Black Hole Mini MLC

I’ve used cheaper clamshell bags like these Matein-style ones for flights and city travel and I'm happy with them so far. They're lightweight and open flat, also easily fit carry-on limits. I’ve sworn off expensive ones like Farpoint ever since one of my expensive ones went missing at the airport a

I really like the Patagonia Mini MLC. While not expandable, I just pack light and leave space for souvenirs on the way back. It is relatively rigid, so it doesn't become oddly shaped with a light load.

When airlines had humanely sized seats, I used to be able to fit my 40-42L MEI Voyageur under the seat in front of me. I just took my new, 30L Patagonia Mlc mini black hole bag on its maiden voyage: personal item only 2 week trip on Volaris. I was concerned about whether it would fit. The consequenc

I have the Patagonia MLC Mini 30L and it is an awesome back BUT....if you are not traveling with a laptop you may want to pass. IMO one reason it shines is the separate laptop compartment that zips fully open - but that space is much less useable if you don't have tech.

I also have an original, first run, twenty something year old Patagonia MLC as my bigger one bag option (45.) it’s my ride

That’s a huge bag for under the seat. I also can’t believe you get away with that. I use an Osprey Daylite 26 + 6 pack and that’s just about the max for some airlines. I think the Black Hole Mini MLC is the closest Patagonia option.

Patagonia MLC Backpack. The bag's quality and versatility never ceases to impress me.

My main go-to setup is a Patagonia MLC mini and Tom Bihn co-pilot. Believe the co-pilot is 10L.The co-pilot is my personal item and around town bag with an HLT2 inside with the main edc essentials that can be taken out and used on its own like a purse if I feel like the co-pilot is too big for the d

Overall, I loved one bagging it. Not rolling a bag through European streets or carrying a ridiculously large duffle bag like I have in the past was such a nice change, especially because I spent a lot of time exploring the city after I checked out of each place I was staying, so everything had to co
