Thule Chasm 26L Backpack Black

I really liked the Thule Chasm backpack and would recommend it for the commuter or weekend traveller. It is very spacious, has lots of good storage and good padding. I would say it fits both your office and your gym gear. The fabric and quality seem weather resistant and durable. I ended up returning it as I decided to go with a hiking backpack instead, but the next time I need a new commuter backpack, this one is on the top of my list. I am 5’6”/168 cm tall, and I would say that it is on the bigger side for me length-wise, but I would still recommend it.

I travel a lot and this is finally the perfect size backpack to travel with. It fits above your seats in the airplane and it also fits underneath the seat. I can fit my laptop, books, water bottle, all my charging wires, iPad, and even a comfy jacket and still doesn't feel too big and bulky. The straps are also very comfortable and makes traveling with it while walking around the airport so much more enjoyable.

I’ve had this backpack for 6 months and use it daily. In general it’s just frustrating to use and difficult to handle.Pros:-sleek design, snag free-durable materials. Still looks the same as the first day I got it-comfortable to wear- good internal compartmentsCons:-zippers have a lot of resistance, not smooth-zipper tabs are short and difficult to get a good hold on-backpack has no natural balance so it’s constantly wanting to fall over as you pack it-due to sleek design there just aren’t many good places to get a good grip on it. I find it slipping out of my hands or falling over often when I try to pull it from the seat behind me or pull it out of the car.-looped webbing along the front is quite tight. It’s difficult to attach and remove ... MoreI’ve had this backpack for 6 months and use it daily.

It’s difficult to attach and remove carabiners or other clips.-main pocket opening is pretty limited. Zippers don’t go very far down so you can’t fold the top flap back very far.
