- Is the 70L Black Hole Duffel carry-on size?
- No. At 27.5 x 14 x 11.8 inches it exceeds most airlines' carry-on limits. It works as a checked bag or for road trips.
- Can it be carried as a backpack?
- Yes. It has padded, stowable shoulder straps that convert it into a backpack, which helps with heavy loads.
- Is it waterproof?
- It is weather-resistant, not fully waterproof. The coated ripstop and sturdy base shed rain and snow, but a long soak can get through seams and the zipper.
- How does it compare with The North Face Base Camp Duffel?
- Both are rugged travel duffels. The Black Hole is heavier and more weather-sealed; the Base Camp is generally lighter and comes in more sizes.
- How do you clean it?
- Patagonia says hand wash, do not bleach, drip dry and do not iron. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Does it pack down for storage?
- Yes. The duffel stuffs into its own pocket, which makes it easy to store between trips.
