What is the Black Hole® Duffel 55L?
The Black Hole® Duffel is a workhorse bag designed to venture anywhere you want to. It's made with durable materials and is ideal for almost any adventure, whether heading on a family holiday, a multi-day road trip, or a challenging expedition.
What is it made of?
This bag is made with 900D 100% recycled polyester ripstop, with a postindustrial, recycled, weather-resistant TPU-film laminate.
It's hard to describe how strong this material is; the density is incredibly high, so reinforcing it with TPU laminate means it's no force to be reckoned with! This choice of materials will allow this bag to stand the test of time, no matter how much of a beating it gets or how far you travel with it, so you can rely on it repeatedly for years, if not decades.
It's also lined with 200D recycled polyester, which has a PU coating for further reinforcement and protection.
This product is 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?
This duffel bag has padded, removable, ergonomic shoulder straps, which allow you to carry it like a backpack when you'd prefer. Reinforced haul handles withstand overzealous baggage handlers, too, ensuring your bag won't come out of the airport looking chewed up.
It has a zipped pocket that can be reached from both the inside and outside of the bag, perfect for stowing small essentials. An additional interior mesh lid pocket helps to keep items organised, while reinforced daisy chain attachment points allow you to carry extra gear externally if the 55L capacity doesn't suffice.
The padded base offers extra protection for your belongings when travelling. When the bag is empty, you can also stuff the duffel into its own pocket for a compact storage solution.
If you're seeking further storage and organisation for your travels, then this duffel bag pairs well with Patagonia's Black Hole® Cubes; it can fit up to three 14L cubes while still offering extra room for a few more items.
