Are Thule backpacks still good? (lemm.ee)

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 had a Thule 32L before, it was pretty good! Now I have an Osprey 26/32L, and it's really fantastic. I used Osprey in the Alps (a big hiking bag) and was really impressed so I switched when the Thule finally died.
