FAQs
What is the volume capacity of the Thule Aion Wheeled Duffel?
The duffel bag has a volume capacity of 95.0 Liters.
What are the dimensions of the bag?
The dimensions are 42.5 cm in width, 40 cm in depth, and 70 cm in height.
Is the waxed canvas treated with PFCs?
No, the Thule Aion's waxed canvas is free from PFCs, which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment.
How should I clean the waxed canvas material?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow it to air dry completely. Specialized canvas waxes can be used for re-waxing if needed.
Can this bag be used as a carry-on?
With dimensions of 70 cm in height, it is generally too large for most airline carry-on restrictions and is best suited for checked luggage.
What does it mean that the bag is bluesign® certified?
Bluesign® certification means the product meets strict international criteria for sustainable production, focusing on worker safety, consumer protection, and minimizing environmental impact.
What is the purpose of the coated storage pocket?
The large coated storage pocket is designed to store items like gym clothes or a bathing suit separately, preventing moisture or dirt from affecting other belongings in the bag.
Troubleshooting
Wheels are stiff or difficult to roll.
Check wheels for tangled debris (hair, string) and remove. Clean the wheel housing. If the issue persists, consider a silicone-based lubricant applied sparingly to the wheel axle.
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based zipper lubricant along the teeth to improve smoothness.
Water seeping through the canvas.
The waxed canvas is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a rain cover. The water repellency can be restored by re-waxing the fabric following product instructions.
Exterior compression straps won't tighten.
Ensure the buckle mechanisms are properly aligned and not obstructed. Check for any damage to the webbing or buckle itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Thule Aion Wheeled Duffel is ready for use right out of the box. Simply unzip the main compartments and begin packing. The interior and exterior compression straps can be adjusted to secure your belongings.
Compatibility: While designed for general travel, its dimensions (42.5 x 40 x 70 cm) mean it is best suited as checked luggage. Please verify airline specific size restrictions if considering it for carry-on.
Care:
- Cleaning the Shell: Wipe the waxed canvas exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents, as these can damage the wax coating. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution and rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry completely.
- Maintaining Wax Coating: Over time, the water-repellent properties of the wax coating may diminish. Re-waxing can be done using specialized canvas waxes if desired, following product instructions.
- Wheels and Zippers: Periodically check the wheels for debris and clean them. Lubricate zippers with a silicone-based spray if they become stiff.
