Size Comparison: North Face Base Camp Duffel XS/S and Patagonia Black Hole 60 L 

Thanks for the reviews incredibly helpful. Never thought I'd find a video comparison of these 2 bags!

Hi! This is what i was looking for. Very helpful comparison. Thank you!

Great video. I normally use the small base camp but I’ve been considering the xs... just ordered one based on both your review and this comparison. Thanks again! 👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸

Great videos, thanks for making these comparisons....honestly so helpful to see them in the home environment for scale....Ill be bringing the Base Camp S to Alaska

I really appreciate your reviews and answers to all questions. Great work 👍

I've been going back and forth between the extra small and the small North Face Base Camp over the last few weeks and your videos have really helped me make a decision. I will be using it for 2-3 day, maybe the occasional 4 days, trips and I don't need much other than clothes and toiletries, maybe my iPad and a book, so I think I have decided that the extra small is more than enough for me and I like the fact that I can use it as carry on next time I'm flying somewhere. Thanks for your great reviews!

Really great review thanks I like the size comparison on your back that helped me realise the TNF small is to big for a reliable carry on without risking being told it needs to go in the hold xs it is for me thanks again

Thanks, that was really helpful for me.

thanks so much... great comparison.... the xs seems actually big and can pack many things but still being compact enough for less stressful travel... Maybe have the duffle for most packed items and then a smaller organized sling/tech bag for efficient travel..

awesome video. thank you for the time and work you put into this video Chris

I'm a Dad with little Children. I bought the XS NF DB instead of a nappy bag. Here's why: Cheaper, more durable, fits in the Baby Jogger Select basket, and if I need to put other things like groceries, or whatever into the pram's basket, this duffle goes on my back. I can fit more than nappy items in it, I can wipe it out, put in spare clothes for the other Children, and it also has a matching large toiletry bag that I purchased with it for a secure zip-up parent console on the pram's handle bar. When it is no longer needed for a nappy bag, it will be used for camping luggage. I intend to buy a few more like this. Think smart guys, if you are in the same boat as me, or have a partner that could use a new nappy bag to go with the pram as mentioned, then there are other colours as well. Get a matching large toiletry bag for her too as a parent console. You'll get lovin' for weeks to come.

so helpful ty!

Thank you this was really helpful 👍👍😊 Just a quick question do you think xs is enough for 4 days trips? And Is all summer clothes. Thank you!! Great video!!

Is there any world the Base Camp Small could be used for a personal item? If you don’t fill it and cinch it down? I just feel the small is more versatile for my uses. But if it won’t work as a personal item then it reduces its value to me

Hi Chris! Does the handle of the Patagonia hurts your back? I’d like the 40L black hole but I’m in doubt for the handles in the back. Thank you!

Hi, Chris. Do you think the 50 L small Base Camp Duffel can hold a 25 in tennis racket? I am not sure about the sizes cuz I want to use it for gym and preferably tennis. Appreciate if you could answer that :)

Have you ever had any problems using the xs as a personal item?

Do you think the small can fit a sneaker box in it? Thanks in advance stuck between buying the small and medium

Hey Chris, which one has the thicker material? Appreciate if you can answer that :)

Which material wears better, Black Hole or Base Camp? I want a material that doesn't scuff up or mark too easily. Thanks.

Which bag do you think is best for kids sports?

Hi Chris! I am planning to use Base Camp XS as carry on luggage. The carry on size is 55x40x23 cm (22x14x9 inches) and the bag has 45x28x28 cm (18x11x11 inches) so on height is to big. Do you think this shoul be a problem taking into consideration the other sizes are much smaller than the limit? Cheers

So I want to get one for a personal item bag, but am unsure whether the small will squish under the seat. I know the xs would be more ideal, but I waited too long to get the color I wanted in xs, so I’m still debating. Would the small squish enough under the seat?

Can All three of these bags be taken on as carry-on bags?

Do you think the 60 L is too large for a smaller woman?

Haha this video is fucking useful

Do you know if a 15.6/16 inch laptop could fit in the base camp xs, with about two days worth of clothes?

Great stuff, I ultimately decided on the Patagonia 60 L insteand of the TNF Small, because it's a) bigger and more importantly b) has handles which the TNF used to have but have been eliminated with recent(?) design update. Again...great work Chris!
