Thule Crossover 2 Laptop Backpack, 30L

It only took ordering several backpacks and returning them before I found this one. I fly a lot and was looking for something functional and practical. I went through 3 or 4 higher end bags and even tried some low and middle priced packs and they just didnt offer me the storage and versatility that this Thule pack does. Its pretty ridged and made to last. It has lots of storage pockets and holds all my stuff that I need for work and to be comfortable on the plane.

Love these back packs. Had a previous Thule and that went to Arctic circle and back multiple times with me. The only reason I changed was because the zipper handles were plastic and broke off after about 4 years. Would highly recommend!

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.

On paper, this backpack has most of everything I wanted. I wanted the protective case for my glasses, a luggage sleeve and a water bottle area sturdy enough for my Hydroflask. I ordered the blue and the color is perfect. The bag is sturdy - too sturdy. I had a difficult time putting my glasses in the protective case, let alone my phone. I had a difficult time opening the bag to get things out of it. And the luggage sleeve - it was such a snug fit over my suitcase handle that it took 2 hands and some struggle to get it off. Perhaps it will take some time to soften the fabric, but I dont want to wait months. I am returning my 30L Thule and having to resume my search.

I am really enjoying this backpack. The pack is light even when full to the brim! I have been carrying my work laptop, my iPad Pro, my MacBook Pro and other junk around for a few weeks and it is holding up well. The only negative is there are too many pockets to keep track of where things are!

I like the fast service, bag is good quality

I really like this backpack... well made, plenty of room for all my gear. Compartments are easy to get to. Looks great, and I especially like how it stands up like a piece of luggage and doesnt fold over like other backpacks tend to do. I decided to take a chance on this one realizing the price point is way up there compared to others... but like many things, you get what you pay for, and in this case I have no complaints.

I got the 30L backpack in the Dress Blue color and totally love it! Excellent construction, totally classy, and more attractive than most business backpacks out there. 30L is a good size too.. good for carrying all your everyday work essentials but not too bulky to fit into a professional setting. The smaller size would probably be too small IMO

Love that the bag stands up, is sturdy, has high-quality materials (love these zippers), smart colors and textures (love the blue highlights and interior), and is thoughtfully designed. Things I would change? Just two things. 1/ I wish it were about 1lb lighter when empty. 2/ I want one small, flexible pocket for quickly dropping things into while on the move (e.g., keys, receipts, business cards)

Ive been using this for over a week now and Ive really grown to like it. At first, I had a few issues with it b/c its thin (by design) and theres no real room to spare. However it really does have the space you need, even if you have several peripherals, you just need to pack it differently than wider backpacks. To put it in perspective, I keep my IBM Thinkbad, a logitech trackball, a hyperdrive USB hub and a 1TB usb Drive, along with the charger and cable. In addition I keep a few pens, business cards . The outer pocket has one seperater in it and lets you pack away pens, business cards, a few extra phone charging cables and small items. Its great. Also, the outer part of it is reinforced so its quite strong (but also padded so that you get a good bit of extra protection without having to worry about it being too rigid. You can slide your computer in the primary pouch and unless you have an oversized laptop itll probably be just fine. Id recommend just double checking the size before ordering. It also has two pockets on the sides that will let you keep your chargers, USB drives, extra cables and the like. Once you get used to it, you can quickly pack and unpack it very quickly. In addition, Id just note a few general items about it. The zippers are really strong but they are still easy to open and close. They are really strong. There are four pockets outside of the primary one but they have compartments in two of them to let you keep things organized. Its thin compared to most backpacks but the straps are very sturdy and are really comfortable. It took a little getting used to it but Ive really been glad I switched.
