Patagonia Black Hole Wheeled Duffel 40L on Spirit Airlines
Bag 21.75×14.5×11" vs sizer 22×18×10"
Fits, if packed soft.
🎒 Backpacker's tip: The Patagonia Black Hole Wheeled Duffel 40L is soft-shell, so its depth runs ~1.5" over Spirit Airlines's limit — but it squeezes into the metal sizer fine as long as you don't over-stuff the front pockets.
The verdict, explained
At 21.75x14.5x11", the Patagonia Black Hole Wheeled Duffel 40L is over Spirit Airlines's 22x18x10" limit by 1" on its shortest side, but it is a soft-sided bag. Cinch the compression straps and avoid overstuffing the outer pockets and it will squeeze into the metal sizer; pack it bulging, though, and a gate agent may flag it. On Spirit Airlines: Personal item free; carry-on is PAID — cheapest if added online. It is too large for Spirit Airlines's under-seat personal-item space, so it has to go overhead or be checked.
