  • My first product review! I'm by no means an expert, just my own personal opinions. Disclaimer***In the video I mention that the 60L could be used as a carryon for air travel but your experience may vary depending on how full the bag is packed and the specific airline's carryon restrictions. The duffel's specs are slightly over the requirements of most airlines but the flexibility of the bag should allow it to fit in most overhead bins***. Overall love the bag! Update: I recently purchase a second Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 60L! I've added the unboxing and a strap install video on my channel. Be sure to check it out. Thanks for watching!

      hey so the bag came in a while back but i never had the chance to use it until last week. it was amazing. I have zero complaints. I mostly carried it, but I used it as a back back when standing in lines at the airport. It wasn't too big to carry it on the plane with me and it was just right to fill all my stuff for a 5 day trip. To fold the bag back into the small form you have to close the outter zipper and open the inner zipper turn the whole thing upside down and start folding inward. Took me all of 2 minutes. it's currently tucked in my closet until my next trip. such a sweet bag worth every penny

    Great reviews mate !
    Would you recommend the 60L as a sport bag ? I feel the only issue with those type of bags is the lack of structure when not fully packed.
    Thanks

    • @ChrisU
      @ChrisU  Před 5 lety +1

      Thanks Fiftoufi! I think the 60L is a great general purpose or "do all" bag. I would usually pick The North Face Base Camp duffel Small as my "do all" bag, but if you need additional space the Patagonia 60L is just as capable. It can fit many different needs in my opinion and great to throw a lot of "stuff" in. You are right though, the bag lacks structure when not full but it does carry the weight well. Hope this helps. Take care!

  • @mouditaandrea9475
    @mouditaandrea9475 Před 6 lety +1

    sweet, thank you for reviewing. i can't decide between patagonia and the north face duffle, even though i watched all three of your videos. which one is more comfortable carrying longer distances? thank you :)

    • @ChrisU
      @ChrisU  Před 6 lety +1

      Hi Pacinka! Great question! If I had to pick, my personal preference as far as comfort goes would be the North Face duffels. With that being said, the Patagonia bags are not uncomfortable by any means. You could carry either for long distances with no issue besides how heavy the bag is packed. Both are great quality duffels. To me it usually comes down to how much do I need to fit in the bag and how do I intend to use the bag. I feel the North Face Base Camp S is probably the best "do all" bag coming in around 50L but the Patagonia 60L gives you a bit more flexibility outside of air travel. You really can't go wrong with either though. Hope this helps and doesn't complicate things more for you. Thanks for your question! Take care!

    @aykutozger1164 Před 6 lety +1

    Thank you for a great video. Thinking about getting a 60L one for international travel and don’t want to check it in. Did you have trouble taking it on the plane as carry on?

    • @ChrisU
      @ChrisU  Před 6 lety

      Hi Aykut! I had originally purchased the bag in hopes of using it on an international trip but, so far, have only used on a US domestic flight as a carry-on and didn't have any issues. The bag has lots of room, but to me the key is to not over pack the bag. I always do a quick measurement check to ensure it fits the specific airline/s carry-on requirements. I think it's a great "do all" bag and I recommend taking a look. Thanks and safe travels!

    • @aykutozger1164
      @aykutozger1164 Před 6 lety +1

      Thank you Chris. If it worked as a carry on in the domestic flights, it should be okay then for transatlantic flights as the overhead space tends to be bigger. Will be ordering soon. :)

    Hi Chris, thank you for the video. I am still doubting If I should buy the 70L or the 60L capacity. I want them for my 15 year old children for schools trips that lasts 5 -7 days. Shoould I stick to the 60L since can be used as a carry -on? Maybe 70L would be too heavy for them to carry?

    • @ChrisU
      @ChrisU  Před 4 lety

      Hey Gabriela! I would personally recommend a 60L bag. It should be plenty of room for most, and I feel it would be a more versatile option. Like you mention, the fact you could use it as a carry-on is also a plus. The only downfall now is that Patagonia no longer makes the 60L Black Hole duffel. Overall, I feel that a 50L-60L duffel would be a great all around travel bag with plenty of space. Take care!

      Hi Kameron Brown! Great question! I would be hesitant to use the 90L for a carry on, as the listed dimensions are 29x15.5x11. The 60L would be the largest Black Hole duffel I would use for carry on, and even then I would be careful not to overfill. Take care!

    • @ChrisU
      @ChrisU  Před 5 lety

      Hi amart! The short answer is yes but... The bag dimensions when full would be too large but, since it's a soft sided bag, I recommend to not over pack the bag. By leaving space, it should give you the flexibility to fit within the airlines carry-on requirements. To be on the safe side though, it's always a good idea to pull out a tape measure to double check the size after you've packed the bag. If you have any concerns using this bag, I suggest looking at The North Face Base Camp Duffel Small and/or the Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 45 liter. Take care!

    • @ChrisU
      @ChrisU  Před 5 lety +1

      Hey _alimgdzl! Great but tough question. 60L is a lot of space when compared with most carry-on bags, which typically are between 38L-45L. If you're a "light" packer it may be possible but, if you're flying, you may have to check the bag depending on how "full" the bag appears. Although not a heavy bag, weight may become a factor as well when flying and/or carrying on your back. I believe it comes down to how much you need to pack for 10 days. Sorry I can't more directly answer your question : ) Overall a great bag. Take care!
