Active lifestyles, on-the-move schedules, and fast-paced workflows are all tough on our technology and equipment. Luckily, the Patagonia Black Hole 25 fills the void and accommodates it all. With light and sturdy polyester ripstop fabric and a highly waterproof and durable finish, this is a strong choice if you plan on working and cavorting in the elements and need to tote along a laptop as well.
I’ve enjoyed being able to toss books and electronics in the Black Hole and then trust that they’ll come out perfectly dry at the end of a ride or a day of use. Many backpacks that are this resistant to the elements are also remarkably ugly, utilitarian things — Patagonia managed to couple bombproof fabric with a pleasingly sleek aesthetic.
The Patagonia Black Hole Backpack is an ultra-durable, comfortable, and highly water-resistant pack that’s ideal for both day hikes and everyday use
Ultimately, this is a solid pack for anyone that’s primarily looking for an every-day bag that can also be used for the occasional hike or outdoor adventure.
If you need one pack to take you from school to work to play, at $129 (we found it for under $100 at some of the links below!) the Patagonia Black Hole 25L Backpack is a one stop shop that will carry of plenty of gear, be with you for the long haul and keep your gear protected and dry.
