Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L
The Patagonia Black Hole MLC 45L is a versatile carry-on travel bag built for longer trips, international travel, and adventures that require serious organization. With a spacious 45-liter capacity and multiple carrying options, it combines the organization of a soft-sided suitcase with the convenience of a backpack.
Built with rugged 100% postconsumer recycled polyester ripstop and a recycled TPU-film laminate, the Black Hole MLC offers dependable weather and abrasion resistance for demanding travel. The large main compartment features multiple organizational pockets, while a dedicated padded tech compartment fits most 15-inch laptops and opens flat for easier airport security screening.
Three carrying configurations allow the MLC to function as a backpack, shoulder bag, or duffel, with straps that stow away when not in use. The padded hip belt doubles as the shoulder strap, while a wide back-panel webbing loop slides over rolling luggage handles for easier airport travel.
Designed around the maximum carry-on dimensions of most airlines, the Black Hole MLC 45L is an excellent option for travelers looking to maximize packing space without relying on traditional wheeled luggage.
