Plenty of space and simple organization make the Patagonia Black Hole Duffel Bag 40L a solid choice for those looking to use a duffle bag for travel.

Made with recycled materials, this carry-on-friendly duffle bag from Patagonia is described by the California-based brand as being “perfect for small loads and long weekends.” We've been putting the Patagonia Black Hole Duffel Bag 40L to the test for three weeks across Detroit, Michigan and San Francisco, California.

While we’ve been testing the 40L version, this duffle is also available in 55L, 70L, and 100L at the time of this review.

At the end of the day, the Patagonia Black Hole Duffel Bag 40L is a solid duffle. The ample space inside paired with simple yet functional organization, add that little bit of extra zip to a classic duffle. Plus, the recycled materials and focus on sustainability are features we always appreciate from the folks at Patagonia. The backpack straps offer some versatility when it comes to carry. Although they'll get the job done, we've found them to be mediocre during testing. But, if you can get past that, or are just looking for a duffle, this bag could be a solid choice for you.
