Brief description

The Patagonia Refugio Day Pack 26L is Patagonia's all-rounder backpack: 26 liters of capacity in a design that works equally well for commuting with a laptop or for a hike through the Tramuntana mountains with a water bottle and just the essentials. Made from 100% recycled materials and with a PFAS-free water-repellent finish, it's the backpack you buy once and use for years.
