We don’t get to say this often, but if you’ve still got some travels booked in Q4 (lucky you), you’d better get on the Patagonia Black Hole duffel sale that’s happening right now over at REI. The classic Black Hole bag, so named for its Mary Poppins-esque interior that can fit a plethora of your gear in there, has developed something of a cult following thanks to its rugged durability. It’s rare to surface discounts on this carry-on bag in the wild, and when this soon-to-be-discontinued colorway—a handsome red and blue—disappears from REI’s virtual shelves, it’s not coming back.
You can wear this duffel like a backpack on your next camping trip, then dust it off and sling it over your shoulder the next time you’re heading to the airport for a getaway. For adventures in the great outdoors, Patagonia designed this bag with water-repellant fabric that can withstand anything Mother Nature (or an overworked baggage handler) throws your way. Normally, this iconic duffel bag retails for $170, but if you act fast you can snag it for just $118 at REI. Similar discounts on Black Hole bags at REI have disappeared in a matter of hours, so don’t bother waiting around for a better deal.
Or, if you miss your chance to get in on this rare Patagonia sale, you can still score some big discounts on gear and garb elsewhere. Between Outerknown’s fall sale on blanket shirts and the early Prime Day deals swaggering in, now’s the time to stock up on fall essentials, outdoor accessories, and fresh furniture.
