If you’ve been in an airport or train station at any point over the past five years or so, odds are pretty high that you have seen one of Patagonia’s hardy Black Hole duffel bags. Recognizable by the shine of its ripstop nylon, the Black Hole duffel has been lauded for its weather resistance and sturdiness as well as its subtle flair. The bags are versatile, coming in a handful of shapes and sizes that work for a weekend getaway, a month-long excursion, or even just one night visiting family. And right now, you can pick up the 70-liter sized bag in the color Smolder Blue/Buckwheat for 40 percent off at REI.
One of the best features of the bag is that it can be sported as a duffel slung over the shoulder or as a backpack, which is really convenient for hurrying through crowded airports. It also packs down and folds in on itself for easy storage when you know you’ll need extra luggage on the way back from a trip. It’s made with recycled materials, and the 70-liter size is large enough for a weekend trip or longer.
We think it’s one of the most durable duffel bags around, so if you’re in the market for a new bag but are waiting for a deal, now is the time to go for it.
