Patagonia’s Daily Commute and Day Trip Pack Is an Absolute Bargain Right Now

Patagonia’s spring sale is delivering some of the steepest discounts we’ve seen on the brand’s gear in a while, and one of the best deals right now is on the Black Hole Pack 25L — the smallest backpack in the famed Black Hole lineup and one of the more versatile packs the brand makes for daily pursuits and commutes.

It’s currently marked down 50 percent, which is the kind of discount that doesn’t come around often on Patagonia’s most popular carryalls.

Small but Mighty

At 25 liters, the Black Hole Pack isn’t designed to haul everything you own, and that’s kind of the point. Its compact footprint — 18.8 inches tall by 11 inches wide by 5.9 inches deep, weighing just 22.6 ounces — makes it a natural fit for daily commuters, day hikes, and weekend travel.

The pack is built around the same DNA as the rest of Patagonia’s Black Hole series: 100 percent recycled body fabric, lining, and webbing, with a recycled TPU-film laminate that’s weather-resistant and gives the bag its signature matte finish.

There’s a main compartment large enough for a 15-inch laptop, a front zip pocket for quick-access essentials, and a side water bottle sleeve.

It’s also worth noting that the 25L’s smaller size makes it a particularly popular choice among petite-framed users and women who find larger bags overpowering.

Many reviewers specifically call it out as a better fit than the 32L for those who don’t need maximum capacity. That said, if you do need a bit more room, the 32L version of the Black Hole Pack is also on sale right now in Current Blue for $101, down from its regular retail price of $169.

Pricing and availability

The Black Hole Pack 25L is currently on sale directly from Patagonia for $74, down from its regular retail price of $149 — a 50 percent discount.

Two colorways are on sale: Smolder Blue and Current Blue, with the latter being slightly more expensive.

For those interested in sizing up, the 32L is also currently marked down to $101 from $169 in Current Blue. Given how rarely Patagonia discounts its core bag lineup at this depth, either version is worth acting on sooner rather than later.
