Patagonia Black Hole® MLC™ 45L – Your One-Bag Ticket to Freedom

The Black Hole® MLC™ 45L by Patagonia isn’t just a backpack — it’s your all-access pass to streamlined, spontaneous travel. Cabin-approved, ultra-tough, and built for people who’d rather roam than roll, this weather-resistant carry-on travel bag handles city layovers, jungle detours, and everything in between — all while staying light on the planet.

Who is it for?

Jetsetters, remote workers, world wanderers, and conscious minimalists — if you live for long weekends in Lisbon, coworking in Medellín, or alpine escapes in Chamonix, the MLC 45L is your go-to one-bag travel companion. No wheels, no waste, no limits. Just clean lines, smart storage, and full freedom of movement.

Why the Black Hole MLC 45L Stands Out

✔️ Built to Brave It All: Rugged 100% recycled ripstop polyester with a TPU laminate — ready for tuk-tuks, tarmacs, and tropical rain.
✔️ Room for the Journey: 45L of efficient storage with inner organizers, quick-access zones, and stash spots for chargers, cords, and chaos control.
✔️ Airline-Ready, Tech-Savvy: TSA-friendly laptop sleeve fits 15" devices, opens flat for checks, and keeps gear secure and streamlined.
✔️ 3 Carry Modes, 1 Clean Look: Backpack, duffel, or crossbody — with stowable straps that disappear when you want that sleek, low-profile silhouette.
✔️ Convertible Hip Belt = Hero Move: Padded waist support when you need it, shoulder comfort when you don't. Your lower back will thank you.
✔️ Hidden Travel Tricks: Slide-over luggage sleeve, external lash points for jackets or cubes — because real travel isn’t always tidy.

FAQ

Is the Patagonia MLC 45L accepted as a carry-on?

Yes, it's designed to meet most international airline carry-on size limits and fits easily in overhead bins.

Does it fit under an airplane seat?

Usually not — it’s a full 45L pack. If underseat space is a must, consider the Mini MLC 30L instead.

Is it good for one-bag travel?

Definitely. It’s purpose-built for minimalist travelers who prefer to carry everything in one smart, organized bag.

Does it have a laptop compartment?

Yes — padded, TSA-compliant, and fits most 15" laptops. It opens flat for seamless airport security checks.

Is it waterproof?

Not fully waterproof, but highly water-resistant. It handles light rain and splashes with ease thanks to its TPU-coated fabric.

Can I attach it to rolling luggage?

Yes — it has a rear sleeve that slides over roller bag handles for smooth transitions through airports and train stations.

How sustainable is it?

It’s made from 100% recycled materials and crafted in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory using bluesign® approved fabrics. Patagonia builds gear that lasts — for you and the planet.
