Patagonia · Black Hole Pack 32L
Black Hole Pack 32L: the Patagonia backpack for work and travel, the laptop just a zip away.
The Black Hole Pack 32L is a 32-litre Patagonia backpack for organising the daily commute, tough enough to go further afield. Monday to Thursday, the 15-inch laptop comes out through a side zip, at the train table as at the office; on Friday evening, two days of clothes take the place of lunch and it slips over the suitcase. Two large zipped pockets, on the front and on top, keep the rest within reach.
Office · Train · Trip
The week's commute, then the wheeled suitcase when you head off.

Laptop
You grab the laptop from the side, without opening everything.
The padded compartment sits against your back and opens with a side zip: you take the laptop out without rummaging through the main compartment.
15-inch
Takes most laptops with a 15-inch screen.





Colours
Four colours, from black to off-white.
Black
Matt black, discreet grey logo: the office pack that goes unnoticed.
Smolder Blue
A very dark slate blue, almost black: it goes with a city coat.
Cinnamon Brown
A golden caramel with an orange logo: the colour you can see from far down a platform.
Birch White
An off-white with blue shoulder straps and a green logo: the brightest of the four.
The details
What comes in handy between home, the office and the station.

In the rain
A shower on the platform: the laminated fabric holds.
Light rain
Water-repellent fabric
PU coating and a durable water repellent (DWR) finish: water beads up, then eventually gets through at the seams and zips.
Shower
Laminated fabric
Fabric covered with a TPU film (a flexible plastic) that stands up to the weather. The seams aren't taped.

Proper rain
Rain cover
A removable cover goes over the whole bag. Without it, the coated fabric eventually lets water through.
The seams aren't taped: in a thunderstorm, slip the laptop into a sleeve.

Eiken's take
- Why we chose it
- Enough room for a loaded day or a weekend away, and a laptop you take out from the side without emptying the pack.
- Worth knowing
- No hip belt: loaded to its full 32 litres for a weekend, everything sits on your shoulders. It's made for the commute, not for hiking.
- Who it's for
- Anyone who carries a laptop every day and heads off on Friday evening by train or plane for two nights, without changing bags.
