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 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.
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.
Meanwhile, me asking for spare parts for a few years old bike trailer: lol that’s the old model we don’t have the parts for that one
[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.
Jupp, got an osprey as well.
Didnt osprey recently get bought by a private equity firm?
Are they still honouring their lifetime support?
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.
