FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Small and Large Black Hole® Cubes?
The Small cube has a 3-liter capacity, and the Large cube has a 14-liter capacity. Specific external dimensions are not provided but are designed to fit within larger luggage.
Is the Black Hole® Cube waterproof?
The cube is constructed with durable, water-resistant materials and features a DWR finish, which helps repel water. However, it is not fully waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may allow moisture to penetrate.
What materials is the Black Hole® Cube made from?
The product description mentions exceptionally durable construction, often associated with Patagonia's Black Hole® line which typically uses tough recycled polyester or nylon fabrics with a DWR finish.
Can I use multiple cubes in one bag?
Yes, the design is intended for organizing multiple categories of gear, making it efficient to use several cubes within a single larger bag or backpack.
What colors are available?
The Black Hole® Cube is available in Aqua, Black, Noble Grey, Basin Green, and Weathered Stone.
Is this product suitable for children?
While designed for general use, its durable construction and organizational benefits can be useful for older children or teens managing their sports gear or travel items.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of dry lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) applied to the zipper teeth can help improve glide.
Cube material seems dirty or stained.
Wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry completely.
Unable to fit desired items.
Consider purchasing the larger 14L size if you consistently need more space, or try to consolidate items more efficiently within the current cube.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Black Hole® Cube requires no setup; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply open the zipper and begin organizing your items inside.
Compatibility: This gear cube is designed to be compatible with most standard duffel bags, backpacks, and luggage. Its rectangular shape allows it to fit efficiently alongside other packed items. It is available in two sizes (Small 3L and Large 14L) to accommodate different organizational needs and available space.
Care Instructions: To clean the Black Hole® Cube, use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior and interior. For tougher stains, a mild soap can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish and fabric. Allow the cube to air dry completely before storing.
