## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   High-quality construction and made from recycled materials.
-   Comfortable harness system.
-   Comes with a rain cover to provide extra protection from rough weather.
-   Covered by Patagonia's Ironclad Guarantee.

### Things to consider

-   The closure system of this bag is a bit awkward to use for some users.
-   Could use a little bit more organization.

## What reviewers said

-   "I was looking for a simple, lightweight pack that I could use for daily use on the Camino de Santiago, and this pack is it. The Altiva is the perfect balance between size and weight with enough room for all the essentials, while still having the small essentials that make this pack work day after day. The special bonus is the built-in rain cover."
-   "I took the Altvia on a 10-day trip through Oregon, lugging daily necessities for two adults and a 4-year-old on city days but also on long days in the Mt. Hood Wilderness and along the Oregon coast. It's held up great and been a great companion and honestly a hell of a lot more comfortable than my Refugio."
-   "I love this pack! It is super versatile where I can take it skinning, use it for work, and everything in between. It fits everything I need and the hip pockets are super helpful. They're not big enough for a phone but they fit my keys, headphones, and a couple of masks with no problem."
-   "This is an excellent all-around pack for skiing and hiking. The top lid/closure system takes some getting used to, but is actually quite efficient and expandable. The waist belt is appreciated for skiing and the waist pockets are adequate, if not slightly small."

## Reviews from around the web

**Patagonia Altvia Pack 28L | Review**
[outdoorsmagic.com](https://outdoorsmagic.com/article/patagonia-altvia-pack-28l-review/)

> “Patagonia pitch this pack as ‘for a day, or slightly longer, when your trail time could turn into an overnight.’ The first thing you notice with the Altvia is the large front-loading stuff pocket, which is quite useful for shoving extra layers inside when you can’t be bothered with the faff of undoing the top lid. Although closing up the top lid is admittedly quite easy as it closes up automatically with a simple pull of the drawstring.
