Carry-on backpacks
Patagonia’s MLC is a travel bag that can backpack, duffel, and sometimes briefcase depending on the generation. The public constant is the 45L name and the Black Hole fabric story.
Patagonia refreshes this SKU, so the current product page carries the gram weight for the generation on sale.
Shortlist reason: a carry-on claim baked into the name plus a written guarantee program.
