Thule

Chasm 40-130L Duffel

Best duffle!

I have both a 40 l and a 70 l chasm duffle, and a 26 l chasm pack. Very tough and waterproof material. Well designed openings, pockets and straps etc. Robust but smooth zippers. I liked the first one so much I bought the others.

Burly and Well-Designed

Replaced a prior duffel one of our daughters grabbed for a semester overseas. What I like: 1) It's made of extremely sturdy materials - heavy-grade coated fabric, big zipper, and looks very well made, stitches and handles aren't coming loose from normal use - on par with other duffels at this price point (I have a very large Gregory Alpaca as a point of comparison); 2) nice design features - pretty easy to remove the shoulder straps, which are more comfortable than most duffel bags; good interior pockets and an exterior pocket; extra wide opening when unzipped; the 'briefcase carry' straps can be snapped down and secured out of the way when carrying like a backpack. If you like single strap over-the-shoulder carry this doesn't offer that.

Thule Chasm

Thule is known for great quality and the Chasm 40L is no exception!

Built Like a Tank

Got this for a five night trip from America to Copenhagen, and I can't be more pleased. I packed over 50 lbs of clothes and gear into it, lugged that around on my back, and the bag felt like it could handle anything I threw at it. Can't wait to use it for ski and road trips. Two notes: the olive green can accumulate some smudges in airplane cargo holds, and the bag can carry so much weight, carrying it can wear on your back if you're as old as I am (47). Still, it does everything I ask.

Decent bag

I purchased this a month ago to carry my work gear in. The size and design is great with soild zippers and nice mesh pockets for organization. However, the ad said it was water resistant and the first time the bag got wet in a mild rain storm it allowed everything inside to get soaked and the zipper was zipped tight. I'm unimpressed with it's inability to keep things dry.

Love It!

Super solid bag. As a retired product developer from the outdoor industry who focused on bags Thule is my go-to for travel and urban bag. Great team there! I purchased two sizes. The 90 is my bag for week long road trips for fly fishing. The 70 for shorter excursions.

Excellent Travel Luggage

We purchased these bags for travel and are very impressed with how much they can actually hold. Was able to get a solid weeks worth of clothing in each of the bags.

Very good bag, it needs a couple of things to make

It's looks sturdy and has plenty of space to hold stuff for a short trip. I would have rated it if it came with a chest strap (or at least the possibility of adding one) and a shoulder strap so it can be carried hanging from one's shoulder, like a gym bag

Exceptional quality, the perfect travel duffle

I decided on the Thule 70litre duffle after much research, following the demise of my 30 year old well travelled duffle of a similar size. This duffle is so well constructed it will outlive me! It is ideal for the travelling we do. It can be locked, the zipper is very sturdy and protected. Convenient inside pockets have been thoughtfully included. It comes with detachable straps so it can be carried as a backpack. It arrived in a sturdy bag of the same material, which can be used as a very solid packing cube. I am so impressed I am going to buy a second one.

A duffel for all purposes!

Size Bought:

70L

I bought the Thule Chasm prior to a month-long trip with my family to Europe. We wanted something packable that we could use for souvenirs. Rolled up, the Chasm fit comfortably in our suitcase on the way over. On the trip, it held up wonderfully, from one overhead bin to the next…durable and expandable, just as advertised. And though I cannot confirm this scientifically, there may be something magical about it, too, as it was the only bag that wasn’t misplaced on our return trip home… Buy this duffel with confidence! It’s a terrific product.
