Thule Crossover 32L Backpack
Customer Reviews:* As far as someone who owns computer backpacks I am definitely not average. Due to a combination of work and generous people who think a computer backpack would be the ideal gift for me, I have a LOT of them. But none of them cost well over a hundred bucks. Can this one be worth that much?The first thing I want to say immediately is for the amount of gear this bag holds it is remarkably compact. Another way of putting it is that Thule are genuses at efficient design. I can safely say I am more pleased with the various pockets and places this bag has than any other I own.This bag is totally "today" in that it has protected zones for not only a laptop but a tablet or BOTH, instantly making it my #1 choice for overnight trips or to be used in addition to other luggage for longer trips.Two of the most impressive features are the hard-shell accessory pouch at the top, a great place to store those expensive sunglasses or other breakables, and the Shove It pocket, which is essentially a large open area between the front and the back of the bag where you can throw a newspaper, sandwich, sweater, ballcap, whatever for instant access. A word of caution though, anything thrown in there is subject to falling out ... the two side cinches only partially pull the pocket shut. I've never seen another bag with either of these two features.The zippered clothing compartment is big enough for a change of clothes, some swim shorts and maybe another pair of shoes. Watch the video on this page, it does a great job of showing off all of these pockets.The little pocket on the very bottom is also a nice touch for things like chargers for your laptop or cell phone.Since I just got the bag I can't say how long it will last but the construction quality is undeniably first class. If I rank the bag on two things - versatility and quality of construction - that will answer my initial question if it's worth it. The answer is yes.The final thing that is important to most of us is how does it look? Well, it won't win any awards for cutting edge styling, it is low-key and basic black but it's one of those items that it only takes one look at to think "classy".If backpacks are part of your daily life style why go cheap? I could not be happier than with the Thule Crossover. Maybe I'll start giving my other backpacks away ;-) * Pros:- Quality is top notch.- Bag is extremely roomy. With the laptop area separated from the main storage compartment there is room for either your lunch, or if you're traveling a set of shoes and clothes.- Protective area for eye classes is a good idea.- chest strap secures bag so you can run through the airport or chase after a train.Cons:- There is a large slot that you use to stow odd items like a newspaper, a jacket etc. Unfortunately this slot is not sealable with a zipper and so if you are walking in the rain and your umbrella does not extend far back enough, you will find water filling that slot with no place to go since there is no drainage hole on the bottom.-I would have liked to see the side pouches zippered so I can use them to stick in an umbrella or spare change when I have to rush through airport security. Summary:Perfect bag, very nice looking and made of quality material. Good for frequent travelers who can stuff it with clothing and take it as a carry-on bag. Roomy and will hold around 20-30 pounds of clothing.
