The Patagonia Black Hole Duffel is a versatile, durable bag that excels in storage, organization, and transport, making it suitable for rugged expeditions, travel, and camping. Tested in 100L and 55L sizes, it features easily removable backpack straps, multiple pockets, water-repellent recycled fabric, and a padded base, with minor gripes around suitcase handle button snaps and the lack of a small-items pouch.
The Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 55L is a lightweight, spacious duffel-style pack that can be carried as a backpack. It offers excellent volume for its weight, rugged durability, and weather protection with a storm flap and tough materials, making it a strong choice for multi-day trips and travel. Its main drawbacks are limited internal organization, no hip belt, and a structureless design that can feel unstable if not packed carefully.
