I've had this bag for two years. I end up having to watch this video every time I put it away. I was at REI and a couple was looking at this bag, and the husband said, "it looks like a pain in the ... to put away." I told him some awesome gal on UA-cam made a video. He watched the video and bought the bag! You should ask Patagonia for royalties! Thank you for your time.
Thank you so much for this very nice comment, Bob. Awesome to hear that the video helped you and someone else. Thank you so much for sharing. So excited to know that it helps!
Finally! I tried the method used in a different video but could not get it to fit. I almost gave up until I saw your video. Took me less than a few minutes to pack it with this method. Thanks!
Until I watched this video, I thought the storage bag was some cruel joke from the manufacturer. Now I can easily put the bag into the pouch just like when I bought it! Thank you so much.
Tysm for this video. When I unpacked this bag, I was like, No way am I ever gonna fit it into the pouch again. But you helped me out! Note: mine's a 70L bag, and your instructions worked perfectly!
I've had two of these things for over 4 years and couldn't ever figure out how to fold the darn thing into itself. I decided to search for a video tutorial and found your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It is easier than it looks.
Mahalo (Thank you in Hawaiian)! I had a similar duffel and could only force it into the pocket, with a resultant uneven, lumpy shape. Glad I found your video. I slowed it down and did it along with you.
Thank you! Just stuffing the duffel into the sack is like trying to put popped corn back into the kernel and results in a something looks like a lumpy bag of dead ferrets (not that I’d really know what that looks like). Your procedure makes it a lot easier and neater. I did refine it a bit by folding over the main flap of the duffel after you flip it over and before you start folding over the ends, if that makes sense. That makes it slightly neater and you don’t have to cram the flap into the stuff sack at the end. Thank you for posting because I don’t think I would have come up with a good way on my own!
雷Jennie excited to hear that is helped you! Would be great if you could share so others can get there is folded up as well. It took us quite a bit to figure it out the first time. :-)
"This may be a two person job but I only have one person." Me too, girl... me too. But seriously this was a super helpful video. Every time I have to fold this bag i forget how I did it last time.
If you have 2 bags you can have a competition who folds it first. Only problem is that noone wins... Great bag but difficult to fold. This video helped me at least 3 times so far and many times to come... If you remember: big opening open and side zipper closed, it's a good start.
There are two tricks which may come handy. 1. Fold the sides under the clipped handles, so it doesn't unfold during the process. 2. Use your legs to keep it compressed while closing the zip.
Thanks for the great tips, Giulio! Glad to hear that our video has been helpful for you. I'll definitely have to try your tips. Great input that helps make the video even better for others. Thanks for watching and sharing your expertise!
LOL they really shouldn't advertise the Patagonia Black Hole as "packable." It's a 2-person job. I asked the salesman at REI to help me, and we worked up a sweat trying to get it to fold up. He even said "they really aren't designed for this... once you open it once you'll probably never fold it up again." Except here's the thing: They DO advertise is as packable, and I tried folding up similar bags from Thule, Osprey, Eagle Creek, REI, and The North Face. Some had separate bags, some had a similar "self-pack" feature, but all of them were MUCH easier to compress into their carry bags.
@@jbreitwieser the experience helped me steer away from buying the Black Hole! After comparing several, that one ranked at the very bottom for me. It does live up to it's name in terms of capacity, but the usability of the straps, and the attaching mechanisms, were also sub par compared to other bags.

I estimate this video saved me about 8 hours of swearing and throwing the bag against the wall.
Haha - thanks, Pauly. Glad to hear it helped!! 😉

Perfect video. Thank you for providing simple, easy to follow verbal instructions and video. Other videos out there really make this complicated.

So glad the video helped you out. It’s really not clear until you fiddle around with it. Safe travels and happy packing!
This is the most useful video ever.
Adelina Zych - thank you so much. Glad this was useful.

This was awesome. Mine was a gift and I had no idea these did this until I saw one at the store today sold like this. Thank you!
The bags are fantastic - thank you for the nice comment and happy to hear that the video helped you folding it back together neatly! :)

dumeril7 So glad to hear that this was helpful and I will try your modification. Thanks for the great idea!
Thanks Jock! I was just wrestling with my 90L, and figured someone had posted the instructions! Hope you are well
雷Jennie excited to hear that is helped you! Would be great if you could share so others can get there is folded up as well. It took us quite a bit to figure it out the first time. :-)
Thank you for this - exactly the video I needed and was clear and concise.
That’s so great to hear- thank you, Eric! Glad it helped and feel free to share. Safe travels!
Thank you. I just picked one up at a garage sale and thought I was going to have to buy a storage bag not realizing it folded into itself.
Folding it back into itself is so satisfying- every time!🎉
I literally watch this every time I fold mine lol
Haha - nothing wrong with that! 😀 thanks for the nice feedback!
Thanks for this, I was trying to do this quickly this morning and failing miserably! Now with your vid it should be much easier! Kudos!
kaizenkowboy that’s awesome- hope it worked out and thanks for the feedback!
Omg took me less than 5 mins to do this! You’re the best teacher 😊
So happy to hear - glad it helped! :)
Thanks for helping me do what seemed impossible.
Nothing is impossible! 😉 Happy to help you tackle the (nearly) impossible Patagonia Black Hole Duffel Back challenge! 😉

Very helpful in comparison to other videos - thanks a ton
You're welcome, @shan! Feel free to share for other tortured souls out there. :)

So helpful!
This means a lot - thank you!
There are two tricks which may come handy.
1. Fold the sides under the clipped handles, so it doesn't unfold during the process.
2. Use your legs to keep it compressed while closing the zip.
Thanks for the great tips, Giulio! Glad to hear that our video has been helpful for you. I'll definitely have to try your tips. Great input that helps make the video even better for others. Thanks for watching and sharing your expertise!

Everyone after trying to do this: “ah fuck it”
I love you
You're too kind!

that's really interesting. I love mine and find it pretty useful. What did you end up using?
Just folded my bad boy up lpl
Awesomeness- glad the video helped and thanks for the nice comment! 👍
Horrible design, thank you for showing us, I did it but it took more struggle than its worth, never again
detroit hiker yes, it takes a bit of work, but overall, I like the bag a lot.
Can you please set the video language to English? Otherwise the auto captioning doesn't work bc the system thinks this is Spanish... lol
Hey Fiona - thanks for letting me know. Should be fixed now! :)
This would have been more helpful with a bag other than black and the camera oriented the other way.
Great feedback - thank you!
Something about the angle this was filmed makes me want to puke lol
abrahizzzle sorry.
abrahizzzle I will keep that in mind for future recordings. Thanks for the feedback.
I fucking hate folding the bag
I suggest charging people $25 per bag if someone asks to get this thing back into it's pouch because OUCH!!! My hands are on fire after doing this.
haha - I know...but practice makes perfect. Hope it was still helpful!
So helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome! Happy travels
Super helpful!!! Thanks
