Why We Like The Patagonia Black Hole 40L Duffel Bag
The smallest bag in Patagonia's Black Hole lineup, the 40L is one of the line's most versatile options and among our favorites. Its undeniably strong and burly ripstop fabric withstands the wear of globetrotting travels and daily outdoor adventures, and boasts a highly water-resistant construction that's verging on waterproof when we're caught out in the downpour.

Great weekend duffle
This is a very useful duffle. I love the backpack straps which make it easy to carry this around. The bag holds more than you think and appears very well made.

Perfect carryon
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Great bag, I've had this for a few years. It fits as a carry-on. I use it for all trips longer than a few days. It is big enough for a warm weather trip to fit all of my clothes and clothes for my kid. Definitely pair it with packing cubes to organize the cavernous space. If you pack right, you can even fit your daypack inside of this, so you only have to carry one bag though the airport. Be careful about loading it too heavy because it gets uncomfortable to carry long distances or extended periods because there is no hip belt.

Great Duffel -thinner material than NF
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 40L
I have a few North Face Base Camps in larger sizes. Their duffels definitely have thicker waterproof fabrics that make it seem they will last longer, but I wanted something more collapsible for a smaller duffel so went with the Patagonia. The Patagonia doesn’t disappoint at all. Have had my NF duffels for many years… hoping this one is just as good.
