Black Hole Mini MLC

This is my first time posting here, and I hope I’m following all the rules correctly. This post is a personal comparison of the Six Moon Designs ADC+, Patagonia Mini MLC, and Patagonia Black Hole Pack 32L for one-bag travel. I normally travel for about a month at a time and pack around 22 lb includi

I tend to buy brands I know and trust. My hiking pack is an Osprey and I love it and it wears like iron. So it was a no brainer to go with them for my smaller travel bag (26+6.)

That said, I always carry a lightweight ArcTeryx fleece for the plane anyway. Paired with the MHGW, I am comfortable below freezing. For some colder climate t

i do. i have “Patagonia Black Hole® Mini MLC® Pack 30L” and love it for travel —i can fit so much in it, i shock myself every time 😂

I wouldn't focus on sticking with one brand - that doesn't reaally make sense if say the Osprey pack fits you best but you don't love their sling. I'd also think about what you will carry in hipsack vs. daybag and make sure you aren't getting double duty there. If the packable day bag is really just

Patagonia MLC Mini. So many ways to carry items and great access to laptops/electronics.
