Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Daypack:

I use this bag everyday to transport my laptop, power supply and a horde of papers to and from work everyday. The bag is extremely comfortable, and contrary to the other review, I find the bag to be quite easy to load and very accessible. If there were side pockets the bag would be perfect.

Comments about Patagonia Black Hole Daypack:

I just received this bag on 3/1/2013 and I have decided to return it immediately, the bag is not natural, it does not flow with any type of daily, biking or recreational experience.

Pro: appearance, the bag looks nice.

Con: organization, the bag does not have any organizational harmony, there is only one quick grab compartment situated on the top of the bag and strangely enough, this small zippered compartment at the top is not sealed from water leaks, so in the unfortunate event of you getting caught in a down pour, the main compartment may get wet.

Functionality, the bag does not offer any functional features, like side pockets or webbing for hiking or loops for trekking poles. The bag is not user friendly; you have to fight this bag, hold it down, and bend it backwards, just to pack it. The shoulder straps do not have any "D" rings or webs for external attachments. The bag is just a bag and is simply not functional; in fact, you almost need three hands in order to open the bag, hold it in place and pack it.

Structure and Form, the bag does not have proper form or structure. One of my main grips with this bag is THE BOTTOM OF THE BAG IS NOT FLAT, it has a forward slant, so when placed on the ground, it automatically falls forward every time, making it practically impossible to pack or rest on the ground without it falling forward, you will have to lend it against a wall or something stable, this is a major design flaw. Second, the handle on the bag is poorly positioned and weakly designed, when picking the bag up by the handle, the position of the handle causes the bag to lean forward, thus adding to the already annoying forward slant on the bottom of the bag.

Material, the material is durable, but it is 100% polyester, this makes for a very static-key experience. The material is water resistant which is a plus, but does not overcome the fact that the top of zippered compartment is not sealed to resist water.

Finally, I would not recommend this bag.
