Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L Travel Bag Regular Fit Black – Flexible, Sustainable, Ready for Global Adventures

The Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L Travel Bag Regular Fit Black is designed for travelers who value flexibility, durability, and efficiency. This bag combines the convenience of a soft-sided suitcase with the versatility of a backpack and shoulder bag, meeting the maximum carry-on size for most airlines. Made entirely from recycled materials—including the body, lining, webbing, and TPU film—this Black Hole MLC 45L is a conscious choice for those who prioritize sustainability.

Materials and Construction

The exterior is crafted from 300D recycled polyester ripstop with a recycled TPU film, providing durability and weather resistance. The lining is made from 200D recycled polyester with a PU coating. Shoulder straps and hip belt are made from recycled airmesh for comfort and breathability. All fabrics are bluesign® approved and the bag is Fair Trade Certified™.

Organization and Layout

The spacious 45-liter main compartment offers ample room for clothing and travel essentials. Inside, two organizational pockets and an additional top drop-in pocket keep smaller items accessible. A dedicated tech compartment fits most 15-inch laptops and includes space for documents and cords; this compartment zips open and lies flat for easy TSA compliance.

Carry Options and Functionality

The Black Hole MLC 45L can be carried three ways: as a backpack, shoulder bag, or duffel. All straps can be stowed away when not in use. The padded hip belt doubles as a shoulder strap. External lash points allow for attaching extra gear. A wide webbing loop on the back panel acts as a haul handle or can be slipped over rolling luggage handles for easy airport movement.

Weighing 1635 grams, this travel bag is sturdy yet manageable. It’s ideal for both short trips and extended journeys, offering maximum flexibility without compromising on sustainability or comfort.
