Thule Crossover 2 Laptop Backpack, 30L

This THULE backpack delivers incredible quality, most notably the laptop area and the crush proof compartment. Lots of very well thought out features. The more you use it the more you discover. Once you have a THULE backpack it is hard to imagine living without one.

The bag has nice features however, the bag was way too structured and heavy. If youre a high school or college student, would not recommend.

Awesome product

This backpack is amaizing. Quality and feel is awesome. It fits 16 inch MacBook.

This backpack replaces a Tumi messenger bag that Ive been using for many years. The Thule is an upgrade in every possible way. First, I love Thules stuff. Ive used their bike racks and other outdoor products for many years. We even have a nice Thule stroller that we love. So I didnt hesitate to try out this backpack. I like that it offers all of the form and more function than my old Tumi, without the vague whiff of overbranding on something bought from the local mall. Second, the construction on this bag is top notch. When I opened it there wasnt a single stray stitch to be found or a single seam that doesnt appear to be heavily reinforced. The cordura outer fabric feels properly heavy duty and--given my experience with the material--I fully expect that it will last for many, many years of daily use while showing little to no wear. The zippers seem to be overbuilt YKK units that are sewn into the bag very well. Additional features such as the built-in rubber rails, make it clear that this is a well engineered bag. Third, this bag is perfectly organized and presentable as my main business case. Im a professional who travels back and forth to an office daily and for business on regular air and rail trips. The basic black finish is all-business and gives me all of the good function of carrying my Osprey day pack without the loud outdoorsy aesthetics. The bag has great structure and never looks floppy and deflated like so many other backpacks. The bag is also perfectly organized for business. Sure it holds a laptop, notebooks, pens and etc. with great organization and padding. But lots of bags do that. What really stands out to me is the rigid upper compartment for my sunglasses. Its such a clever use of the space and I dont think I could go back to just hoping my glasses survive floating around the bottom of a backpack in a flimsy glasses case. Lots of other options are clearly just as well thought out. For example, the abilty to attach the bag to a rolling suitcase handle is missing on far too many businesses cases and almost every travel backpack Ive tried. One word of caution. The straps come out of the package very stiff. They break in quite well, but you have to give it a bit of time. Before that they sit kind of funny on your shoulders. Power through it for a bit and youll have a great bag that should serve you well for many years.

Space / storage is not as big as mentioned. Extremely rigid design and several flaws in top pocket design. The zipper damages internal space edges of the top pocket.

I wish it was a tad larger, but it utilizes space well so I can fit a ton in it. Nice and light, easy to carry. It does have little dots all over it, but I like them. Only main concern is they put rubber skid runners on the front for protection, hope they do not peel off. However, there is nothing on the bottom of the bag when you sit it down. It does stay upright which is nice when you do set it down. Pretty pricey, and almost perfect.

Its rigid which would lend itself to standing up on its own but the bottom is beveled to make certain out usually falls over. Why? Stupid design. Otherwise good quality construction but also not very accessible pockets and cavities.

Love this bag. Use it for my flight back so it gets thrown around quite a bit and holds its form, protecting sunglasses and electronics well.

I liked the glasses pocket. I liked how it stood up. I liked the organization in the front pocket. I detested the copious deep pockets for storing electronics, there were like, 5. And no where to separate out bulky items. My stuff would get caught on the deep pockets when I just wanted to put a stack of papers, a book and a clipboard in my backpack and go someplace. As well, the super structured case made it hard to see inside. In the end I returned it because it made so much noise. The zippers are loud to zip, which is fine. But just walking around a library I would get embarrassed because they were so clacky. clack clack clack. Drove me nuts. I returned it, got the SubTerra 25L, love it. Its nice and quiet, the deep zipper on the main pocket lets me organize whats in my bag. There are still 2 separated areas for a laptop and a tablet. Totes fits my needs. I do miss the nice organized front pocket on the Crossover 2.
