Our verdict
Reasons to buy
- Materials used in this bag are recycled, durable, and water-resistant.
- Functional organization throughout the entire bag especially the two external pockets for handy things.
- Truly versatile as this can work as your gym bag, outdoor bag, or daypack.
- Quite comfortable to carry.
- Available in 32L should you need more space for your trip.
Things to consider
- Subpar laptop compartment.
- The side pockets for the water bottle aren't secured to use.
- Its aesthetics are not for all as it's shiny and crumply (when not fully packed.)
What reviewers said
- "I have used Patagonia gear for decades. The backpack is used every day when walking, running, or biking to a shopping destination. Looks great. Highly functional. My blue one has lasted 10 years, and but for a bad zipper situation, remains highly functional. Only bought the new one because I loved the color!"
- "Never written a reward before, but this bag has gone through rain, sleet, and snow in Chicago, hiking across the west, and just went through a tropical storm in NYC with this bag. The bag is stylish, understated, and the perfect size for everyday use from the city to the mountains...I cannot stress enough that this is the perfect bag, I plan on having it my whole life, and Patagonia's lifetime warranty makes this a certainty even in the unlucky event that the bag gets messed up."
- "I find the tall/narrow design of this pack exceedingly comfortable and practical. Even with water bottles on both sides, the bag does not extend past my personal width and makes moving through doorways, etc. very easy. Compartmentalization is simple yet functional. Straps are comfortable and spaced far apart so that it avoids pinching at the back of the neck/shoulders."

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.
