Review on Thule Crossover 20L Dress Blue Backpacks by Sherry Smith

I use the backpack every day at work, in the gym and when traveling in New York. And try to beat the crap out of them! I've always bought Lululemon, but they changed some of the features of my favorite backpack and started using lower quality zippers and materials. I've scoured stores and online stores extensively for replacements and looked at hundreds of options. What I like about this backpack is the high quality of the materials. It's more like a premium suitcase - and durable, allowing it to hold its shape and stand on a table or bench without falling off. While it's a little more compact than others I've seen, it holds up just as much and has some great features like an EMI shielded zipped area and room for a mobile phone's external battery with a clever cable hole. The laptop section is great and will fit more than one as it is designed. Great if you have both your laptop and iPad with you. The sunglass compartment is also ingenious, offering space for 2 pairs and a small zipped compartment for things like lip balm or eyeglass cleaning cloths. I am impressed with the high quality and will buy this brand next time I need to replace other luggage or buy a backpack for my son. I also get lots of compliments on this stylish/clean looking package! It's a great design overall and promises to last a very, very long time.
