Know before you buy
No, the 70L size exceeds standard airline carry-on dimensions. You will need to check this bag at the gate or ticket counter.
The bag features padded, removable shoulder straps that make it comfortable for short treks or navigating through terminals. However, because it lacks a structured frame or hip belt, it is best suited for carrying gear between vehicles and lodging rather than long-distance hiking.
The bag is highly water-resistant thanks to its TPU-film laminate, meaning it will easily handle rain, snow, and splashes. It is not, however, fully waterproof or submersible, so it should not be submerged in water.
The Black Hole duffle is designed to be highly packable. It stuffs into its own zippered side pocket, collapsing into a compact shape that is easy to tuck away in a closet or under a bed.
The main compartment is a single, large space designed for maximum capacity. It includes one internal mesh lid pocket for smaller items, but you may want to use packing cubes if you prefer to keep your clothing and gear separated.
Yes, the padded shoulder straps are adjustable to help you find a comfortable fit. They can also be completely removed if you prefer to carry the bag using the reinforced haul handles.
