Why We Like The Patagonia Black Hole 5L Waist Pack
Patagonia's Black Hole 5L Waist Pack boasts the same ultra-tough and weather-resistant materials that the legendary Black Hole duffels are crafted from—now made with 100% post-consumer recycled ripstop. This waist pack features ample storage space for everyday adventures, whether on the trail, bike, or road. We love the stretchy side pockets that keep water bottles accessible and the new lash points that stash our essentials within reach.

Water bottle launcher
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Essentially a hip version of the Black Hole cubes. Holds its structure well and has plenty of volume. However, as one reviewer stated, it will not do well with any sort of weight. A light, wind shirt, keys and a phone; and you’re done. Add water and it starts to move away from your hip. Which brings me to the second fault, the water bottle holders. The holders are only suitable for bottles 12oz and below. And I emphasize below. The holder mesh fabric is slippery, and the holder lacks an elastic keeper. The holders do have an ineffective compression strap. If you run with this hip pack, you’ll find your water bottles popping out. I use a 16oz Sigg (fairly small bottle), and I had to add an elastic to keep the bottle from sliding out of the hip pack. The similar Black Diamond Pursuit hip pack has the same type of water bottle holders but has the advantage of elastic keepers. The Patagonia design is simply not well executed in terms of weight capacity and water bottle holders. This may well be a bargain bin item sooner than later.

I purchased the 1L version initially and realized that it wasn't big enough to handle my needs so I gave it to my Stepfather... He has been pleased with his I ordered the 4L version for me and I have been throughly pleased with mine... I can carry my 2 Glass's case's along with my keys and other things... Overall this pack is a great pack... I can use this pack for walking on our walking trails in our neighborhood for exercise... It holds everything I need for these walks including a drink...

Sags when loaded up.
This pack sags when loaded up with gear but overall, it's still very good. Great design.
