Patagonia Black Hole Cube - Medium, Black

It works fine and it’s well-constructed. The capacity is massive. Great if you’re traveling abroad and need to bring extra medications, small first aid kit, etc. It could really benefit from subdividing one of the large compartments or just adding a couple of small zip pouches so that smaller and/or heavier items like nail clippers and tweezers are easier to secure and then locate. As much as I do like this thing it drives me mad how often I’m fishing through to find things or picking items up off the floor.

I purchased a 3L, 6L, and 10L Black Hole Cube for organizing my life when I am traveling as a guide. They are excellent except to carry everything from receipts to wallets to biking tools. They are well built and make packing smaller items into my larger bags a cinch. I have one small complaint. The zipper pulls all hang out on the exterior of the bags and on casual glance it is confusing which pull cord opens the outside zipper and which are for the inside zippers. The pull cords are all the same color. I think it would be a tiny but useful tweak to distinguish which is which by using different colors, say black for the outer zipper and red or yellow for the interior divider ones.

I purchased the large cube before buying this one and really liked it which prompted me to buy a slightly smaller one as a set. This case is still a bit big but is as good in quality as my large cube. I like the navy blue colour and it fits well with my black cube. The one thing that I wonder about is the breathability of the cube because it has a coating on the outside. Time will tell but at least there is mesh in the inside so if you want your clothes to breathe then you can open it up. Zippers are so great on the cubes because you can pull on the fabric and it opens smoothly. Highly recommended.
