Patagonia Refugio 28L Backpack
The Patagonia Refugio is perfect for anyone who needs a reliable backpack for daily commutes, travel or light outdoor activities like hiking or beach days. At 28 liters, the main compartment is surprisingly roomy while the front pocket is perfect for organizing smaller items for school or work. Features such as a removable sternum strap, front attachment loops and DWR water resistant coating also makes the Refugio perfect for days outdoors.
The Patagonia Refugio comes in two sizes, the Refugio 28 liter and the smaller women’s Refugio 26 liter backpack.
What we like
Incredibly versatile. Roomy enough to be used for school, commuting, light travel or as an outdoor daypack.
Main compartment is surprisingly roomy and can comfortably fit a days worth of school books, lunch or extra clothes.
What we don’t like
Shoulder straps are a little too close together. This could be a problem for bigger people with broad shoulders.
