Patagonia’s new daypacks are made for traveling and adventuring

Patagonia's newest collection of daypacks offers something for the everyday commuter to the occasional traveler. They provide excellent organization and are durably crafted with environmentally friendly products.

Patagonia announces its fall 2017 daypack collection — made with more recycled materials and comprising many added features.

The company released six new packs built to last, with styles specific to both men and women. These daypacks provide for excellent organization, are durably crafted with environmentally friendly products, and boast supreme comfort. 

This new line of daypacks serve as the ultimate provision for back-to-school activities, traveling abroad, biking, hiking, or journeying to any place adventure takes you.

Spacious compartments offer a padded laptop sleeve and additional tablet pocket, front organization pocket for easy accessory management, and a front stash pocket for quick access to frequently used items.

The Chacabuco, Refugio, and Paxat packs are available in both men’s and women’s styles. The Chacabuco and Refugio packs afford two stretchable side water bottle pockets while the Paxat pack is equipped with two zip versions that can be used to store other items instead.

The padded laptop sleeve in each backpack fits most 15-inch laptops and is separately accessible from the main compartment. Comfort is allocated by breathable mesh utilized in the shoulder straps as well as the adjustable sternum straps.

The Chacabuco style features adjustable cording ideal to fit a bike helmet or for stashing extra clothing layers. Features on the women’s-specific products include a shorter torso length and narrower straps more tapered to fit a women’s form.

The men’s Chacabuco pack is available in a 30-liter size while the women’s version is designed to hold 28 liters. The men’s Paxat pack comes in a 32-liter size for men and a 30-liter for women while the Refugio pack is offered in a 28-liter style for men and a 26-liter style for women.

The men’s and women’s Chacabuco pack can be purchased for $100 on Patagonia’s website. The Paxat pack is available for $120 and the Refugio pack for $90.

The limited-edition Current LTD comes loaded with premium upgrades, powerful motor assistance, and features designed for serious trail riding.

Aventon is taking things up a notch with its latest electric mountain bike. The new Current LTD is a full-suspension eMTB packed with high-end components, plenty of power, and some impressive technology. There's one catch, though. Only 99 are being made, and each comes with a $7,999 price tag.

INIU has launched the Rugged 10000, a $54.99 power bank with 45W fast charging and IP67 dust and water protection. Its 10,000mAh battery supplies power through two USB-C ports for phones and outdoor gear.

It’s the first product from the company’s new INIU Outdoor division. Weighing roughly 196g, the silicone-armored battery is designed for hikers who need backup power but want to keep their pack light.

Keeping devices charged and a campsite lit takes a little planning once wall outlets disappear. These four Amazon offers cover portable solar power, satellite communication, and two different approaches to camp lighting. The BigBlue, BioLite, and LuminAID prices require Prime membership.
