Why We Love This Deal
I was recently outdoors on day three of back-to-back rainstorms in “sunny” Florida, reminded of the importance of water-resistant gear. Wearing my water-resistant (and hot-weather-approved) REI Co-op Trailmade Joggers, at least my lower half was protected. But that wasn’t enough to keep my gear safe from the rain. In situations like these, it pays to have a weather-ready backpack, and that’s why this Patagonia bag is a good pickup if you commute or travel.
The 32-liter Patagonia Fieldsmith Roll-Top Pack is now selling for $59 during a special limited-time sale at REI on select Outlet gear. Users often use it as a commuter backpack, while others undoubtedly use it as a carry-along for day hikes, short trips, and even touring Disney attractions due to its spacious interior and ready-for-anything design. The only caveat? The sale ends on Oct. 6, so if you want to snag one of these bags for almost $100 off, do it fast.
Patagonia 32L Fieldsmith Roll-Top Pack, From $59 (was $149) at REI
What Shoppers Should Know
- Compartments: 4 (including a laptop compartment) + main
- Key Materials: Cotton, ripstop nylon, polyester
- Best Use Case: Commuting, hiking, and any other situation where a sudden drizzle could ruin your day.
The first thing to know about this backpack is that it is actually quite massive, with a 32-liter capacity across its many compartments. For comparison, Osprey’s bestselling travel pack has a 22-liter capacity. You’re going to be able to get whatever you want in here.
Its materials are also quite premium, with a mixture of heavy cotton, ripstop nylon, and high-density polyester creating a protective layer that won’t stop. The whole thing is water-resistant with a roll-top for extra protection and easily accessible water bottle pouches for hydration without the need to unzip your pack.
One thing we like about this deal from REI is that there are multiple color options available, both priced at $59. That’s much better than the single sale option available from Patagonia direct.
What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper said, “I use it to commute to work and straight to the gym—it carries everything I need for the day.” They also noted that “it’s high quality and spacious.” Another shopper also praised its capabilities as a commuter bag. It’s just a good size for that. Both shoppers noted how easy and essential the laptop compartment is for their needs.
