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?
I’ve got a victorinox that I’ve had for almost 20 years. I got it in school, and it lasted several years with almost 50lbs of books in it (yes, really. It was a private school).
One strap gave way in the first year, but my mom restitched it and everything else has held since. Only other people I have is that it smells kinda funky because I can’t figure out how to wash it.
My Vicorinox was a daily carry for ten years. I only gave it up because my wife needed a pack and I wanted a new feature. She’s carried it for another couple years. The pack is made better than my Osprey hiking pack and the 5.11 that replaced it.
