Patagonia was founded in 1973 by Yvon Chouinard with a mission: build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire solutions to the environmental crisis. This philosophy extends to their Ironclad Guarantee: "We guarantee everything we make."
The Black Hole Pack represents Patagonia's commitment to durability and repairability. Made from recycled materials and designed to withstand the toughest conditions, it's backed by a repair program that keeps gear in use for decades rather than in landfills.
Patagonia's Worn Wear program encourages repair over replacement, and they'll fix any Patagonia product for free or a reasonable fee. This commitment to longevity makes their products true BIFL items.
The Black Hole Pack has been tested in extreme conditions: mountain expeditions, urban commutes, travel adventures. Its weather-resistant construction and durable materials have proven themselves time and again.
Join thousands of smart shoppers getting early access to new lifetime products. Be first to discover the next product that lasts forever.
The Black Hole Pack uses TPU-laminated recycled polyester that's both durable and environmentally responsible. This material provides excellent water resistance and abrasion resistance while being made from recycled materials.
All stress points are reinforced with bar-tacking and double-stitching. Zippers are high-quality YKK, and hardware is corrosion-resistant. Every detail is designed for longevity.
Patagonia's Ironclad Guarantee: "We guarantee everything we make." They'll repair any damage for free or a reasonable fee, keeping your pack in service for decades.
Patagonia operates repair facilities and partners with repair shops worldwide. Any component can be repaired: zippers, straps, fabric, hardware. The Worn Wear program actively encourages repair over replacement.
Clean with mild soap and water, air dry. The weather-resistant coating maintains effectiveness with minimal care.
At $100-200, the Black Hole Pack costs more than cheap backpacks ($20-50), but with Patagonia's repair guarantee, it can last 10+ years, making it more economical and environmentally responsible than replacing cheap packs every 1-2 years.
