Duffel bag Thule Chasm 70L — model 5593, 70 L capacity, darkest blue

The Thule Chasm 70L duffel in darkest blue is a 70-litre travel and sports bag designed for multi-purpose use. It offers a large main compartment for clothing and gear, sturdy carry handles, convertible shoulder straps, and weather-resistant tarpaulin fabric to protect contents during outdoor trips and transit.

Advantages

All exterior and interior fabrics, webbings, and mesh are made from 100% recycled materials, combining durability with a lower environmental footprint. The wide-mouth, oversized opening provides easy access to gear, while internal mesh pockets and a large zippered mesh pocket keep small items organized and quickly accessible. The 2-in-1 design converts from a duffel to a backpack with tuck-away shoulder straps, and external compression straps secure belongings in backpack mode. Additional features include a padded bottom for protection when set down, oversized grab handles for easy lifting, a carry case that doubles as an internal accessory pouch, and lockable zipper pulls for added theft deterrence.

Suitable for

• Weekend trips and short holidays
• Gym and sports equipment transport
• Adventure travel and outdoor activities
• Commuting when needing larger capacity

When it may not be suitable

This 70 L duffel is relatively large and may be bulky for everyday city use or for travellers who prefer compact carry-on luggage. It is not a rigid suitcase—items should be packed with consideration for shape and protection if transporting fragile gear.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 70 litres
• Material: weather-resistant tarpaulin fabric; exterior and interior fabrics, webbings, and mesh made from 100% recycled materials

How to use

Open the oversized wide-mouth opening to pack clothing and gear into the main compartment. Use internal mesh pockets and the large zippered mesh pocket to separate and quickly access smaller items. To carry as a backpack, unfold the shoulder straps and tuck them away when converting back to duffel mode. Secure loose contents with the external compression straps and lift the bag using oversized grab handles when loading into a trunk or rooftop box. Store small accessories in the included carry case or use it as an internal pouch.

What to consider before purchase

• Size: 70 L capacity may be too large for minimal or carry-on-only travellers
• Rigidity: soft-sided design — consider additional protection for fragile items
• Security: zipper pulls are lockable but locks are sold separately

Usage recommendations

For balanced packing, place heavier items at the bottom and use the compression straps to stabilize contents when carrying as a backpack; use the padded bottom to protect items from rough surfaces and the internal pockets to keep small essentials accessible.
