Product Description
The Patagonia Black Hole 25L Backpack is a burly, do-it-all daypack designed to handle daily life and weekend adventures with ease. With 25 litres of space, it’s the sweet spot for commuting, travelling, heading to the gym or packing for a day outdoors.

Made from 100% recycled polyester ripstop with a recycled TPU-film laminate, it delivers the legendary durability you expect from Black Hole bags — but now with a lower environmental impact and a sleek matte finish. It’s tough, weather-resistant and built to cope with everything from train platforms to trailheads.

The roomy main compartment includes a padded sleeve that fits most 15" laptops, plus a zippered mesh pocket for smaller items. A large front stash pocket keeps essentials organised and easy to grab, while a smaller top zip pocket is perfect for keys, sunglasses or your phone.

Comfort is covered too, thanks to the breathable airmesh back panel, padded shoulder straps and sternum strap for stability. It even stacks neatly over rolling luggage using the back-panel pass-through — ideal for travel days.
