3way bags

Reflecting on the days when I dreamt of being a backpacker at 20. Around this time of year, I nostalgically recall hitchhiking around Japan with just a backpack.
The item I’m introducing this time is perfect for those planning to study abroad or embark on a journey.

Introducing the Black Hole MLC from Patagonia, recommended by me, Takeuchi, a travel-loving city boy.
This soft yet durable suitcase can also be used as a backpack.
The name MLC stands for "Maximum Legal Carry-on," meaning it's the largest size allowed for carry-on luggage on most airlines. With a 45L capacity, it meets most airline carry-on standards, making it highly practical.

The design intentionally omits wheels and a handle, which can be cumbersome outside of airports.
This 3-way bag can be used as a backpack, shoulder bag, or Boston bag, making it highly versatile and suitable for various modes of transportation. While it might be a bit large for daily use, it’s made from recycled TPU film-laminated materials, offering excellent durability and weather resistance, making it reliable for daily commuting, school, trekking, or camping.

This one bag is versatile enough for family use, business trips, travel, and sports activities.
Its simple design is likely to appeal to both men and women. Whether you’re looking for a carry-on suitcase or a multifunctional bag, give this one a try.
