The Patagonia Black Hole MCL 45L Bag is one of our favorite travel bags. The MLC or maximum legal carry-on is a great size for a weekend or week long trip. It has designed tech storage and can be worn as a backpack, shoulder bag, or hand bag. The MLC 45 even slides down the handle of a rolling duffel for long airport walks.
The Patagonia Black Hole MLC convertible suitcase is made from 100% recycled body fabric, lining and webbing, plus and a 100% recycled TPU-film laminate. The MLC is not waterproof but it is super rugged and you can expect years of great service out of this superb bag. The MLC 45 has one large main compartment with two interior organization pockets and one drop-in top pocket for smaller items. The Black Hole MLC has a dedicated padded laptop pocket that fits most 15" models. It has enough room for additional documents and cords and zips open as it lies flat for easy TSA compliance. A padded, stowable hip belt doubles as the shoulder strap if desired. The MLC 45 has been in the Patagonia line up for years and each season minor tweaks are made to improve this fantastic bag. If you are looking for one of the most versatile and well thought out pieces of luggage on the planet the Black Hole MLC is the one for you.
