The straps are easily-deployed and offer a nice shape and sufficient padding for carrying comfort. No, it’s not a proper backpack and you won’t want to carry it all day, but you certainly could if push came to shove. With the load properly compressed, the shoulder straps turn this bag into a trekking bag that’s comfortable to haul for long distances. Yes, this bag features three carrying methods: standard handle, webbing handle loops on either end and removable shoulder straps. In addition to keeping things in place, it compresses the bag for a more comfortable carry with the shoulder straps deployed. All my gear fit neatly inside - including my helmet, cycling shoes and trail running shoes with various items in the large zippered pocket.Īs you can see, the bag features a criss-cross compression system to keep everything in place - in spite of the not-so-careful hands of the TSA or my young kids. As you’d expect, I don’t go anywhere without a bike in tow and the Black Hole swallowed everything in style. We loaded up all the kids gear into their respective bags and then I gathered all my needed clothing, shoes and bike gear. My first trip using the Black Hole 90L was a two-week road trip for a family reunion in Madison, SD. As with all of Patagonia’s products, their goal is to make something that will last a lifetime - and the new Black Hole 90L duffel may outlast me. Hauling all the necessary gear to the airport or on other modes of transportation requires the right kind of luggage. It’s for family vacations and solo camping expeditions. It’s for loading up the car and heading out of town for a night or a string of nights.
