Patagonia lightens up Black Hole bag collection

  • Ron 

Patagonia has expanded its legendary Black Hole™ bag family to include a collection of light, highly packable yet durable travel bags with enough technical chops for the opportunistic wanderer.

The new Lightweight Black Hole collection still swallows gear, endures abuse and carries all the essentials, but the five styles can all easily be packed away and disappear into larger pieces of luggage when they aren’t in use or deploy again in an instant when you need them. The collection consists of a 20 and 26-liter pack, a 30 and 45-liter duffel and a 28-liter gear tote. Each piece in the collection is built with a new fabric that is 50% lighter than the original Black Hole fabric.
