Good bag

Very sturdy and stands up easily even when fully loaded. Unlike most luggage I have used over the years this bag looked like new even after a long trip to Africa and three airline transfers. Only complaint is I think they could have used zippers that were designed to be locked which is common even on cheap luggage today. You can weave a lock into the zipper but if the TSA decides to open your bag they will not bother to re-lock it since it is a bit cumbersome. With that said it is a great bag.

I must have Brushed the side on a wall carrying it down the steps on my way to the airport for it's first use. It was literally 20 minutes old. The wheel bent!!! Sadly I was able to bed the wheel right back with a few taps. What this tells me is it is of super poor construction and not nearly worh the money at all. I have never seen a $350 piece of luggage fail so quickly.

BLUF: Sturdy build; Good features; Get's filthy fast; Wheel snapped off after 5 flights making it a giant, non-rolling purse Bought this before moving to Europe. Knew I'd be traveling a lot and job generally requires large duffel/ suitcase for gear. Duffel's work better for the places I visit because they compress and can be slung easier than an large, armored suitcase. This duffel got decent reviews - especially the wheels (more on that later) - and Patagonia is a trusted brand in my book. Bag had great features and build was superb out of the box. Volume/ size is biggest I'd ever purchase. Survived inaugural Int'l flight unscathed, though the glossy dark finish gets very dirty after being handled by baggage teams. 2nd trip I noticed the small rip on the top flap seen in the 1st photo. Happened on a 2-leg flight, so tossed twice. I was bummed but not a deal breaker. Recently, maybe 4th time being checked on Euro flights, I pulled it off the conveyor to find a wheel missing. Mind you, a couple people commented that these were top-shelf luggage wheels. I had no choice but to drag it single-wheel to my parking spot. I will say that I drug it about a mile and it didn't completely chew through the reinforced plastic on the rear of the duffel. Verdict: If you are fashion conscience and easily embarrassed, don't buy this bag because it looks like it's been in a Mad Max movie by the time you pull it off the conveyor after a flight. It's a great feature-laden rolling duffel with immense volume, but needs both wheels to function. The rip can be chalked up to bad luck because the bag is made of a very durable rip-stop fabric, which is water resistant. Finally, a relative gave me a similar make, flea-market quality duffel about 12 years ago. It has zero rips in the fabric and both wheels still intact - it looked and felt cheap when it was new.

Great for urban cowboy

8 years ago

I have used a 90L non wheeled Patagonia Black Hole for years and it has withstood the test of time. Needed to upgrade to a wheeled duffel to ease my sore arms running to and through airports. It is well constructed and light with big wheels and I have also been in torrential rain and the contents remained dry. It appears as tough as the regular duffels and at 8 pounds it is not going to push the upper 50LB airline checkin limits. I use this for business as I can fold a garment bag in half and the clothes are not crushed. For the price it is a tough workhorse. A Tumi of this size is at least $800. One plus, even though it really doesn't look like a backpacker's bag, most luggage thieves see the "Patagonia" logo think it is full of smelly t shirts and sandals and not worth absconding with.

Best luggage I have ever used

6 years ago

I’ve had this bag for over a year and taken it on countless road trips and international flights. It’s much lighter than other options this size which allows for more packed weight. The zippers are solid, but the wheels seem a little less sturdy than the rest of the bag. My first bag was ran over in the rental car lot, which bent the frame badly. I called Patagonia to ask for a repair estimate but they instead insisted on replacing the bag FOR FREE. They even covered the shipping cost of returning the old one! Overall, this is another great and well-supported product from Patagonia. I’ve bought several more in other sizes.

Pack it all and then some!

Great roller duffle, it's huge and waterproof. Plus it's easy to spot coming down the line in baggage claim. Sturdy also. Would recommend to anyone who travels heavy just don't pack breakables as it is a soft-side duffle.

best bag out there, anywhere

I have owned these bags for over 20 years. I have about 13 of them stashed. If they break, Patagonia fixes or replaces their product free of charge. There is nothing that takes travel punishment like these. And yes, I have tried many others.

Great For College

7 years ago

I purchased this for my daughter to transport her belongings to and from college. Great capacity without being so large that it becomes too heavy. She has a MLC 45L that slipped over the handle with ease. She handled 165 liters with ease. We liked the set up so well we purchased a second one for my families next trip to Europe.

Great travel bag for long adventures

6 years ago

I bought this bag for a 12 day hiking and biking trip to Iceland (and future adventures) and it held up great! I am very satisfied with my purchase. The bag is really durable, the wheels rugged enough to roll on gravel and enough room for all of my items. The only thing I wish it had was maybe a few compartments to desperate things, true to its name it can definitely become a black hole for things

Wheel Axl bent

6 years ago

The wheel Axl bent on the first day of use (light use). High priced duffel. Very cheap construction for the moving parts. This is a junk product priced like a luxury or expedition class good.
