HAVEN'T RATED
Deserted mountains, crowded city streets, boats, planes, trains…it’s just another day with new adventures for the Black Hole 60L. This versatile duffel is at home in urban and outdoor environments alike. Highly water-resistant, the duffel also features an abrasion-resistant and padded base for even greater protection of the contents, so you don’t need to worry about overzealous baggage handlers or downpours. There’s also plenty of carry options, with top and end grab handles and backpack straps for carry comfort over greater distances and with heavier loads. One exterior and two interior zipped pockets take care of organizing smaller bits and pieces, while four sets of daisy chains means you won’t struggle to attach extra gear either.
