Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC 30L Birch White

The Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC 30L in Birch White is a compact carry-on travel backpack built for short trips, cabin travel and everyday movement. With a 30-litre capacity and a soft-sided layout designed for one-bag travel, it combines the organisation of a small suitcase with the flexibility of a backpack.

The main compartment includes two internal organisation pockets, while an exterior stretch-mesh pocket keeps a water bottle close at hand. A dedicated padded laptop compartment fits most 15-inch laptops and opens flat for easier airport security checks. A wide webbing loop on the back can also be slipped over the handle of rolling luggage.

The carry system adapts easily between different travel situations. Tuck-away shoulder straps let you use the Mini MLC as a backpack, while the padded hip belt doubles as a shoulder strap. Stow the straps and the bag can also be carried duffel or briefcase-style using the reinforced grab handles.
