Our Verdict

The Patagonia Black Hole Pack 25L is an outstanding choice for hikers and daily commuters. Offering ample storage and durability in a sleek package, this daypack weighs 640 grams and strikes an excellent balance between sturdiness and portability. Its construction from 100% recycled materials, including polyester ripstop and a TPU-film laminate, underscores Patagonia’s commitment to sustainability without sacrificing performance.

The 25-litre capacity is perfect for carrying your daily essentials. The main compartment features a padded sleeve that fits most 15″ laptops, while an internal zippered pocket keeps smaller items organised. The large front stash pocket is handy for quick access to items you need on the go. The stretch-woven side pockets are versatile enough to accommodate various water bottle sizes, which is a thoughtful touch for hydration on the move.

One significant improvement in this iteration of the Black Hole Pack is its more subdued appearance, which thankfully avoids the overly shiny finish of its predecessor. This makes it more appealing for both outdoor adventures and urban use.

The air mesh back panel enhances comfort and ventilation. The back panel handle doubles as a pass-through for stacking on rolling luggage, adding convenience for travel. Including a front daisy chain and a reinforced top handle further enhances its utility.
