Product Description

The Patagonia Black Hole 55L Duffel is designed to handle heavy use, unpredictable weather and demanding travel schedules with ease. Constructed from tough 100% recycled 900D polyester ripstop and finished with a recycled TPU-film laminate, it shrugs off abrasions, moisture and rough handling while maintaining a clean, modern look. The padded base adds extra protection when the bag’s dropped on hard ground or loaded with heavier kit.

Inside, a zippered side pocket provides quick access from both the interior and exterior, while a mesh pocket under the lid keeps smaller essentials organised and easy to find. When not in use, the duffel stuffs neatly into its own pocket for compact storage. Removable padded shoulder straps convert it into a backpack for hands-free carry, and reinforced daisy chains allow extra gear to be lashed on securely. Spacious, tough and thoughtfully designed, the Black Hole 55L is built to go the distance—trip after trip.
