Why the Thule travel bags and suitcases are the first choice for us!

“What suitcases and bags do you use when travelling?” And “What is the best luggage for a family?” Are questions that we are asked again and again. Anyone who has ever travelled with children knows the challenge: a suitcase is more than just a bag. It is often a mobile home that has to accommodate everything that families need on the road. Clothes, toys, snacks and emergency equipment – everything needs to be safely stowed. And because travelling with children is sometimes a bit chaotic and spontaneous, our luggage must also be flexible and able to withstand a lot.
After countless tests and experiences with different suitcases and bags, a clear favourite has emerged for us: The Thule suitcases and travel bags. Especially the Thule Chasm with its 90 litres is in use with us for every type of holiday. Why? Because it fits perfectly with our requirements for luggage and goes with everything – from spontaneous road trips to relaxed train journeys to flights with stopovers.
What a good travel companion for families must be able to do
For us, the ideal luggage is flexible, light, robust and well thought out – just a companion that adapts to family life. A bag that can keep up when the children (or yourself) find new souvenirs and the volume unexpectedly increases, or when we have to carry it spontaneously like a backpack, because all hands are needed when changing trains or on the stairs.
Every time we pack our Thule luggage for the next trip, we are again delighted with how practical these bags are. A good suitcase or bag must be for us:
-
- Be light and flexible: On the way to the train or plane, we don’t want to have to carry extra kilos around with us.
- Be versatile: With the practical backpack straps, we can shoulder the Thule Chasm like a backpack. Anyone who has ever travelled with small children when changing trains or on long platforms will know how useful this is.
- Quality that holds: From the zippers to the material, everything should be stable. Nothing is more annoying than when the suitcase gives up on the way.
- offer space for the unplanned: A suitcase for families must make it possible that “something goes in there” – whether it is souvenirs, lost and found objects or spontaneously bought things that only appear at the holiday destination.
Our experience with the Thule suitcases and travel bags
When we first decided on the Thule Chasm 90 litres, we had no idea how versatile this travel bag is. For us, it solves all mammoth tasks and is a real all-rounder when it comes to storing and carrying. A few scenes that have stuck in our memory show why she convinced us.
The first road trip – well packed from A to Z
On the first road trip with the Thule Chasm, we wanted to know how much space it actually offers. For a multi-day trip through Austria, we packed the clothes for all of us, favourite stuffed animals and even a small collection of games, which often serves us well on the road. The bag could be carried comfortably on the back when we had to walk the last few metres to the door at a hotel. An advantage that we have learned to love, because especially with small children a travel bag that you can carry hands-free on your back can be worth gold.
Flexibility in everyday life
Last summer our annual beach holiday was due, and the Thule Chasm of course went with us. What we noticed positively this time: The water-repellent surface. On the beach, the bag also landed on the sand, but dirt could be wiped off quickly. The inner compartments helped us to organise the clothes and towels and to store the wet things or dirty laundry without problems.
Spontaneous finds and souvenirs
No matter where we are, somehow little treasures accumulate with every trip. Sometimes it’s shells from the beach, sometimes it’s souvenirs from the city or clothes bought spontaneously. This was never a problem with the Thule Chasm. The bag gives so much that there was still room for an extra. In addition, the bag fits perfectly in the trunk and even leaves us space for smaller bags or children’s toys, which should always be at hand on long trips.
When we pack for our holidays, the luggage should be as uncomplicated as possible. That’s exactly what the Thule Chasm gives us. Robust, practical and well thought out – simply the perfect travel companion for families. The fact that the luggage is flexible and has a high quality gives us the necessary security when travelling. For all those who want a certain extra flexibility and quality when packing suitcases, we can only warmly recommend the Thule suitcases and travel bags.
If you would like to take a closer look at Thule luggage, you will find a selection of Thule travel bags as well as the complete range of Thule suitcases and travel bags.
With this luggage we are always well equipped – whether for the short city trip, the summer adventure by the sea or the long car ride. In the meantime we own two of the Thule travel bags, have expanded the collection with a cosmetic bag from Thule and are already flirting with the Thule suitcase with wheels.
