- Is the Black Hole 70L carry-on size?
- No. At 70 liters it exceeds most airlines' carry-on limits and is meant as a checked or gear bag. For cabin travel, look at the 40L version.
- Can it be carried as a backpack?
- Yes. It has removable padded shoulder straps that convert it to a backpack, plus a padded top handle for duffel-style carrying.
- How water resistant is it?
- The recycled ripstop has a water-resistant finish and a protective zip flap, so it handles rain and snow. It is not submersible, so pack electronics in a dry bag.
- Does it have separate compartments?
- It has one large main compartment with a zip mesh pocket inside. There are no dividers, so packing cubes help organize gear.
- How does it compare with The North Face Base Camp duffel?
- The Base Camp has a heavier, more abrasion-resistant base and fixed straps. The Black Hole is lighter, packs down smaller and has removable straps, but offers less protection for rough handling.
- What is the warranty?
- Patagonia covers it under its ironclad guarantee: they repair damage or replace the bag if it fails in normal use.
