Excerpt from the Patagonia Catalog Spring/Summer 1993 BLACK HOLE BAG According to one of Patagonia's field testers, "Without a doubt, this Black Hole Bag is the best bag I've ever used. It didn't receive any damage even after falling off the roof of a bus in Tibet." The Black Hole Bag boasts enough storage capacity to swallow a loaded framed backpack, climbing ropes, sleeping bags, boots, and foam pads all at once. You don't have to worry about dragging it through the vast Moscow train station after packing it full (because the material uses new tarpaulin, it won't self-destruct). This Black Hole Bag comes with a Human Curve shoulder strap that can be attached to metal swivel snap hooks. It can be closed with a #10 coil zipper with a lockable nickel-plated slider and is protected by a large flap. When the bag is overloaded and heavy, there are handles on both ends so two people can carry it. The interior has a light gray finish, making it easy to find small items. A zippered mesh pocket on the end is perfect for small items. Two sets of metal rings on the outside can be used to attach most items that can be secured with a rod case or strap. Made in the USA.
