Black Hole Micro MLC

$155.00

Patagonia

The Patagonia Black Hole Micro MLC is a travel-savvy backpack designed for quick trips. It's made with recycled materials that brush off light weather and scuffs. This soft-sided convertible backpack can be carried three ways and meets the tighter under-seat carry-on requirements of most airline carriers. The roomy main compartment is large enough for a few days' worth of gear, including a pair of shoes, and has a mesh divider to keep things organized. There's also dedicated space for tech storage that fits most 15-inch laptops. Made in a Fair Trade Certified factory, this backpack is perfect for the strictest travel requirements.
