Thule Chasm Backpack 26L – Durable and Weather Resistant

Everything is good, but the shoulder strap broke after 1 month. I guess my gaming laptop is too heavy.

I am using this to carry my streaming kit with the laptop, SOLID and best for the bucks. Looks very sturdy

True to their name, Thule made a very durable backpack which is great for rainy days. * Design * There outer material feels durable and its water resistance. There is a comfortable vertical handle to carry the bag which is a nice feature if you want to carry it by hand or remove it from the overhead bins when air travelling. The straps design means that the bag sits slightly higher then the shoulder line (which might help with easing back pressure). the bag is long and narrow so it wont fit bulky stuff inside. The straps are nice and wide and there is a chest strap. I didnt particularly liked that the main compartment opening is limited by the zipper going only half way (and thats only on one side, the other side is even shorter) There are three main compartments: 1. A small one to keep small stuff like phones (even an iPad mini could fit there). Its soft and will keep your screen safe 2. Mid compartment to keep all kind of stuff in organized pockets and a hook for keys. 3. Main comportment divide to two, one for a laptop (which could also be quick access from a side zipper) and various other larger items that you couldnt fit in the mid section * Functionality * The lack of a lower strap, for me, means that its not very suitable for longer hikes. It will be great for shorter hikes, specially when its wet outside or urban/work travel when its rainy to keep my laptop safe from the elements. Overall Its pretty comfortable on the back when its was about 75% loaded but, again, the long narrow design means that its difficult to put bulky items inside or else easily reach the bottom of the main comportment. Overall Its a great bag for urban and commute and itll keep you valuables safe. Made by Thule means its going to be one durable backpack that will last for quite a while.

I will admit Im a bit of a Thule fan girl. I really like their products and dont mind the premium price for premium goods. This backpack is good in the construction. I would like more padding on the shoulder straps. For some reason this backpack feels like it pulls back and down, I dont know if its a problem anyone else would have or my narrow shoulders but it feels somewhat awkward. there is a thin strap in front with a closure that gives an added feel of security. The construction of the pack is top notch and their is ample storage.

Thule Chasm Backpack is super durable and strong with a very good water resistant exterior. Very easy to access and holds my laptop securely along with so many other items. I love the shoulder straps as they are breathable and easy to put on my back. The price is really right and it lasts and I feel confident will hold up for years. The black color matches everything and does not show the dirt. Overall, amazing.

The Thule Chasm Backpack is an incredible bag for travel and also day to day use. Its got a sleek and sophisticated look that goes from work to weekend. There are tons of different compartments and pockets to help keep me organized, but the thing I love the most about this bag is that the laptop compartment can be accessed from inside the bag, or from outside. Every other backpack Ive owned in the past has required me to open up the entire thing in order to get my computer out. With this one, its so easy to pop it out the side without opening up the entire thing and exposing all my contents. Thats particularly useful in the airport security line. This bag is large and spacious, and I love the water resistant exterior. Like another reviewer had mentioned, it does have widely spaced shoulder straps. However, there is an adjustable chest strap between them that helps keep them securely fastened together so they dont slip off my shoulders, and that gives me a feeling of security and comfort while wearing this backpack. Overall, this is an incredible bag that is well-constructed and I expect it to last me for years to come. My husband has already tried to steal it from me since he also likes it so much!

Not worth the high price

Great backpack for day and travel use. Lots of pockets and areas to keep your items safe. Nice, sleek looking bag.

Really well designed and solidly constructed. High quality materials. Looks great. Excellent weight distribution. In some backpacks items just fall to the bottom making it awkward to carry on your bag. Comfortable to wear. Perfect layout of pockets and compartments. Keeps its shape regardless of what you put in it. Love the laptop accessibility from the side, and also the side handle, which actually works well because the backpack keeps its shape pretty much regardless of how its handled. My only slight complaint is that a laptop can bounce back and forth while you walk if thats all you have in the pack. Solved pretty simply by stuffing another small item in there.

This backpack is perfect for my needs. I got it to protect my new laptop when I go to work for 24 hour shifts. I have a notebook, iPad, and a case with my chargers and headphones that all fits easily in the large compartment. The middle compartment I keep writing utensils, a pocket knife and some odds and ends as well a vitamin case in the zipper pocket which fits perfectly. The small outer packet holds keys, a bag of floss picks, wallet, etc. Love this backpack and get comments For the record I got the olive color and it’s great. Most of my clothes are grey, blue, and black like a lot of men and the olive green goes well with all of it. If you are looking for an all purpose back pack but also want to protect a laptop the chasm is highly recommended.
