There’s also some nice branding in here and this is the part of the pack that folds in on its self for easy storage. The Second Pocket is considerably smaller coming in at _ but has a key lashing hook incorporated into it. Alternatively I have been able to fit 16 oz can of beer or a small Kindle reader in this compartment but it was a tight fit. In my experience this is large enough to fit multiple small items like sunglasses, headphones and a passport or phone without much issue. The interior of the pocket is slick to allow for the most room as possible. The main compartment measures in at 4.5 in x 7 in x 2 in or (11.4 x 17.8 x 5.1 cm) for our metric friends. With that being said Patagonia was able to fit not one but two pockets in their tiny pack. Like most hip packs in this size category, the Black Hole is limited in what it can offer in regards to organization given its volume. Patagonia Black Hole Hip Pack – Organization I found that it was very common for the pack to gain some slack from my body when I was wearing it and this did become a bit annoying every now and then. I feel that if the closures on the buckle were a bit tighter this would not be a problem. Like mentioned before the buckle is plastic and works well, but unfortunately the straps seam to come loose very often In the buckle unless under constant pressure. A nice touch in my opinion and I love when companies include these with their products. The loose straps can be stowed cleanly with the elastic keepers that are included with the pack. I personally would have liked to have seen wider straps like 1.5 inches but I totally see why Patagonia went with one inch as to keep everything as light as possible. Working our way around, the straps are one inch wide and loop into a plastic buckle. The back of the pack has a light amount of padded mesh to improve both breathability and comfort while wearing the black hole. Nothing really good or bad to highlight here, they are zippers, they work. The zippers are of the YKK variety with small cords looped through for the zipper pulls. In the three months I have been testing the Black Hole Hip Pack, I have not noticed any frayed threads or rips in the nylon. This material is also somewhat water resistant so if you spill some water on the pack, you can rest easy that the interior contents will probably be dry. The entire pack is constructed out of a thin rip stop nylon that provides great protection while keeping everything light.
