Using this Thule Subterra 2 convertible pack is easy. You can choose to carry it as a duffel by slinging it over your shoulder, or if you prefer, extend the stowable backpack straps and wear it like a backpack. When traveling with your laptop, simply take out the removable attaché and use it separately or place it inside the bag to keep your laptop safe. To organize your items, use the fold - flat divider in the main packing area to separate things like shoes and clothes. As for maintenance, make sure to clean it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the bluesign certified materials. When not in use, store it in a cool and dry place to keep its shape and quality.
