I bought the 130 liter Thule Chasm duffel as my main piece of luggage for a 4 week trip involving car travel, hotel stays, cruise ships, and a train. I needed clothing and some equipment for two very different climates, so I wanted a big piece of luggage that fit within airline dimensions but was sturdy and flexible and which could be put on wheels when necessary. The Thule Chasm 130L is 34" x 18" x 16.5", a total linear dimensional measurement of 68.5" which is over the airlines 62" dimensional limits if fully packed and expanded. However, if not packed to bursting, the bag's compression straps can be used to reduce the dimensions to what the airlines will accept. If airline limits aren't applicable, this bag easily can be packed in excess of both the size and 50# weight limits, yet is still manageable.
The bag has multiple carry options, with optional backpack straps, a top carry handle, and grab handles on both ends. This made moving the bag around fairly easy, despite its large size. I wouldn't recommend carrying it long distances when packed full with clothing, however - it doesn't take the place of a decent backpack for hiking. Its weight when packed also makes it less than idea for long carry with the handles. I brought a collapsible two-wheeled aluminum handtruck with me that I could carry into the airline cabin after checking the bag. (Wheeled bags reduce the net luggage weight since the wheels are included in the airlines weight measurement.) I could place this duffel vertically on the handtruck and still have room for another smaller duffel to sit horizontally on top, all strapped in place to prevent shifting.
The internal mesh pockets are useful for some internal organization, and the external pocket at one end provides storage for items to be accessed quickly without opening the entire bag. There isn't any internal organization for the main compartment; I use "packing cubes" (Amazon Basics ones work fine) to keep my clothing organized.
Overall it is a great bag assuming you need this much storage space. It is an extremely big bag, and it holds a lot. Just the ticket if you have a lot to transport and need to keep your bag count down, but is overkill if you don't. One way to think of it is as the modern equivalent of a steamer trunk.
