If you've been following me for a while, you'll be used to seeing this bag appear on my trips over the years!
Sadly, it's gone up in price of recent (I got mine for around £90) and they no longer do my 45L bag, but instead you can bag yourself a 40L bag for £140.
It absolutely does not fit in any of the small cabin bag baggage sizers (it's 53.3 x 34.8 x 26.9 cm) but as it's a backpack, I find airlines don't question it when it's being worn in the queue. I've haven't been charged in over 7 years. However, if you don't love the idea of risking it, it will fit into most large cabin bag baggage sizers instead.
I love this bag because not only does it fit LOADS, it's comfortable, it's waterproof and most importantly (for me) - it's a fun design!
It also has all of these features:
In addition , Patagonia offer an 'Ironclad Guarantee' which states 'if your item isn't working for you, send it in for a return or repair, hassle free, anytime'. Though note that wear and tear damage repairing may come at a charge.
This bag sells out all the time so if you find one in stock, I wouldn't hang about. Sometimes it takes months for anyone to restock them and honestly, they've become a bit of a mythical beast at this point! If you want to search for yourself, google 'Patagonia 40L Black Hole Bag'.
