Patagonia Black Hole® Mini MLC® 30L Carry-On Travel Bag

Big performance in a smaller carry-on package. The Patagonia Black Hole® Mini MLC® 30L is a streamlined take on the legendary 45L MLC®, built for travelers who want versatility, durability, and carry-on efficiency. This soft-sided travel bag is sized to meet stricter airline carry-on requirements while offering enough space to keep you organized on work trips, weekend travel, and everyday adventures.

Constructed with 100% recycled body fabric, lining, and webbing—plus a recycled TPU-film laminate—the Mini MLC delivers the weather resistance and toughness Black Hole® bags are known for. Convertible carry options let you switch between backpack, shoulder bag, and duffel or briefcase modes, with all straps tucking away cleanly when not in use.
