Thule Crossover 56-Litre Rolling Duffel Pack

I am bit of a pain in the rear end with how picky I am about things, I even get to myself... That being said, I purchased two sets of each size of this Xover Line by Thule. My family now has a full set of matching luggage that is so versitile that each family member loves their bag. Even with all of the different types of Traveling and also different sports and hobbies we are accomodating, these bags are fitting in quite well with everyone. I spent over 2k on the luggage but it is worth every dime. This bag, the 56L, is definitely the favorite though. We purchased two and it looks like we may still need another. Perfect size bag with perfect storage compartmets to keep everything safe and seperate. The hard shell compartments are available on every bag including the backpacks I purchased. I was able to ditch a case for my Oakleys. Nice job Thule, it's definitely a case of getting what I paid for.

I took this on a one week trip. Disagree with previous reviews that it is good for 3 days. I used the bottom layer and rolled my clothes. Fitted 3 pants, 6 shirts, underwear and work out clothes inclusive of jacket. Top layer i fitted running shoes and 2 pairs of dress shoes, toiletries and an over coat. I still had enough room for 2 books and computer power cords etc. Loved the bad, the wheels do not mean it will over balance. It is light and manageable. Highly recommend.

It's a really good bag, no remarks regarding quality. The only thing it's not always accepted as carry-on luggage. Like same airline can allow you to carry it but on return flight you have to check it in. But as a travel bag it's really good.

I really found these to be durable, strong and the airlines don't break them! I love mine, I also bought the 86 liter. The 56 liter is a little bit big to pass as a carry on, the standard has to be 22in. and this one is 25in. But as a check on, it's great! If they have a carry on, will buy that one next. I have the big one and happy with it for my dive gear needs. I recommend this to anyone. Nina

I am torn between 2 and 3 stars. Considering the price, I went with two. It is a well built bag, but I find the design quite lacking.Two major design issues:1 - Rather than connect the straps to the lower half of the bag, so that one could move it around without zipping it up, they attach them to the top half of the bag. That means that all of the load goes through the zipper (bad). It also means that if you pick it up with the main zipper unzipped, the lower half will empty itself onto the floor faster than you can blink. I have fallen for this many times, and it is really making me hate this case. It is a perimeter zipper, so it is not obvious whether it is zipped or not. Also, when I am on vacation, suitcase zipper status is not at the forefront of my attention space.2 - The telescoping handle locks open, but not closed. Really? That means that as soon as a baggage handler grabs it by the handle it will slide open, lock in place, and that is how it will be thrown on and off the plane. This gives great leverage for throwing the bag (bad) and exposes the sliding mechanism to unnecessary damage (also bad). They must have very polite luggage handlers in Sweden.Other minor niggles: the aluminum hardware is fancy, but not very functional. It is great for gouging hardwood floors and car paint, but has little real purpose.The internal hard shield forces the bag into an awkward and unbalanced wedge. Kind of like a giant backpack, except it isn't a backpack.I have taken to modifying the bags (I bought four on sale) to make them more functional. The aluminum side buckles can be used for a strap that goes under the bag, taking the load off the zipper. This also partly solves the problem of the lower compartment puking its contents whenever the bag is hoisted. I have also added full compression straps to pull down the girth, and drilled extra detents in the handle rail to allow locking when it is collapsed. This makes the bag far more functional. After the mods it is a solid four star bag. I am going after the internal hard shield next.The construction of these bags is top notch. The fact that I can modify them to suit my needs speaks to the solid nature of the platform.

I can't find this in the stores and glad to find it on Amazon. I wore my other one out and wanted another one just like it. If you don't pack it too full it always fits in the overhead. Hard protected area up top to protect your sun glasses. It is the perfect weekend bag!

The Scandi stuff are always good quality. I saw it a lot in my last rip in Sweden and unfortunately I could not buy it over there. The price through Amazon was fair and fast delivery. I am a very satisfied client and high recommend.
