Reviews for Thule Crossover Backpack

This is a great compact bag that hold way more than you would expect. The sunglass container is a great feature but it does get in the way a little when you open the main compartment. For me, that's no big deal. It easily hold my 11" Macbook Air, iPad 2, and about 1/2 dozen larger sized books. The secondary compartment has well thought out organizational pockets. The side water bottle holders are a little on the small size but do well with a 20oz. bottle or smaller. I do wish they had a cell phone compartment that had easy access. As it is now you have to take the pack off to unzip and get your phone out. Very well constructed with top quality material. The straps are comfortable unless you have broad shoulders, then they digs in slightly. best bag in it's class that I have seen.

With several, but not any one of these reviews fully. Why? As stated in other reviews the size really keeps this pack from Ruling over all comers, and it really could if it were Bigger! (not a monster, let's spec six-to-eight litres more and nothing would ever come close). I can't say the premium price point is due to functionality, must be due to styling or being 'tech-savvy.' Unless the perfect 'fit' in ur mind is a bag you can put a handful of items into after completing your checklist of tech-related essentials, not be weighed down but likely near capacity, unless that is you then you will know this backpack falls Just short of perfection. It will certainly be a pack that is envied, based on style & looks, and depending on how much gear + necessities one is used to traveling with you may also find yourself in a bit of denial about what your common sense keeps sensing. "what on earth are we to do about things we might need, but don't know for sure if we will? abandon them before every trip?" Me, I don't drive, commute by cycling - four out of four seasons - so I have to bring what I will or might need for the day (or two) by carrying it. Bags can be too big or too small, obviously the too big ones will have that flexibility that I wanted to find in this one, which I still managed to get loads of use out of even without it. I think that put's this one somewhere in the middle, though achingly too close to perfect not to have a few more litre's!
