What is the Ultralight Black Hole® Mini Hip Pack 1L?
It's a super lightweight hip pack made with extremely durable materials, meaning it's guaranteed to last you a lifetime. The Ultralight Black Hole® Hip Pack is perfect for virtually any activity, from travelling the globe to short day hikes and dog walks closer to home.
What is it made of?
The body of this hip pack is made with bluesign® approved postconsumer recycled ripstop nylon with a silicone coating on the face and PU coating on the back. The two coatings combined with the substantial ripstop material make for a super durable material that is sure to last for years, if not decades, by reinforcing the structure of the fabric while amplifying weather resistance tenfold.
The bag is lined with recycled polyester that is finished with a PU coating, again enhancing durability and weather resistance without adding excessive weight and bulk to the design.
bluesign® approval indicates that the material is manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
This product is also made in a Fair Trade Factory™, giving Patagonia more control of the operations in the factories they choose to work with. Patagonia proudly offers more Fair Trade styles than any other apparel brand in the current market. But how does it work? Patagonia pays a premium for every item made in one of these factories, and this money goes directly to the factory workers. A democratically elected committee of Fair Trade workers will decide how this extra money gets spent in each Fair Trade factory. The program also promotes worker health and safety, and social and environmental compliance, while encouraging healthier dialogue between workers and management.
What are its features?
The bag's main compartment has a zippered pocket and a zipped security pocket for small, more valuable items like keys and cash.
You can wear this bag around your waist or even sling it over your shoulder using the soft, herringbone webbing belt. Its lightweight design feels comfy for all-day wear and casual errands, whether walking the dog or doing the weekly shop.
The Black Hole® Mini Hip Pack also stuffs into its own pocket for easy storage, making it an easy accessory to stow into a backpack for travelling and multi-day adventures.
A one-litre pack volume provides plenty of room for basic essentials like trail snacks, doggy bags, or a mobile phone.
