Patagonia Refugio 30L Carry-On Backpack $159.99 Delivered (RRP $199.99) @ Boardstore

330

Found this bag with a further 20 percent off from current sales price on the Boardstore website. Patagonia has this item in ugly colourways for $169. This post is the black variant and other colours available too.

Scanned reddit for reliable branded carry on bag. I have an upcoming trip where I'll be flying with easyjet and this bag seems to have a lot of great reviews. First time posting lol. You may delete this post if it doesn't meet criteria in any way.

  • Showing as $199 for me

    • Sorry friend, i have added the link in my description. Also added the red colourway.

  • Does anyone have this bag? Thoughts? Looking for a quality everyday backpack, so I can stop using the cheap Dell backpacks lol.

    • Ill let you know once mine arrives! I spent considerable time going through reddit to find a comfy bag that would meet the strict baggage size policies from budget airlines. Found a lot of posts pointing to this bag lol…

    • I have this! It’s pretty good, Patagonia so I wouldn’t expect less. But I did get it for I think 130 around a year ago from another website. Laptop pocket inside is super handy and detachable too, lots of little places to tie and adjust to your fitting. Also can fit a lot more things than you initially think.

    • Regardless of the exact details, this will be incomparable to a cheap Dell pack in terms of materials, longevity and the amount of design effort.

      I'm super picky with packs, and Patagonia wouldn't be at the top of the list for various minor reasons, but it will kick the living ass out of anything from Dell.

      I suspect the cheap Dell packs are just taken off an OEM line from some random Chinese factory. There's not much effort put into the design of them, and just as little effort put into sourcing materials (besides effort to find 'cheapest possible' materials).

      I had a cheap Dell pack from an OzB deal which I kept for 3 days then donated to a charity bin. Similarly priced Decathlon packs are better than the cheap Dell packs.

    • Yep this store hasgood peice and sometimes bargains

  • Tempted to refresh my 6 year old Osprey nebula 32 with this, however the back breathability and compartments seem inferior.

    • Yep i have 10 osprey comet 30L
      But still going strong so i can't replace it

    • Curious, isn't that a better bag? This looks like it has less compartments (and lacks a hip strap).

      • Yeah it is a better bag, it's just that the water bottle pocket elastics have gone and it's been well beaten up as my daily.

    • Same, just checked mine from 2013 - Osprey Porter Travel Duffle, 46-Liter

      Maybe not as rugged but still lasts, lightweight and is the perfect size for carry on. Can fit more and it's size lets on, ties down smaller (no good if you have to weigh).
      prefer the travel bag style cad open the whole thing. OPs would be good for a day bag and hiking etc.

    If you get black then no one’s gonna see you have a Patagonia bag.

    Strange name for a backpack "refugee-oh".

      It's Spanish for refuge.

      <facepalm>

      If you have ever been hiking in Patagonia, you have stayed in a refugio. Same way as if you've done the Milford Track you've stayed in a hut. Or if you've travelled cheap through Spain you've stayed at a pension, instead of a B&B.

    The piss yellow one was usually $99

  • Is this good for cycle commuting with shirt and work trousers, shoes etc.

      The size is good and would do the trick but no pics of the back to check it breathes.
      Black isn't safe and no reflective bits by the look of it.
      For $160 i'd look at cycling brand bags but of course you could use it.

      I say no based on the harness. Check out some of the Osprey/Deuter bags that sit further off your back.

    • I got one of these 30L in yellow great bag and fits a lot
      (original generation, so was almost 2kg by itself but they've made them lighter weight)

      Would be money better spent if you are on the bike, IPX5 certified waterproof etc.
