I have a Black Hole as well, 55L size (didn't know there was a 60L). It's technically over-size for carry-on. Most US carriers won't stop you, but if it's a carrier that uses dimensional boxes to check carry-on size, you might be out of luck.
But, it's a great bag for schlepping a pile of bike gear. I wouldn't want to wear it all day, but for transmitting from train station to hotel, it's fine.
So, my luggage options are roughly...
- Rapha race day bag for one-day events
- 2 different size backpacks for day hikes
- Osprey Farpoint for carry-on/overhead air travel (usually in combo with a daypack)
- Patagucci Black Hole for long weekends and longer trips by car or as checked baggage (which I try very hard to avoid doing).
