Black Hole Mini MLC Backpack 26L.
Review by Allan W. on 21 Sep 2023 review stating Black Hole Mini MLC Backpack 26L.
Loved this bag however returned it. Decided I didn't want to be a traveling Patagonia ad. The logo is way to pronounced. Quality was excellent

Perfectly sized back for a petite woman
Review by Karishma P. on 13 May 2024 review stating Perfectly sized back for a petite woman
I have been comparing bags for onebag travel and finally decided on this one. It's got enough pockets and a main compartment to allow for my packing cubes. I like the semi-soft structure that allows it to be crushed down if you need to squeeze it into tight spaces, and you can hide the straps, sternum strap and hip belt. It has a water bottle pock...Read MoreRead more about I have been comparing bags for onebag
et on the outside with several daisy chain loops. The laptop and tablet sleeves are at the back (not middle or front) and has a false bottom. The back look is overall very clean and appears to be water resistant. The bag itself is lighter compared to other 30-45L packs (just over 2 lbs). For reference, I'm a 5' tall woman, and it fits comfortably on my back without sagging.
I'm going to use it for a 10-day trip to Italy and then a 1-day trip to Chicago. Super excited and highly recommend so far. Read LessRead less about I have been comparing bags for onebag

Perfect for work
Review by Catherine C. on 21 Sep 2023 review stating Perfect for work
We needed a backpack for work travel and this is a great size. Plenty of compartments and very minimal in terms of styling so it doesn’t look out of place if it is used for short work trips. We bought this because of the great reviews online and it does live up to them.

Black hole mini
Review by Heather on 18 Oct 2024 review stating Black hole mini
I love this pack! I researched a lot before I bought this. And I think I made the right choice. I watched utubes, and read all reviews everywhere. I didn’t want a rolling carry on, and I didn’t want too big of a pack. We are often in ‘off the beaten track’ situations, where a rolling pack is unsuitable. This meets all carry on requirements.

mportantly, I don’t fly much. So, I wanted the bag for a couple days of visiting family and friends, or in hotels. I have used it several times already, and it holds way more than you would think. For my town visits, it has a shoulder strap. Being Patagonia, it’s obviously of great quality and the company deserves supporting.
If you want enough storage for at least up to 5 days or even more, you’ll be happy with it. Lots of organizational components. Read LessRead less about I love this pack! I researched a lot

Perfect carry-on
Review by Jenny W. on 22 Dec 2023 review stating Perfect carry-on
This the 2nd Blackhole MLC backpack I have purchased. I purchased one for my friend that I am travelling with on a cycling trip in Asia. We were able to fit everything we needed for a month, perfect for carry-on domestic flights. We left the hips straps behind to reduce weight and bulk. In my opinion, the only part of the pack that is redundant is...Read MoreRead more about This the 2nd Blackhole MLC backpack I

Versatile travel backpack
Review by Liu G. on 27 Jun 2023 review stating Versatile travel backpack
A versatile backpack for travel. Great in backpack mode. Wished the shoulder strap were a bit longer though as it sits higher that I would like (just above hip) when the strap was used. I personally find that rather annoying/bulky especially if the bag is packed full. A pity as I like almost every other aspect about it - good organization, main co...Read MoreRead more about A versatile backpack for travel. Great

Great quality bag that has good organisation. The laptop pocket has a gap to the bottom of the bag and fits my 16” MacBook Pro well.

The green/mustard is an awesome
Review by Farhad S. on 30 Mar 2025 review stating The green/mustard is an awesome
The green/mustard is an awesome colour. Works great for people who need the pre-built organization pockets and poches Including the extensive laptop/electronics comportment. However that means extra weight and that the main storage space is not as adaptable to every possible need.

Bag with great organization
Review by Catherine B. on 30 Mar 2025 review stating Bag with great organization
I bought this bag as a carry-on and it is perfect, not too big but still ample space to carry a laptop, a tablet and some essentials. The bag opens like s suitcase which makes it very practical
