Thule RoundTrip Bike Duffel

I bought this bag as a gift for someone and after watching them use and abuse it for a year, I got one for myself. The bag is well designed and has compartments and pockets for all the tools and accessories that are needed to shred comfortably and roll fast. It holds everything needed for 2-3 days of either road or mt biking at a time. We also use these bags as a carry-on luggage when traveling to locations we bike at and they travel well. The only thing that could be tweaked to improve it is if the interior organizer could be completely removeable. Right now it can be folded off to one side but its still slightly bulky when not in use.

This is the perfect bag for all cycling gear. The compartments are a good way to keep you gear organized. And it keeps me from forgetting stuff. Clothes, kits, tools, tubes, shoes, snacks, and a padded compartment for sunglasses… muy bueno.

Very happy with this bag. Allows for great organization of your gear and is very well made

This bag is the luxury item I never knew I needed! For years Ive been throwing things in a backpack and then always rummaging around trying to find things on top of each other. I would be fumbling around in the dark, unable to get to what I need without dumping everything out. Frustrating to say the least. The great thing about this bag are the many to down viewable compartments for all your clothing needs. I know many people have complained about the bottom of the compartments not being closed and they consider it a design flaw. In my opinion I believe it not to be a fault at all, but a brilliant choice by Thule, because it allows the different compartments to expand or contract as needed based on different size items you stuff into them. For instance a larger bicycling bib takes more room versus socks or gloves. If you do choose to put smaller loose items in those top down viewable triangular pockets slipping them into sandwich baggies or pill containers has been my solution. The bag does swallow a tremendous amount of gear perfect for a cycling Expedition, or Everesting challenge or any long endurance events where you need to constantly change out kit and need day and night options, plus sunny and rainy options. I generally end up taking way more than I need but Im then prepared for that just in case situation the weather throws at me.

Review of: **Thule RoundTrip Bike Duffel** This has to be one of the most thought-out cycling/activity bag ever built. Thule came up with some really innovative designs with this thing, starting with the inside accordion dividers. How many times have you packed a bag with various clothing items only to have to dig through all the stuff youre not looking for to get to the items you are? With this bag, you can pack different clothing (or other) items in each compartment and then get directly to it. And if you dont need this function for a particular trip or activity, just unsnap it and collapse it to the side, leaving a large open compartment. The helmet space is plenty large enough for any type of helmet, there is a separate wet or sweaty gear zippered compartment inside, a place to pack your muddy shoes, and spots for tools or other gear to easily access from the outside. The material is durable and looks nice, even the color is very interesting and would be great for males or females. They even added little graphic labels in each compartment to give an idea of the suggested use for a space. Im definitely looking forward to using this bag not only for road and mountain biking outings, but likely for photography equipment, volleyball (that helmet spot will hold one or two volleyballs), maybe even a camping trip. If you ever find yourself struggling with finding the right bag for your activity, this may very well be your solution Not cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

The exterior of this duffel bag is made of tough, sturdy material that actually feels more durable than my soft luggage bag. Im not as certain about the plastic lining inside, but given the quality of everything else, I feel like I probably should be. The interior is very configurable. The pictures show that the pocket cells in the central compartment of the bag can be expanded out to securely snap into place or can be unsnapped and moved all the way to the side where there are additional snaps to hold them out of the way to make a larger space for bulkier items that wouldnt otherwise fit. There are pockets on almost every side, including an inside zip on the closing flap, and theres an adjustable cross-shoulder strap for carrying as a pack on your back with potential connection points at all 4 corners (I had no problem getting it to sit at the proper level on my back for comfort & safety quickly & easily), as well as handles midway plus at each end for carrying it like luggage when desired. This is definitely a quality made bag, and the price point is more than appropriate.

What a great quality bag! Lots of sections, big and small, zips work well, great storage capacity. No complains at all! A little up there in price but you really are getting a quality product. One thing I should mention, do not leave it near flame/heater. I left mine near my heater and suddenly my whole living starting to smell but something was burning, it was a small strap from this bag that was too closer to the heater. Now this isnt the products fault its my own. But I thought I should mention especially if you plan on being around campfire!

I waited years for this thing to come out and it is everything I wanted! I am finally organized with my cycling gear! Only change Id make is for the shoe panel to have some mesh so it can breathe while still being zipped up. Thule: go see Osprey in this department cause they rock it with their mesh!

The partitions, zipper pouches and overall construction was well thought out and allows me to keep all the essentials loaded and ready to go. Tubes, CO2, Tires, Kits, Rain gear and back up water bottles, tools, cleats are always available. Always prepared and looks great too with the addition of a few patches!

This is by far the best bike bag I have come across. The only downfall is the organizing slots are not sealed off to the bottom of the bag. Any small items such as gloves usually will not stay in the right slot. Jerseys, Chamois, shorts etc all stay in place generally because they are wedged in the slot.
