The Black Hole 25L is my go-to bag for everyday commutes in Auckland. It’s spacious enough to fit my laptop, gym clothes and lunch – and the water resistant outer is perfect for keeping everything dry when it buckets down unexpectantly. The quality/durability is also super impressive, considering it’s going on 6 years old now. What sold me on this bag was the way the top opens up and I can see everything I've packed for the day without lying it down on it's back. The zips aren’t waterproof – but I’ve never had any issues with this. It’s also a great carry-on personal item when travelling – but if you’re wanting to travel super minimally check out the 32L for a bit more space that still meets all the carry on dimensions on budget airlines.

This bag feels so durable, comfortable and trustworthy! It’s the dream carry-on, made to fit with the strictest of strict travel requirements, while not sacrificing any comfort, organisational features or looks. I LOVE the sling option as well, it’s super easy to convert and just makes it that much more versatile and ready for anything. The internal organisation is extensive and super coherent, you can see through the mesh to ensure nothing is lost or getting gross and stuffy! If you’re looking for a reliable, smaller carry on bag for travel then this would be my absolute top pick.

The Refugio 30L is a good pack used for commuting, work or even as a carry on. The bag is really nice and spacious and can fit everything you might need for a day. The outer mesh pocket is quite handy to keep dirty gear separated. There's a little bike light clipping point and daisy chains where you can hook thing to. Another nice feature is the padded laptop compartment that can fit a 15" laptop. The padding is pretty simple but fits comfortably while you take it from point A to B.

Fit tip:
Wouldn't fit short torsos as nicely
  • 48.26cm torso length fits most adults
  • All materials are 100% recycled and were chosen with durability in mind; exterior fabric has a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without intentionally added PFAS
  • Main compartment and front pocket include internal pockets for organisation
  • Separate, padded laptop compartment can accommodate laptops up to 15 inches and has a zipped flap to repel more moisture
  • Front mesh pocket holds extra items or separates wet/dirty gear from the rest of your pack
  • Side water-bottle pockets are reinforced for years of abuse
  • Hydration hanger, pass-through access and breathable back panel are as ready for the trail as the daily commute
  • Daisy chains allow you to lash on extra gear
  • Bike-light clipping point at base of pack
  • Body, backpanel/shoulder strap and pocket fabrics are certified as bluesign® approved
