👍 Reasons to Buy

• This pack is specifically made for women's body type for better fit and comfort as it has a shorter back panel and shoulder straps. It also has a narrower profile as a whole.
• Truly lightweight for a bag of this size while still being reliable in terms of durability.
• Has clever organization that would surely keep things organized whenever you travel.
• Has multiple external attachment points for accessories and outdoor gears.

🤔 Things to Consider

• Has less capacity (2L short) than its original version to accommodate changes for women's body type.
• The compression straps can hinder access to the main compartment.
• Could use some external pockets because the pockets it currently has eats up space from the main compartment.

💬 Reviewers Have Said

• "This is a great pack, lots of pockets! I ended up loving the front zip pocket- it's really convenient."
• "This backpack is spacious and holds a lot. Plenty of pockets to help organize things. The side pockets with straps are fantastic. I used this backpack for travel a few times."
• "This backpack is incredibly comfortable and roomy. I've used it for a carry-on bag when flying, at Disneyland for 3 days, and hiking. The water bottle holders are nice and deep, perfect for my 24 oz Hydroflask. Even a 40 oz Hydroflask will fit in there. I am not someone who enjoys having to wear a backpack and carry stuff around in general, but with this one, I barely notice it, even in hot weather. It really is that comfortable. Highly recommend!"
• "Just got this in a few weeks ago but I love it already. I plan to use it for college and it fits my computer, notebooks, and everything else! The material feels durable and comfortable. Good backpack and I can use it for adventures in the future!"

🔎 Reviews

"Lightweight materials and outdoorsy features make the Patagonia Refugio Backpack ready for adventures. It also works for EDC if you don’t have much to carry."

"I found this pack to be extremely comfortable to wear both on and off the bike. It didn’t feel too big or bulky like some other’s I’ve had, and yet, I could easily fit in everything I needed for the day and my gym kit."

"I love this backpack for the simple ways that it's smart and how those simple advancements make my life easier and more seamless. If you're looking for a mid-size bag to keep things in and make the commute or the trail easier, I highly recommend this one. Even without the gender specification, it's a particularly great bag. "

"Though the Patagonia Refugio would work well for hiking and other sports, it seems tailored to travel and around town use. Laptop compatibility, special pockets for pens, an iPhone, even a microfiber pocket for sunglasses, and the lack of a waist belt all seem to add up to being the perfect pack to bring with you while flying or on a trip."
