## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Made from recycled materials yet highly durable.
-   Super lightweight for its capacity it can hold.
-   Lots of external attachment for your outdoor gears.
-   Its excellent harness system makes carrying the pack super comfortable.

### Things to consider

-   The front pocket "sleeve" seems unsecured to use for some items.
-   Could use a bit more organization.

## What reviewers said

-   "Used this pack for 8 day trip on Wonderland Trail then a 10 day trip in Tetons. It performed well, had enough room for what I needed to carry and survived the beating I gave it on two large trips"
-   "love this pack's comfortable fit with proper hip straps, but it's lightweight enough to feel like a minimalist fastpack. use it for bike commuting, short backpacking, skimo and around town bag"
-   "Pack is perfect for 4-5 days of travel. No issue with size for airline overhead bag storage. Design is basically a vertical duffle bag so packing bags for gear really help the organization. An improvement would be additional zippered interior pockets."

## Reviews from around the web

**Burrito-Style Hiking Pack: Patagonia Altvia Backpack Review**
[gearjunkie.com](https://gearjunkie.com/packs/patagonia-altvia-hiking-backpack-review)

> Although my testing was limited to long sport-climbing approaches, the Altvia 36L is an impressive pack. For such a lightweight pack, it carried my heavy climbing load well. The mesh backing breathed adequately, and it was easy to load and unload with plenty of external grab-and-go storage.
