Thule Chasm Sport Duffel

We took two of these bags on a trip to South Africa and were able to fit so much in it and meet all the luggage requirements for our safari. Easy and compact, held up super nice (they still look like new), and are super comfortable to carry. Definitely worth the money, such a great quality bag!

I bought this for carry on so that my hands can be free in the airport. I have dedicated hiking bags but I thought this would be less gadgety and pocket loaded, and good for International travel that's not adventure oriented, yet could be in a pinch. It's also waterproof, which is meaningless until it isn't and you realize it's critical. I tested it today grocery shopping/walking. Ended up loaded with 28 pounds & walked 6 miles. Popped in quarts of soup, bags of flour, my jackets, plenty of space left...I am a person on the smaller, skinnier side and my preferred max load is 30 lbs. The only place I felt it was my quad's. My neck & back were fine. I was really surprised by how well the weight distributes in the bag & how it could stand up when I took the photo. I also appreciated that the opening lays against your back and the base is what's exposed, so that the bag is secure while you're carrying it and keeps you clean from whenever you may have set the bag onto when loading or rummaging. I was also able to snap on a grocery bag for my delicate greens in a manner so that it didn't swing back-and-forth as I walked. That's also important to me, no carabiner needed. I'm a decades experienced hiker. There is no air flow between your back and the pack, but that can be a plus in rainy, cool weather. And remember there's no chest or belly bands, and the base is not padded...but I really don't expect nor want these features in a duffle converter bag because it just adds weight, and I also bought this bag because it is not heavy or bulky. Loading it with clothes and carrying it on will be a breeze. This is my 1st Thule product and I'm sold.

As soon as I opened the box I knew this bag was high quality. I was so pleased with it that I ordered a 40L in the same color Olivine. A beautiful color and the bag itself is sturdy and over all appealing. I would 100% recommend any Thule product. I also have 4 compression pouches and those are also phenomenal. Keeps everything tidy and neat. Thanks Thule! Next purchase will be a backpack I think.

Extremely durable material, zipper, wheels and handle. Bag stands on its own due to the hard shell bottom. The wheels are nice and big and easily roll over cobblestones, carpet, soft ground, any surface really. The outer straps cinch up perfectly to hold everything in place. The first trip put this bag through its paces. It was sent to the wrong airport, forwarded all over Europe, and then turned over to a delivery company in Italy to bring to the hotel. Not a scratch, dent or ding. I really do not like the four wheel bags and two wheel bags are really hard to find. This is the perfect replacement.

If you arent using this to travel youre wrong. This bag fits more than any duffel and stays close to your back comfortably. Just buy it. Yea it's not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

The media could not be loaded. It is a SOLID BUILT BAG! The color pops. The liner on the inside is bright so it's easy to find your items. The shoulder straps are comfortable and they are removable. Side "compression" straps. Large opening. Large outside pocket. The 40L can fit a ton of items.These are all the things I like.Only I wish it had, was a sternum strap. There is no water bottle pocket but this is a duffel back that you can convert to carry like a backpack.5 Stars!

Sturdy material , will last a long time.

It is in the border line for carry on bags but It will work perfectly for that short trip.
