Patagonia Black Hole Wheeled Duffel 40L on KLM
Bag 21.75×14.5×11" vs sizer 21.7×13.8×9.8"
No — it's oversized.
The verdict, explained
At 21.75x14.5x11", the Patagonia Black Hole Wheeled Duffel 40L exceeds KLM's 21.7x13.8x9.8" carry-on sizer — it is 0.1" too big on its longest side, 0.7" too big on its second-longest side, 1.2" too big on its shortest side. Even with the straps pulled tight, the overage is too large to count on squeezing it in. Expect it to be turned away at the gate and gate-checked. On KLM: Cabin bag + accessory combined weight limit is 12kg. It is too large for KLM's under-seat personal-item space, so it has to go overhead or be checked.
