Black Hole Mini MLC

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

I’m currently on my first trip with the Patagonia MLC, and I’m really enjoying using it! I’m traveling with my two kids (9 & 7), so we aren’t one bagging it (it’s my .5 in a 1.5 system that would be carry-on only in the US, but we’re checking the rollers since we’re over the 7 kg SE Asia carry-on li
