I bought a Thule Crossover eight years ago and the zip on it has finally gone. Short of getting a local seamstress to fit a new zip, I think it’s time for a new one, and am a bit tempted by the Thule Crossover 2 30l. Are Thule still good? Is there anything else of the same sort of size that I should be considering?
[Looks at the price…] Yeah, for 300 dollars you could get something custom made with double stitching . I’ve spent less on a hyper specialized mountaineering Osprey pack.
I came here to recommend Osprey as an alternative haha. Their bags all have that guarantee. They’ll fix or replace your bag no matter what.
Have you contacted Thule? M not even joking. I have an 11 year old Thule laptop backpack, the little rubber covers on the zipper handles perished. I called them to ask if there were replacements available and they said to bring it in and then replaced them for free.
Can’t hurt to ask.
I went with Trash Bags when picking a new bag about 6 years ago. No complaints. It’s one of the best things I own. I’ve ordered other small stuff from them and it’s always been superb quality.
I would legit shill this company for merch.
I wouldn’t call 8 years a great backpack. I have a North Face backpack that has seen heavy abuse and is still good to go after 19 years. So maybe check out North Face, assuming they’re still making them like they used to.
Lots of people mention Osprey. They’re not so good if you have long hair. I recommend Gregory.
Can you elaborate? This is such an oddly specific thing but I’m new to long hair so I’m probably missing something fairly obvious.
In what way isnt it good with long hair? I have no issues with my ospray pack and long hair
I own a big Exos 58L and i dont have any issues with my long hair. Would love for you to elaborate, gotta say im curious!
