Why we picked it
Wirecutter's Best Duffel Bag (2024): nearly waterproof tpu-laminated fabric
The Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 55L is made from 100% recycled ripstop polyester with a TPU laminate that makes it essentially waterproof. The fabric is absurdly tough and the bag converts between duffel and backpack carry modes. Backed by Patagonia's Ironclad Guarantee, which covers repair, replacement, or refund for life.
