Why did they even make this??
No, I do not recommend this product
Honestly, I’m not sure what they were trying to accomplish with this bag versus the other medium size MLC?. If you plan on using this is a messenger it’s completely uncomfortable because it just Has a long nylon strap that you can’t actually shorten all that much so it dangles long off your shoulder. Obviously, it’s built very well. It’s just a really poor design, Front pouch is just kind of a black hole to get stuff out of, No dedicated laptop compartment just an odd sleeve. It feels like half of the bag is dedicated to storing the pretty thick backpack straps. I really want to love this, but It is essentially only a backpack With poor organization.. And the Patagonia BACKPACKS already exist. The MLC model up is 10x better.

Opens like a book for easy access to everything!
Yes , I recommend this product
Brilliant design! Opens likes a book so you have easy full access to all your items. I no longer have to dig deep in the bottom of my backpack while in my seat on the plane. Everything is at my fingertips. Perfect carry on that can be used for day trips at each destination. I use REI Roadtripper Pods to help keep my pack organized.

It's A Personal Size Travel Backpack - Not an EDC
Yes , I recommend this product
The Patagonia Black Hole Micro MLC Pack is an ideal-sized travel backpack that complies with the personal item size restrictions for most airlines. It carries a fair amount of stuff at 22L and will fit under most air line seats. For this purpose, it is a great choice. You can carry a lot on board an airplane with a carry-on backpack or roller suitcase and the Micro MLC Pack. On the other hand, it's not really designed to be an EDC pack. Its clam shell opening and lack of external water bottle pockets make it a less than ideal candidate for an EDC pack.

Perfect Size
Yes , I recommend this product
I purchased this to complement my Black Hole wheeled 40. It is surprisingly spacious for all sorts of stuff that might be needed quickly while traveling. Additionally my covered Tablet (S10 ultra) fits perfectly. Week to 10 day trips with two eliminate the need for checked baggage. Great purchase, highly recommend.

Exceptional use of Space.
Yes , I recommend this product
Unbelievable amount of storage in seemingly small package. I needed a travel approved backpack that could replace a minimalist design that was small enough to do dual duty - the Patagonia product has done that and so much more in a very sturdy simplistic design. Nice job.

Black Hole micro
Yes , I recommend this product
Perfect size for work trip. Very well made quality material and strong zippers. Love the way the straps tuck away without needing to detach and store.
