Thule consistenly designs and makes great products for skiers and outdoor enthusiasts. The Crossover Duffel is no exception. It is lightweight, yet well-constructed and durable. Strong fabric, quality hardware, comfortable straps and handles, and well designed. The various compartments, including a crush-proof zone make packing and transporting gear a breeze. That said, this isn't really designed for casual traveler. It just won't make sense or be easy for accessing items quickly at the airport. This bag is great for those who like to travel with an outdoor activity in mind. If this is you, then the Thule Crossover Duffel will work great.
