FAQs
What is the total volume of this duffel bag?
The Thule Chasm Duffel in this specific model has a volume of 70.0 liters.
Can this bag be used as carry-on luggage?
With dimensions of 69 x 40 x 31 cm, this 70L duffel bag typically exceeds standard carry-on size restrictions for most airlines. It is best suited for checked luggage or as a gear bag.
How do I convert the duffel into a backpack?
Detach the shoulder straps from the top D-rings and attach them to the lower anchor points on the bag. Adjust the straps for a comfortable fit on your back.
Is the material completely waterproof?
The bag is constructed from durable, waterproof tarpaulin fabric, offering excellent weather resistance. However, the seams and zippers may not be fully waterproof, so it's recommended to use internal dry bags for highly sensitive electronics or documents during extreme weather.
Are locks included with the bag?
No, locks are not included. The bag features lockable zipper pulls, allowing you to use your own compatible luggage locks for added security (locks sold separately).
How do I clean the bag?
Wipe the bag with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse and air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Information regarding warranty is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the official Thule warranty information for specifics.
Can I fit a 130L version of this bag for check-in?
Yes, Thule offers the Chasm Duffel in a 130L size (MPN: 3205599 or 3205003) which is also suitable for checked luggage and larger gear requirements.
Troubleshooting
Bag is difficult to zip or unzip.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based zipper lubricant. If the zipper is misaligned, gently try to realign the teeth.
Backpack straps are uncomfortable or digging in.
Adjust the shoulder straps for a proper fit. Ensure the load is evenly distributed inside the bag and utilize the external compression straps to keep items from shifting. For very heavy loads, consider distributing weight as evenly as possible.
Water is seeping into the bag.
While the bag is weather-resistant, the seams and zippers are potential points of entry for prolonged submersion or heavy rain. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed and consider using dry bags for highly sensitive items inside the duffel.
Bag smells musty.
Air the bag out thoroughly in a well-ventilated area. You can also try placing baking soda inside the bag for a day or two to absorb odors. Clean with mild soap and water and ensure it's completely dry before storing.
