ThuleChasm Sport Duffel

The Thule Chasm collection is an excellent choice for those seeking durable and versatile travel bags. After using the 70L size extensively on a three-week trip to Europe, I found it to exceed my expectations.Bag Build: The bag is made from 900D polyester. The “D” in “900D” is an abbreviation for the denier of the fabric, indicating its thickness and density. Generally, bags fabric could come in 300D, 600D, 900D, and larger. The larger the number, the higher durability of the bag. With this Thule bag, the material is strong, resilient, and water-resistant. It is suitable for various weather scenarios.The bag is equipped with heavy-duty zippers that are big and strong, ensuring secure closure. There are also external compression straps that can help reduce the bag’s size when it is not fully packed or to keep the contents more compact inside. There are two mesh pockets inside (one smaller and one larger) for organizing smaller items.The bottom of the bag is padded. Despite its sturdy construction, the bag is quite forgiving and can be squeezed into tight spaces, something that is particularly useful when traveling.Carrying Options: There are multiple carrying handles around the bag, giving several configuration options to make it work for your needs. There are removable backpack straps that are easy to attach and detach. One end of the straps is attached to a clip while the other end is easily thread through. Additionally, there are two side panel straps that can be made longer and thus making the bag easy to side carry. Note that the bag does not come with one long strap for traditional shoulder duffel-style carrying. If that is your preferred method, this bag may not be the perfect fit.Size Considerations: The Thule Chasm collection comes in multiple sizes. This would be airline dependent, but the 40L does work as a carry-on. It fits in the overhead compartment and under the seat (when not overly stuffed). Anything larger than the 40L needs to be checked. I found the 70L size the perfect size for me. Coupled with packing cubes, I managed to pack for three weeks for myself and child.Usability: The standout feature of this bag is the wide opening. This allows full access to the main compartment. The design in this bag is superior to traditional backpacks that only offer top-down access. The interior of the main compartment is lined with light fabric, making it easier to see and organize your belongings.This travel bag includes a handy storage bag which allows you to fold the duffel down into compact form for storage. When traveling, I personally used this storage bag as a laundry bag.Overall: A highly durable, versatile, and user-friendly bag. Cool color variety to suit your personality. Well-suited for anyone looking for a reliable option for extended trips or rugged outdoor adventures. Highly recommend!

I used this 70L bag for a 10 day trip to Asia. It was absolutely perfect. Way easier for me to get in and off trains, busses, and planes than my friends who all had hard sided luggage. The bag had plenty of space for 10 changes of clothes, fleece, rain shell, extra pair of shoes, and toiletries. I even had enough space left over to bring back chocolates for friends.The bag is built well, shoulder straps are comfortable, the material is water resistant, and seems like it will last for decades. I’d definitely buy it again.

I just checked this both ways from the US east coast to Japan and it held up well. The outside coating can be scratched (see photo), but nothing even close to a rip or tear- and not enough to even take off a star.The backpack straps detach which makes it great for carrying around but then you can go to full duffle mode to check it (I put the backpack straps in my carryon). The zipper allows for a luggage lock. There are also straps on the side that allow you to cinch it down so there is less play when checking it. The duffle handles can even be snapped down when in backpack mode if that bothers you. Very thoughtful design- great for active vacations or trips where you are changing locations and you don’t want to drag a wheeled suitcase all over. Im a larger pretty fit person and fully packed it does get heavy on the back, I could see a smaller framed person struggle to backpack the 90L or bigger.Also comes with a compact storage bag- less space storing luggage too!

We had two of these bags for a week-long bike tour, which involved packing up each morning and loading the bags onto trucks. They held almost too much stuff and performed exceptionally well with solid use. When we returned home, they showed no signs of wear and tear, cleaned up well, and easily stowed back into their storage bags for next time.There isn't a lot of pocket storage but what is provided was sufficient and easy to access.I like that the shoulder straps can be removed and that the carry handles can be easily secured to the sides. These 70L models will be good checked bags for air travel but are questionable for carry-on use unless you pack lightly.I am extremely happy with the purchase.

Es un muy buen producto, alta calidad y buen espacio para almacenar cualquier tipo de cosas que uno quiera transportar sin el miedo de que se dañe o se moje.

I’ve been using it a lot over the past 7 months and it’s holding up very well. Interior pockets work well to separate smaller items. High quality materials. It’s a great bag. Love it.

fantastic duffel bag. I’m traveling 2 to 4 times a year, so not a ton but enough to become familiar with convenient bags. My trips are often only 2 to 3 days so this is a perfect bag for that length of a trip. Lots of room inside, multiple ways to carry it and it is sturdy. From what i read it qualifies for the carrry on luggage for airplanes, but i heard that recently airlines adjusted the sizing of carrry on…I hope this isn’t true but i will find out on my next flight.No complaints on my end excellent purchase

Es la mejor maleta que he tenido, el material es de primer nivel y elegante. La recomiendo al 100%

Me encantó los materiales, y la capacidad de almacenaje, muy recomendada.
