Patagonia Refugio Day Pack 26L - High Hopes Geo / Forge Grey

Patagonia Refugio Day Pack Backpack 26L - High Hopes Geo / Forge Grey

A fabulous all-round eco-friendly Patagonia daypack, just as comfortable on the commute as it is in the hills, with space for all your essentials and more.

The Patagonia Refugio Daypack in High Hopes Geo / Forge Grey is a 26 litre rucksack with hidden talents. It has a dark navy blue main body with a retro geometric pattern in brown and light lime green front panel, and side pockets with navy zips, fixings and the Patagonia logo, which runs down along the front panel. It has padded rucksack straps for comfort and a chest strap for security and fit. It has 3 main storage compartments; the desk caddy compartment to ensure all your work items can be kept together, a large main compartment, with loads of room for a change of clothes, packed lunch or a set of waterproofs, and there’s a front panel pocket to ensure you don’t lose those everyday essentials. The back panel is breathable which is just as essential on the commute as in the hills, plus there is a hydration hanger with pass through access, and stretchy mesh side pockets which you can fit your reusable bottle into. One of the really clever parts to this bag is that the padded laptop sleeve with room for desk items, is fully removable, ensuring an easy transition from work to play and back again.

Nearly all of the material used on the Patagonia Refugio Daypack is 100% recycled polyester, except for the stretchy mesh side pocket which is 84% recycled nylon/16% elastane blend. Patagonia leads the way again when less than 10% of the fibres produced around the world are made with recycled materials.

The 19 inch torso on this eco laptop backpack will fit most adults and with it’s padding and breathability it’s lovely and comfy. It is bound to be a hit with eco conscious commuters, hikers and even bikers with its bike light clipping point. Why have 3 recycled rucksacks when you can have one Patagonia backpack which does all of the jobs in one.

We're proud to be stocking patagonia at Babipur, the pioneers of responsible business practices! Patagonia were one of the earliest adopters of organic cotton recognising the damage that pesticides had on the earth and making the switch back in 1994. A core value is to make the very best quality product because better products last longer and the longer products last the less that have to be made. Materials and manufacturing are carefully considered to ensure minimal impact from creation through to disposal.

Patagonia's continued efforts to reduce and even reverse the impacts of commercial activities is awe-inspiring. Investment in environmental causes and activism, sourcing of reused, recycled and low impact materials, fair trade certifications and initiatives to help other companies achieve higher sustainability levels, Patagonia lead the way. Not satisfied with pushing for change within their own industry Patagonia have begun a food division looking to change farming practices for the better too. Now a global brand using their increased influence for the greater good and still independently owned.
