Patagonia | Backpack | Black Hole Pack 25L

Brief Description

The Patagonia Black Hole Pack 25L is the daypack from the Black Hole range: 25 liters with the brutal resistance of the TPU-laminated recycled ripstop that has made this line famous. Padded laptop sleeve, elastic side pockets for bottles, a breathable back panel, and a weather-resistant matte finish that repels splashes and withstands scuffs without flinching. Compact, straightforward, and built to last for years, it's the backpack you take to class, work, or exploring Palma without a worry.

Main Features

• Recycled Ripstop with Matte TPU Lamination: The body is made of 300-denier post-consumer recycled polyester with post-industrial recycled TPU lamination and a matte finish. This is the Black Hole fabric: resistant to scuffs, splashes, and abrasions, with a clean look that doesn't shine.
• Easy-Access Main Compartment: Wide zipper that opens the entire compartment for hassle-free packing and unpacking. Includes a padded sleeve for laptops up to 15" and an internal zippered mesh pocket for small items.
• Large Zippered Front Pocket: Organized space for essentials: cables, charger, wallet, keys. Everything at hand without opening the main compartment.
• Zippered Top Pocket: Quick access to smaller items you need to retrieve constantly.
• Two Elastic Side Pockets: Stretch fabric that adapts to different sizes of water bottles or guidebooks.
• Airmesh Back Panel with Padded Shoulder Straps: Ventilation and comfort for hours of wear without accumulating heat. Includes a sternum strap.
• Rear Pass-Through Handle: Allows the backpack to slide over the handle of a rolling suitcase, so you don't have to carry it while moving through the airport.
• Reinforced Top Handle and Front Daisy Chain: Quick-grab handle at the top and attachment points on the front for hanging extra gear.
• bluesign® Certified: The body fabric is approved under the bluesign® standard.
• Fair Trade Certified™: Manufactured in a factory where workers receive an additional premium for their labor.
