Axles weak
I have had this wheeled duffle for over 18 months. After the first cross country flight the first one had to be replaced when the axles bent as noted in another review. The axles are a soft metal, subject to bending. They also were not properly tightened when assembled at the factory. On the replacement duffel I replaced the axles with grade 5 bolts for both wheels using nylon self locking nuts. After 10 flights and several car trips I have had no issues. The bag rolls easy and is super roomy for packing.
Around the world a few times
This is my second Patagonia duffel bag. Love this bag except way to easy to overweight it, LOL. I had the original one for 3 years and around the world a few times until airlines found a way to destroy it by digging it across the tarmac. This version has slightly update a few parts of the bag but it should last as long as the airlines find a new way to destroy.
My go to checked travel bag
I do my best to write honest reviews, which can at times be hard when it's one of your favorite gear and apparel companies and the gear misses the mark for you. I have been using the Black Hole 100L wheeled bag for I think three years now. I think I can give a considered review at this time. I have only used this bag for domestic air travel with Delta and American and will limit my comments to domestic travel. I am an adventurous traveler from start to finish. I have put this bag through it's paces and have been very pleased with it's performance. I fly out of Minneapolis St. Paul International (MSP) via the Fridley Station Light Rail park and ride. I park free for 7 nights here(sometimes 9). Every time, I park my car and wheel the bag over 100 yards of concrete lot, curbs and a bit of cobblestone across the street over another curb and across some grass to the 52A bus stop. I drag the bag onto the bus and ride the one stop to the Minneapolis metro rail blue line. I drag the bag off the bus across the concrete sidewalk and cobblestones of the rail station. Wheel it onto the train, wheel it off the train across the platform and up two escalators and thru the airport. Baggage handlers then throw it around like 800lb gorillas and I pick it up in baggage claim. The adventure does not end here if I don't rent my car at the airport. Lets say I'm flying into Seattle where the rental car prices are jacked up so the city can pay for new stadiums and such. In this case I wheel the bag from baggage claim thru the airport and across the flyway bridge and onto Seattle light rail. Up to North Seattle and wheel it off the train, across the platform and up two escalators and out onto the street. Two more blocks of concrete and curbs to the Alamo location. On one trip i arrived at the rail station park and ride just as the heavens opened up. The100yrd. walk to the bus stop was like walking under a waterfall with inch deep puddles in the lot. My Lowe Pro canvas camera bag was soaked thru. Good thing my camera and electronics were in a two gallon zip locs. The Black Hole bag had some wetness inside, but actually held up well in the 20min. deluge it took. Way better than the canvas Lowe Pro bag. I have done this with the Black Hole 100L many times all around the country. The wheels have been rock steady, no discernable damage other than scratches. I have been waiting for the wheels to fail...they have not. The bag it's self has no tares or rips, only some pretty light scratches on the rear plastic rails. The telescoping handle still solid. The YKK zippers and track...good to go. Never a problem with bag size and the airlines. My experience with the 100L wheeled bag has been so good that I purchased the 55L duffel(non-wheeled) and the 70L(non-wheeled) along with the MLC Black Hole. That's it...I say buy it, you won't be disappointed.
Cheep Exposed Wheels
Wheel bent 30degrees after mild use on first trip. Would never buy this again.
