THULE CHASM
Thule Chasm 40L Duffel Bag
Compact enough to grab and go. Tough enough to follow you just about anywhere.
The Thule Chasm 40L is the compact all-purpose duffel in the Chasm family, sized for weekends away, road trips, gym gear, camping essentials and the equipment you want close at hand.
A wide-mouth opening makes it easy to pack, rugged weather-resistant construction handles real-world travel, and tuck-away backpack straps give you another way to carry it when your hands are already full.
If you want a Chasm that's easy to grab for almost any trip, start with the 40L.
THE GRAB-AND-GO CHASM
Big Enough for the Trip. Small Enough to Come Everywhere.
Forty litres hits a useful middle ground for people who don't need to haul half their garage every time they leave home.
Use it for a weekend away, keep it packed with gear in your truck or canopy, load it with clothing for a road trip, or make it your dedicated camp, gym or adventure bag.
It's the Chasm that's easiest to find a reason to use.
Built to Travel Hard
Wide-Mouth Opening
Opens wide so you can see what you've packed and get to your gear without digging through the entire bag.
Duffel to Backpack
Convertible shoulder straps let you carry the Chasm as a backpack, then tuck away when you want a traditional duffel.
Weather-Resistant Construction
Durable laminated fabric helps protect your gear from changing weather and the wear that comes with regular travel.
Padded Bottom
Helps protect your belongings when the bag gets set down on pavement, gravel, truck beds or cargo floors.
External Compression Straps
Help keep the load controlled and prevent everything from settling to the bottom when carried as a backpack.
Lockable Zipper Pulls
Designed to accommodate a compatible luggage lock for an added level of security. Lock sold separately.
PACK SMARTER
Everything Doesn't Need to Live at the Bottom.
Internal mesh pockets give smaller items a place of their own, while a large zippered mesh pocket keeps frequently used gear easy to find.
The included carry case also earns a second job once the bag is unpacked, becoming an accessory pouch inside the Chasm.
Oversized grab handles make the whole bag easy to lift in and out of a trunk, truck, canopy or rooftop cargo box.
CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR
Three Ways We'd Carry It.
LIGHT + CLEAN
Gentle Beige
A lighter, modern colourway that gives the Chasm a distinctly different look from traditional adventure luggage.
ADVENTURE CLASSIC
Olivine
An outdoors-inspired green that feels completely at home around camping and vehicle-based travel.
OUR RUGGED PICK
Deep Khaki
Rugged, understated and easy to pair with the rest of an adventure or overland setup.
Additional colours may also be available through the variant selector above.
BUILT WITH RECYCLED MATERIALS
Rugged Construction, Reworked.
The Chasm uses durable 900D polyester, with its exterior and interior fabrics, webbings and mesh made from 100% recycled materials.
A PFC-free durable water-repellent finish and phthalate-free laminate help create the tough, weather-resistant exterior the Chasm family is known for.
Built for regular use, repeated travel and the inevitable abuse that comes with adventure gear.

WHICH CHASM?
40L or 70L?
Choose the 40L when you want the more compact, easier-to-grab bag for short trips, everyday gear and weekends away.
Step up to the 70L when you regularly pack for several days, carry bulkier camping gear or simply prefer having more room than you think you'll need.
TESTED TO TRAVEL
Thule Doesn't Just Test Roof Racks.
Thule puts its luggage through extensive durability testing before it earns the Thule name, including 50 tests designed around real-world wear, handling and travel.
That's exactly what you want from a bag that's going to spend its life being packed, dropped, carried and thrown into the back of vehicles.

THE CAP-IT TAKE
The Chasm We'd Keep Packed and Ready.
The 70L is our pick when you want one Chasm to swallow a serious amount of travel gear. The 40L serves a different purpose.
It's smaller, lighter and easier to grab on the way out the door, which means it's probably the one you'll end up using more often.
Keep it in the truck with adventure gear. Pack it for a weekend away. Use it for the gym during the week and camp on Saturday.
If you want rugged Chasm construction in a genuinely everyday size, the 40L is the one we'd choose.
