Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Thule 32L Crossover Backpack by Dennis Brinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A must for frequent flyers!

Can't put it into words. I love everything about this backpack. After a year of using the backpack my company gave me to carry my massive Dell Inspiron laptop, I decided to try something new and hopefully better. Thule was aware of all the possible uses of backpacks when developing this gem. First the material. The fabric is smooth but shows no signs of wear after a month of use. The colors also indicate that the backpack is resistant to dust and dirt that usually collects when you put it on the ground and actually USE the backpack. Second bags. They are designed for a specific purpose. Which destination you choose is your choice, but remember they've tried to take a minimalist approach. This means they have pockets for what you need and pockets for things you've always wanted but never had. For example, the tablet pocket is amazing. It's thin so it's not bulky and lined with fleece to prevent scratches. Above that are two smaller, fleece-lined pockets for cell phones or other fragile items that scratch easily. The laptop bag is large enough to hold a 17 inch Macbook according to its specifications. I have a fairly bulky 17 inch Dell Inspiron laptop in my backpack and although it is compact it has everything I need. Other bags include simple medium storage, plain and simple. The front pockets have organizers for other small items. What I really like about the pockets is the top zip pocket for sunglasses and phones. This is so useful for those who travel but don't want to take a bulky glass display case with them! It has enough space for my Maui Jim's and my iPhone 7. It's sturdy enough that I don't have to worry about glasses. Third, the profile of the overall package is excellent for air travel. i'm a big guy I have to fight for every inch of legroom both above and below the legroom under the seat in front of me. On crowded flights or in less than ideal situations, I have to move my pack away from me under the seat. My old backpack: not a snowball with a hell of a chance of making your legs comfortable. Thule Crossover: Space for each leg on either side of the backpack under the seat in front of me. In general I would say this is a must for those who fly often or travel at all.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
