I have had a cragsmith for 10 years, it has been the best traveling back pack i have ever had.
Top pocket for passport, wallet and keys the rest for clothes everything is easy and accessible.
Fits on a plane overhead as well.
Totally awesome

I’m so happy these bags aren’t overbuilt and decently light. I’m so tired of travel bags weighing 3-5 pounds when unpacked.

I have 4 of the Black Hole collection, a duffel, wheeled carryon, backpack and hip bag. I love your quality and social activism. Thank you.

[Tony]

Looks great! I really didn't like the shiny black holes so it's great to see them in more muted and understated, dare I say timeless, options. I'll definitely pick up a duffle or two and that monster tote.

[Andrew-CZ]

Patagonia is my love brand. I use the smaller tote bag very often. And the mini hip pack. And the clothes. A lot of them. I am so happy with quality and attention to details.

[TylerWoodward]

Love how the 45L MLC opens like a book and doesn't have a drop down clam shell design like your typical backpack. Putting one of those and the hip pack on the must have list!

[koreyb]

It's nice to have mesh/see through in some part for packing cubes.

[Jaypher]

As someone with a 55L Black Hole, I wish it was more like the Cotopaxi Allpa Duffel. So many more compartments and organizational options with it.

[keithsee]

mine was the shiny version but no complains as these bags are great and really a black hole

[TheSwexican]

Love the updates. 14L for the largest packing cube looks cool.

[johnnybyup]

Black hole Duffles are the best. I have 2 of each size. 1 for my wife and 1 for me.

[AlpineIce]

Bring back the 120L Black Hole, please‼

[Alekkd]

We need a home tour of Austin Robbs place

[toddhunt]

looks like expedition bag for my 19 day trip lol

[dominey]

Nice looking bags. Wish I could order the 100L wheeled duffle in that red color!

[TheBanj]

Nice breakdown. Missed one of my favorite features though. The hip belt on the Mini MLC doubles as a shoulder strap for carrying it messenger bag style. . .

[reneev]

I have the older 30 l backpack that had 2 massive. It even had a soft zip pocket on the top for sunglasses with a soft lining. I can't imagine why patagonia moved away from that design style. It's been all over Europe. Why didn't you guys just fine tune it. Yes, it's shiney, but it is amazing.

[henriknordgren]

I love my large Black Hole Bag, but I miss the compression straps on the outside to make it smaller and keep it tight when not fully packed.

[AaronEMorales]

They look like good, solid products. I don’t understand the large obnoxious branding though.

[AboutThings_byTarif]

The super prominent branding truly keeps some of us from buying your seemingly awesome bags. Just thought you should know. Just a small mountain logo in a corner should do guys.
