Summary

The Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L blends suitcase-like organization with backpack carry, offering a roomy 45L capacity, a padded hipbelt and shoulder straps for comfortable carry, and strong weather protection thanks to a TPU-laminated shell and PU-coated liner. It's bulky and lacks external pockets, but its build and hybrid design make it a solid choice for long trips and as a travel-work crossover.

Pros

+Padded hipbelt and shoulder straps provide comfortable carry when loaded
+TPU-coated shell and PU-coated liner offer durability and weather resistance
+Solid internal organization for large and small items

Cons

-May be too large to fit in overhead compartments on small aircraft
-Main fabric isn’t as thick as some more durable models
