Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole Sling 8L Review (1 Month of Use)

[@chazlyle41]

I’ve had the “Lightweight Travel Courier” forever and have had it all over the world with me! I just bought a second hand one for my wife. Thank you for this overlook of the 8L sling. I’ve been interested and this is the only real review online. Thanks!

Nice review, I just bought this pack, supper stoked on it.

not showing what it looks like when carried was disappointing.. Is it made for right or left shoulder? Does the phone fall out when you swing the bag?

[@Lazalaza]

It’s meant for right shoulder use, but you can still carry it on your left shoulder, only then the 2 compartments will open downwards.
And yes, if you put your cell phone in the strap pocket, it will fall out of the mesh pocket on the strap when you swing the back forward. It would have been better if it were a zipper pocket or at least added a Velcro tab to it.

Blackhole vs atom patagonia the best?

[@Lazalaza]

The mesh bag on the strap doesn’t really work with something valuable like a cell phone, because when you sling the bag to the front, the strap pocket will be on your back, with its opening pointing downwards, and your cell phone dropping out of the pocket at your back!

Really didn't like the camera perspective of this review - uncomfortable to watch.
