Thule GoPack Duffel

Works well for me. Fits perfectly in the cargo box. Not something I would carry around but nice for organizing and storing things on top of vehicle

Seem to do what they where designed to do.

We were looking for some easy to carry and stow bags for an upcoming family trip to Disney World in Florida. These are for my nephew and myself - two bags each. Were taking my sisters minivan which has a Thule rooftop cargo carrier, so these fit the bill perfectly. The bags are a nice medium size so even when fully stuffed they wont be too heavy. I find this mind boggling, but nowhere on the Amazon page or the Thule manufacturers web page do they give the dimensions of the bags!! Specs: Storage capacity: 3 cu ft (60L per Thule site) Dimensions: 28-5/8 long x 15 wide x 12-1/8 tall Weight: 1.7 lbs (each) At $50 per bag I find these expensive as they are only mid-quality bags. These are fine for casual use just storing items in the Thule carriers, but I dont recommend these for use on a daily basis - they just wouldnt hold up very long. The fabric is pretty sturdy, but the stitching throughout the bag is not very rugged. The carry handle is a nice thick webbing, but each end of the straps is only stitched across in one place to the body of the bag. Better bags, and even many cheap bags, have a loop of webbing that encircles the bag at each end and forms the handles, which is a far more durable design. I would expect the handles on the Thule bags to tear away from the body eventually if subjected to frequent heavy loads. The lightly padded shoulder strap is a bit better designed as its meant to be attached to the end handles which are far better sewn into the body of the bag. The end handles have sturdy loops of webbing that you clip the shoulder strap onto. The clips are rugged plastic with wire spring loaded closures that seem sturdy and stay closed well. I would recommend using the shoulder strap and/or the end handles for routine carrying as these are much more robust than the carry handles. The bags have a water-resistant lining, and the zippers are covered with a flap of overhanging fabric to help keep out rain and snow. The bags should repel light rain and moisture but are definitely not water proof. I like the ID windows and color coded cards as this will help my nephew and I tell our bags apart. There is only one zippered storage pouch at the outside end of the bag, I would have liked at least one more zippered compartment inside the bag for toiletries, etc. Despite the Thule logo saying THULE SWEDEN the bags are made in China - I found that a bit misleading. ***½ 3.5 STARS - MARGINAL RECOMMENDATION ***½

Let’s discuss two things that make these bags awesome and their significance. They’re lightweight and they FIT PERFECTLY inside my Thule motion. This is important because there is a weight limit to both the box and whatever mounts you have on the top of your vehicle. So if you want the no brained option, very light bags that just work? Pick the Thule bags for your cargo box

Unpacked empty squeeze down to very small. Packed they hold a great amount of clothing etc. Very soft sides they take full advantage of the space in a car rooftop carrier.

Very pleased lots of room to fill numerous items

We bought these because it was shown that the integrated well with the carrier, we just purchased for our Subaru Outback. They work great! We were able to take everything we needed on our trip with room to spare. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but they work perfectly...

Talk about being organized! My car was packed to the gills in a cross country move. Was able to pack my immediate necessities like bedding and shower curtains in these bags. Easily tied down in the Thule cargo box. All my other stuff was in the moving truck which wasn’t unloaded for a few days after arrival. So glad I had these so accessible. Even used one in the back of the car as a suitcase. Very sturdy and hold a lot! Will use for camping trips! Worth the price.

First off, I have to say that I appreciate the USB drive with the marketing videos and Thule catalog in the package. It has really opened my eyes and reminded me how many products Thule makes. Most of us generally know them from their car accessories (bike mounts and so forth). Ive been using one of their backpacks for a while now and you know it was designed with usability in mind. The same amount of effort is shown in the Thule Gopack Duffel Set. These duffle bags are large, high quality, color coded, and have reflective materials. The bag has one large compartment that could fit as much clothes as a 21-inch roller bag. There is a side compartment at one end of the bag. Both compartments are zippered though the smaller compartment only has 1 zipper. Handles are installed at both ends and convenient because Im never reaching to a wrong side to pick up the bag. Theres also a space for name tags on both ends of the bag. This is great if youre traveling with it as it helps with identifying it at the baggage gate. If the preinstalled shoulder straps are too long, there is an optional shorter arm strap that you can clip on. Its hard for me to find any faults with this duffle bag but if I’m nitpicking then I would prefer that there be two small zippered pockets on both ends (instead of just the one).

Its no exaggeration that my reusable grocery store bags are more sturdy than these. We didnt return them because it would cost over $30 to ship back to Amazon UK so we will try to sell on eBay instead. These are our worst Amazon purchase and experience. Were huge Thule fans. We have their roof box, stroller, etc. These bags are not up to par.
