My new sub bag vs my old sub bag

Mine is a black Patagonia Refugio backpack which is apparently being discontinued or updated: https://www.patagonia.com/product/refugio-daypack-26-liters/47913.html I find it perfect for teaching. Enough room and padded compartment for my personal iPad, chargers, and cables, along with spare pens, r

Disappointed by Patagonia’s lifetime (or just 5-year) bag warranty

Try a different store. I had a 15 year old Refugio daypack that was 100% replaced due to delaminating on the inside, in store under the warranty. At that age, id understand if they had refused it but they offered the replacement! At 5 years yeah thats poor quality in my opinion and they should repla

Thoughts on Quintic 28 for everyday work/gym & travel ?

I’ve used a Patagonia Refugio 30L for a minute and I’d say it’s a better option

Etihad to Taiwan - 7kg ONE Bag only

Look at the Patagonia Refugio 30l for a good option for <7kg travel - it’s only 795g and the laptop sleeve is removable so without that it’s even lighter, and it has a sternum strap and decent straps. I think some of the top load Decathlon bags are also fairly lightweight. I would just try not to br

30L vs 40L bag, help me decide!

40l will be too much for a lot of carry-on options. 30L is what I'll use at most, and still I get stopped to check my bag in a sizer. Especially on Wizz flights. I use a Patagonia Refugio 30, and it fits for multiple weeks of travel. I usually combine it with a tote, or a tote bag If I have a carryo

Looking for ‘Everything’ Bag

The Refugio 30 is close to the same size. See if Patagonia will warranty it. REI Ruckpack 30 for an alternative. Patagonia Black Hole 25 or 32 as well.

I need a backpack with some specific requirements.

I just got a Patagonia Refugio daypack to replace my old messenger bag. Separate laptop section with padding. Nice and streamlined. In Smolder Blue it looks adultish and not too tacticool. They also have a "Noble Gray" which might work too. Lifetime guarantee. https://www.patagonia.com/product/refug

I want to use forclaz 40L but not able to stay within 7kg

Get a lighter bag and laptop and an ipad mini. Switching to a Patagonia Refugio 30 saves you 700 grams and the ipad mini saves you another 300. That's a kilo right there.
