Thule Chasm 90L

I bought the 130 liter Thule Chasm duffel as my main piece of luggage for a 4 week trip involving car travel, hotel stays, cruise ships, and a train. I needed clothing and some equipment for two very different climates, so I wanted a big piece of luggage that fit within airline dimensions but was sturdy and flexible and which could be put on wheels when necessary. The Thule Chasm 130L is 34" x 18" x 16.5", a total linear dimensional measurement of 68.5" which is over the airlines 62" dimensional limits if fully packed and expanded. However, if not packed to bursting, the bag's compression straps can be used to reduce the dimensions to what the airlines will accept. If airline limits aren't applicable, this bag easily can be packed in excess of both the size and 50# weight limits, yet is still manageable.The bag has multiple carry options, with optional backpack straps, a top carry handle, and grab handles on both ends. This made moving the bag around fairly easy, despite its large size. I wouldn't recommend carrying it long distances when packed full with clothing, however - it doesn't take the place of a decent backpack for hiking. Its weight when packed also makes it less than idea for long carry with the handles. I brought a collapsible two-wheeled aluminum handtruck with me that I could carry into the airline cabin after checking the bag. (Wheeled bags reduce the net luggage weight since the wheels are included in the airlines weight measurement.) I could place this duffel vertically on the handtruck and still have room for another smaller duffel to sit horizontally on top, all strapped in place to prevent shifting.The internal mesh pockets are useful for some internal organization, and the external pocket at one end provides storage for items to be accessed quickly without opening the entire bag. There isn't any internal organization for the main compartment; I use "packing cubes" (Amazon Basics ones work fine) to keep my clothing organized.Overall it is a great bag assuming you need this much storage space. It is an extremely big bag, and it holds a lot. Just the ticket if you have a lot to transport and need to keep your bag count down, but is overkill if you don't. One way to think of it is as the modern equivalent of a steamer trunk.

I needed a bag that had no unneccesary frills but would be durable and work well for 3-5 day trips and be easy to fit into a plane's overhead compartment, this bag fit the bill.Construction is solid, but I did notice a loose thread that had to be trimmed on the bottom edge seam. The double-layer material gives it structure to stand on its own without folding in half or collapsing under the weight of whatever is packed into it. The interior is spacious enough to fit a small toiletry bag and 4-5 days worth of clothes and some additional items. The backpack straps are fantastic for using this as a carry on item. Walk to where you need to go in backpack configuration, then unbutton the duffel carry handles to transfer it on/off the plane.My only complaint is that there isn't an external pouch or zip pocket where I could put a water bottle while carrying it in backpack configuration, I had to carry mine in my hand while walking through the airport, which was a minor annoyance. Overall however, if you're looking for a carry on compliant weekender bag that won't break the bank like an Aer or Bellroy, this is it.

Great bag with room to pack. Durable and zippers work well. Used for airline travel and perfect for a carry on with no issues. Only downside is limited outside pockets (only 1 small zip pocket on top). Otherwise a great all around weekend or travel bag.

I like traveling with a Duffel bags for the diversity/flexibility and space it gives me during longer travel, especially when you travel to a place that doesn't have room for a large suitcase storage (i.e., River Cruises). I own the Patagonia Black Hole (120L) Duffle. The Patagonia duffel is made well. However, the challenge I have with it (and the same problem with the North Face Base Camp duffel) is the "shoulder straps" for carrying on the back. Both Patagonia and North Face have a complex tie/buckle system that is NOT easy to remove and store, especially when your at the airport checking or picking up bag. the Thule Chasm fixing this big problem with a very easy and incredible simple clip. It takes a few seconds vs. the Patagonia/North Face that is frustrating and difficult to manage. The Thule duffel also has the largest opening to easy access clothes/gear. The material is as tough as North Face's duffel. Thule also added other tech like snaps to hold bag the handles when you carry bag on your back or a convenient pocket on the outside that enables you to store a copy of your travel documents. It's by far the best duffel I've used. Highly recommend you look at Thule over the others. AND if you need a larger duffel it's one of the largest at 130L. Patagonia only sells one 100L. North Face has one that's 130L and one 150L.

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.

It's a lot bigger than expected. Great quality and feels really premium.

The material is great, my cat can claw at it for hours and not leave a mark. Main area is very spacious (70L size) with some nice mesh organizers on the side and top.Using packing cubes I could fit 5 days worth of work clothes as well as a large and bulky laptop case, all quite easily.My only issue with the bag is the straps; since the duffel is quite long the weight tends to sag and it puts a lot more stress on the shoulders. However, if needs be, I can just take it off and stand it up at my feet, because it is quite rigid.It's a great bag, got it on prime day for 120 bucks, definitely recommend.
