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?

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.

Your hair hits the top of the pack frame and it blocks ventilation. Very annoying. But my hair is exceptionally long

I prefer fatter packs that aren't as tall so my hair can go on top of the pack, not between the pack and my back

In what way isnt it good with long hair? I have no issues with my ospray pack and long hair

Maybe its only an issue on their taller 60L or 70L packs
