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 duffel bag as a carry on from Oklahoma to Florida. Had to fit both my stuff and my boyfriend’s. It can fit so much inside! I used the Thule compression cubes so it was able to fit even more! Besides: waterproof? Check. Has straps to use as a backpack? Check. It’s cute? Check! Aaaand it comes inside another little pouch that you can use for other stuff. Amazing design and quality. I’m thinking of getting another one for my bf!

This bag is light and roomy. It’s a perfect size as a carry-on, and can be used as a backpack too.

Very good purchase: very sturdy, high quality, very roomy and attractive. Excellent Thule Quality.

I ended up returning the Thule bag in exchange for a Patagonia black hole duffel. That said, the Thule was well constructed and designed. I packs nicely with various openings and pockets with a 40L capacity. If your weight limits are strict, it's a bit heavier than some alternatives. I did not like its feel - its' * rubber or vinyl?* construction felt very stiff. On the other hand, I would suspect it is quite rugged. I won't go into a comparison of the Thule vs. Patagonia; both have strengths and weaknesses. Many would undoubtedly prefer the Thule. One note - the new bag was stuffed into a small bag on arrival. It was hard to extract and it would seem impossible to put it back into that bag. When out, it needed some help to return to the shape you wish to use while traveling.

Travelled to BVI for a sailing trip and purchased this bag. It’s a great size , fitting a lot of clothes, shoes and toiletries. Full, i still comfortably could strap the bag on my back through the airport. My daughter used this bag for her trip overseas. Same experience. Say and roomy. What’s more, this bag is extremely durable. Highly recommend
