What we like: Versatility, thoughtful design (with lots of mesh pockets and cubbies), carrying comfort, and ample capacity make this the go-to bag wherever you’re going.

What we don't like: It might not fit under the seat if you fill it to capacity.

Patagonia is known for its durable material, and this is certainly the case with the Black Hole MLC. The fabric comes from their extremely durable line of expedition duffel bags &mdash; with which we are intimately familiar and infinitely impressed. Not only is this bag durable, but it is well organized and has enough features to be useful for a variety of travel adventures. The characteristic we are most impressed with is its packability. The soft body and clamshell style allows for ultimate stuffing potential, and the mesh dividers provide full visibility into each compartment when the bag is open. 
If we have to get nit-picky, we would note that the shoulder straps are not the most comfortable for a hefty load or long-distance travel. Due to its lack of structure, the bag also tends to feel lumpy if not loaded intentionally. We found that this was a non-issue as long as you put your softer clothing closer to the back panel to avoid anything protruding while using it as a backpack. Otherwise, there is little to complain about regarding the MLC and its excellent construction.

 Patagonia'S website says it's the same: iconic design as our classic mlc bag. It'S smaller and made with 100 post consumer recycled black hole material. It'S a soft sided suitcase that converts to a backpack and it meets strict carry-on requirements. So, what's it like to use in short, excellent, let's start with the good first is capacity

 While the packing cubes do work, they add unnecessary bulk and create some dead space between the cubes if they don't fit perfectly into the bag. The mini mlc's built-in mesh packing cubes, eliminate that problem and allow the capacity to carry more than you think sure there are benefits to packing cubes like being able to remove and wash them, but i personally prefer the mesh dividers in the mini mlc. If i had to pick one, the fully open laptop compartment is a great feature: that's slowly appearing on more and more bags on the market, it's advertised as a tsa friendly feature being able to open it fully for security, and that's true, however, that wasn't the biggest Benefit i found for me. The main advantage of this sleeve was how much easier it made packing the laptop when bags get full the main capacity bulges into the laptop pocket, making it difficult to insert the laptop from the top

 This bag is full of them. You can detach the shoulder, strap and hide. The clips can stow the backpack, strap and hide those clips as well [, Music ]. You can use the luggage pass-through as a pocket if needed

The main advantage of this sleeve was how much easier it made packing the laptop when bags get full the main capacity bulges into the laptop pocket, making it difficult to insert the laptop from the top. The computer gets caught on the bulge and doesn't fit right. I found that the mini mlc solves that problem by first securing the laptop with the sleeve open

Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC 26L Review - 7 Likes & Dislikes

Old ass back finally caved and bought the Patagonia Black Hole 40L Wheel Duffel (first time trying wheeled). It’s my 3rd black hole pack from Patagonia. Still getting used to the weight and size of this, but being the SMALLEST of the wheel duffel series, It’s Still a CARRYON.

Durability: so far with approximately 50 nights on the road it has held up well no significant failures of zippers or tears in the fabric.

Size: This is an excellent personal item as it easily fits under every airline seat that I have found so far without removing that precious foot room.

Excellent Personal Item with some exceptions.

 The bigger version of the bag is 40 liters. Mlc stands for maximum legal carry-on and that one's closer to the carry-on limits this is actually going to fit within the personal item requirements for a lot of airlines. Even regional planes, so if you're taking a short trip - and you only need a small bag, this is the perfect bag to bring you get your laptop in there. You get your clothes any other gear that you need and you don't have to pay extra for carry-on or to check a bag

 So i really liked that feature getting into the final compartment. The final compartment is basically a padded laptop sleeve fits most 15-inch laptops, but the benefit of it is that it opens all the way up. So the laptop goes here and you can even clip it into place, but when you are going through airport security, if you open the bag like this, you can just put it on the conveyor like this and send it through security. Like that, you don't have to take the laptop out and put it in a tray and then put the bag on and put the tray on

 Let'S talk about the different ways to carry the bag. There'S three different ways to carry the bag. My preferred method is using the padded backpack straps, there's daisy chain on the backpack straps. There'S also anchor points on here and then, when you're, not in use, you can put them away in this zippered compartment up top here and you can tuck

 You have all two other mesh pockets here with zippers. Just gives you the opportunity to kind of keep things a little bit more organized rather than kind of sifting through a big duffel bag, and i always found that beneficial and again, like i mentioned you, don't typically see that on bags of this size. So i really liked that feature getting into the final compartment. The final compartment is basically a padded laptop sleeve fits most 15-inch laptops, but the benefit of it is that it opens all the way up

Patagonia Mini MLC review

I haven’t travelled with this bag yet, since I don’t have another trip until February, but I did test it’s packing limits and it holds a LOT of stuff. I was able to fit 5 days of clothes without folding any fancy ways or using a packing cube and I still got my toiletry bag, chargers, electronic toothbrush, an extra pair of shoes and a book in there with even more room to spare! I was worried about looking like a turtle with this bag since I’m only 5’1 but I don’t so that’s a win and this bag will most likely be my favorite for life! I’m one of those people that refuses to ever have checked baggage because of my fear of it getting lost, I’m much more comfortable knowing my belongings are with me the whole time and this bag is perfect for that!

Patagonia never disappoints!

I traveled across the country to see family this past weekend (4 nights 5 days). This was my first time using the Patagonia mini MLC - I won't ever take this on an airplane again. I love the bag and how it organized all of my gear but it was horribly uncomfortable, and I only had it on while walking through the airports, can't imagine being lost and looking for a hostel with this bag on. I'm thinking it would be much more comfortable with a hip belt

Quick, cross-country trip. Details in comments.

One major difference with a real black hole

 I actually flew with mine as my personal item. Having the options for how to carry it, handles, sling, and backpack straps also comes in clutch.

I used it mostly for going between my boyfriends and my houses, it always fit exactly what I needed. Its carry on size so I have travelled with it, I love the laptop pocket, which is padded to protect your device. The pockets for organizing can be a little small but they work. And I really like the mesh zipper that goes over your clothes so you can unzip it in half and stuff doesn't go flying everywhere
