Patagonia | Backpack | Black Hole Pack 32L

Brief description

The Patagonia Black Hole Pack 32L is the workhorse of the Black Hole range: 32 liters of capacity in the line's largest daypack format. Recycled ripstop with matte TPU laminate, independent side-zip laptop compartment, two front organization pockets, and airmesh back panel. It's the backpack that stands up to daily wear and tear and travel without flinching — from your commute to work to a long weekend with everything you need inside.

Main features

• Recycled ripstop with matte TPU laminate: The body is 300-denier post-consumer recycled polyester with a post-industrial recycled TPU laminate and a matte finish. The same Black Hole fabric as always: resistant to scuffs, splashes, and abrasions, with a clean, discreet look.
• Large main compartment with easy access: A generous zipper opens a large space that fits a full day's gear. Includes an internal zippered mesh pocket for small items.
• Side-zip laptop compartment: Dedicated padded space for laptops up to 15", accessible from the side of the backpack independently, without needing to open the main compartment.
• Large front zippered pocket: Organization space for daily essentials — cables, charger, wallet, travel documents.
• Top zippered pocket: Quick access to smaller items you need close at hand at any time.
• Two elastic side pockets: Stretch fabric that adapts to different sizes and shapes of water bottles.
• Airmesh back panel with padded shoulder straps: Ventilation and comfort for long days with the backpack on. Includes an adjustable sternum strap.
• Rear pass-through handle: Allows you to slide the backpack over the handle of a rolling suitcase to move through airports without carrying it.
• Reinforced top handle and front daisy chains: Quick-grab handle and attachment points on the front for hanging gear, a board, or a mat.
• bluesign® certification: The body fabric is bluesign® approved.
• Fair Trade Certified™: Made in a factory where workers receive an additional premium for their labor.

Why choose this backpack?

• More space, same durability: If the 25 liters of the Black Hole Pack aren't enough, the 32 liters of this version give you that extra margin you need for a change of clothes, food, or additional gear without changing ranges or sacrificing strength.
• The laptop goes in its own compartment: The independent side zipper is a hit. You can pull out your laptop at a security check or in a meeting without having to open the entire backpack or rummage through what's inside.
• Hassle-free organization: Main compartment, front pocket, top pocket, side pockets, and internal mesh pocket. Everything has its place without the backpack becoming a labyrinth of zippers.
• From the office to the airport to the trail: The pass-through handle for suitcases, the daisy chains for attaching gear, and the breathable back panel make it work equally well in urban environments or on a hike in the Tramuntana mountains.
• Contained weight for its capacity: 760g for a 32-liter backpack with TPU laminate, padded laptop compartment, and airmesh panel. It's still a light backpack for how tough it is.
