Patagonia 25L Black Hole Pack
Best durable everyday carry for organized urban explorers.
This Patagonia Black Hole Pack is designed for maximum carry-on convenience, fitting most airline carriers without protruding wheels or handles. It features a spacious main compartment with internal organization pockets and a dedicated, TSA-compliant laptop compartment that lies flat for easy security checks. The pack offers three carrying configurations—backpack, shoulder bag, or duffel—with all straps tucking away neatly. A padded, stowable hip belt can also function as a shoulder strap, offering versatile carrying options. External lash points provide additional gear-carrying capacity, and a wide webbing loop on the back panel allows for easy attachment to rolling luggage.

Know before you buy
While the 45-liter capacity is designed to meet most airline carry-on requirements for overhead bins, it may be too large to fit comfortably under the seat in front of you on smaller aircraft.
The pack features stowable shoulder straps and a removable hip belt that doubles as a shoulder strap. You can tuck the backpack straps away to carry it as a duffel or attach the hip belt to use it as a shoulder bag.
Yes, the dedicated laptop compartment is TSA-compliant and designed to lie flat, allowing you to pass through security checkpoints without removing your device. It is padded and sized to accommodate most 19-inch laptops.
Yes, the pack includes external lash points that allow you to secure items like yoga mats, jackets, or extra gear to the exterior of the bag when the main compartment is full.
The pack is constructed from recycled TPU laminate, which provides a highly water-resistant finish. While it can handle light rain and splashes, it is not fully submersible or waterproof.
Yes, there is a wide webbing loop on the back panel specifically designed to slide over the handle of a rolling suitcase for easier navigation through airports.
