is especially good if you have a lot of equipment to carry. There are two large compartments to haul your gear. One compartment is open so you get items very fast.

Storage:
Beside the two large compartments the pack has a smaller compartment near the top that can hold smaller items such as: flashlight, headlamp, gloves, food etc. This compartment has a key holder, so your keys are secure.

There's also a side compartment on the waistbelt that holds smaller items. The other side of the waistbelt has a holder for hiking poles. It's called a VersaClick. 
 
Note: This holder would be good for trail hikes, not scrambling hikes. The poles would hit the rock. 
There are two angled mesh pockets for water bottles. The angle makes it very easy to grab the water bottles. 

The Fit:
These daypacks are customizable using the MicroAdjust suspension system.  The pack actually adjust to your height! This ensures a good fit. It also has a tension mesh back panel that allows air to flow between the pack and your body. This helps keep you cool, which in turn, means you will not need to drink as much water.

Extras:
The pack comes with a highly visible raincover that will keep the pack and contents dry and can double as a visible signal for Search N Rescue. 
​
The top handle is separated into three sections. The main handle is used to pick up the pack and the two side handles can have equipment attach to them such as a carabiner and a lanyard (keep hats from blowing away).

Daypack full of gear

These daypacks do not come with a bladder, but they have a sleeve for a bladder and a hole marked by a blue icon where the hose goes through. 
The chest strap is height adjustable. 
All the zippers have bright yellow pull tabs, which makes it very easy to find and use the zippers.

Wish List:
I wish the pack had a few more small compartments to help arrange gear. The shoulder straps could be padded a bit more and the zippers could be beefier. 

STATS:
Volumn: 32 L
​Dimensions: 10.2 x 13 x 22.8
Weight: 2.55 lbs
​Model number: 224101

Conclusion:
This is a good pack for longer hikes and hikes you need to carry a lot of equipment (ropes etc.). The Micro adjustment guarantees a good fit, there's lots of room for equipment, the mesh back panel keeps you cool and the built-in raincover will keep the pack and equipment dry.
