Thule / The Bikepack

Thule x The Bikepack

Here’s the scenario, it’s weekend and the sun is kissing your skin. You are heading out with your pals for a weekend of cycling and ready to get going! When you are travelling with your bike you probably know what we are talking about when we say that keeping all your gear in order can be a handful! 

You need to bring all your favorite jerseys, that light multi tool you bought yesterday and your gel that will save you when the tough gets tougher. Imagine everything you have to bring for a weekend cycling – now imagine it in neat order for your entire weekend.. feels like a pretty big mountain to climb dont it? Well, we are happy to give you the remedy for all your “cycle packing” related troubles.

The “all you can think of will fit in here” Bike Duffel from Thule is here and it’s literally a lifesaver for everyone in the cycling game! We had the great pleasure of giving this bag a try and here’s a bit about the people behind it and what we think after using it.

Thule is a Swedish outdoor and adventure company, founded in 1942, same year as the Duck tape was invented and Bing Crosby released the known and loved song “White Christmas”. You may think this was a lifetime ago… but there is nothing old about Thule today.

If you’ve seen a car with a kayak, SUP or any other adventure gear attached to the roof and ready to hit stix, chances are pretty big that you’ve seen them around. Thule started out with a focus on car- related products allowing you to bring all of your gear to the most remote of adventures but if you think that Thule only builds roof racks you have to think again!

The adventure don’t stop when you step out of your car, that is when your adventure really begins! When you heed the calling of the great outdoor and turn of the beaten path, forget about the must’s and embrace the maybe’s, think no more about tomorrow and live fully for today – this is when the adventure begins!

We like Thule, not just because they are based in our backyard, or cause of their cool heritage but because off how their gear support us through every step of a great adventure. How they always thrill us with a high level of intuitive “smartness” – handy pockets, features and quirky details that you just gotta love em for.

The bag kind of feels like Newt Scamander’s suitcase in the movie “Fantastic beasts and where to find them” (see link if this reference is too far fetched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7yIiVQ8jCg : ) in how it swallows everything you throw at it and how it holds way more than you could ever imagine.

This Duffel makes so much sense, with its designated pockets and stowaway spaces for all your cycling gear. If you have a peace of cycling gear you want to bring – there is a pocket for it! For you helmet, cycling glasses, spare tubes, snacks, shoes, dirty gear, cycling clothes and then some. Smart compartments for every need.

One of the best thing about the duffel is that it all is stacked in “cells”! The cells offer easy access to all your gear! Say goodbye to digging through the bag, for what feels like hours, to find that clean jersey!

The cells not only help you to keep track of your stuff but also helps you remember to bring all your gear needed for the ride as you easily get an overview and can see everything you have packed.

The wrap-up

This duffel is like your best friend keeping you organised while you thinking about the cycling part of your trip! If you like us use to struggle with keeping all your gear in order, then this is a great solution! Fits everyone from the pro cyclist to the bike-packing enthusiast and the weekend warriors!
