Is the Patagonia Black Hole worth the price?

Across Pack Hacker's testing, Consumer Reports' write-up, and the r/onebag and r/HerOneBag consensus, the Black Hole line gets unusually consistent praise for durability, weather resistance, and Patagonia's warranty. The main pushback is price and, on the MLC line, suspension comfort on longer walks — reviewers say it's worth it if you'll use it heavily, less so as an occasional weekender.
