I’ve been lurking on this sub for a while, and after going down multiple rabbit holes comparing countless packs, I finally pulled the trigger on a Patagonia Black Hole 32L.
The main reasons I went for it:
- Design & material - I’m absolutely in love with the clean, understated look and the weather-resistant(ish) fabric. It feels like it can take a beating without looking worn.
- Versatility - The minimal internal organization is a big win for me. It means I can set it up however I want with packing cubes, pouches, or just throw everything in for a quick trip.
- Multi-purpose use - While it’s going to be my go-to travel bag for one-bag trips, I also plan to use it for EDC and work. It feels like the kind of pack that can transition from a flight to the office without looking out of place.
- Size sweet spot - 32L feels like a perfect middle ground for me - enough space for multi-day travel, but still manageable for everyday carry without feeling like I’m lugging around a suitcase on my back.
- Price - It was a bit pricier than what I usually pay for a backpack, but now that I have it in hand, I honestly believe it’s a bargain.
So far, first impressions are great. I’ll be putting it to the test on a short trip in September, and I’ll come back with a post on how it performed and how I’ve been using it.
For those of you who own a Patagonia Black Hole - do you still love yours as much as when you first got it?
