THULE CHASM COLLECTION
FOR CAR ROOF- and bike racks, streamlined stowage boxes, cargo carriers, child-seat solutions, and all manner of luggage and bags, Thule’s range is comprehensive, made with careful attention to detail and, most of all, tough. And now the popular Chasm luggage collection has been expanded, bolstering the selection for travellers, especially those bent on outdoor adventures. The weather-resistant tarpaulin fabric has two new colours too, while the new Chasm 26 L backpack swallows up your everyday accessories with its dedicated padded pockets, and laptopand sunglasses compartments.
The Chasm Carry On and Wheeled Duffel models feature hard-wearing Thule V-tubing channelling on their telescoping handles and, if you’ve flown anywhere, you’ll know that durability is key when it comes to luggage handlers and your bags. The oversized wheels cope well with uneven surfaces and, as with many other Thule luggage items, the impact-resistant polycarbonate base provides a solid foundation for the design. Cinch the outside dimensions using the external compression straps, keeping your belongings snug inside. RRP from R2 799–R6 499 thulestore.co.za
