 You have this large mesh slip pocket here and i really like the use of mesh to make it very easy to see what's on the inside and then i really like the size of it too. It'S a taller compartment. So it's going to be great for larger accessories such as this blue part, portable bluetooth, speaker and power bank that i have here. It was able to fit very easily, but this might also be a great spot to put a phone and then, in this compartment you also have a small clip

 I can also toss in an additional smaller packing cube that has my socks and t-shirts and things like that, and then i can close this up and then the bag is set to travel for at least a long weekend. Maybe even a week-long trip, depending on how minimally i was packing, so just really love the versatility of the size and how much it can end up holding without looking that big and then the last thing that we're going to take a look at in this main Area is the tablet and laptop sleeve, so starting off with the tablet area. I really like that it has a dedicated sleeve for your tablet. Currently, what i have in here is my ipad mini, but this would definitely be able to hold up to a full size

 Even when it's a little bit more packed out, the bag does have a pretty deep volume. So it can tend to stick out just a little bit, but i still found that it didn't get so big that it would be uncomfortable to walk around crowded areas or jump onto public transit, continuing on with the straps and the back paneling. So far, the bag has been really comfortable to wear. I really like how the straps have been implemented here

 So far, the bag has been really comfortable to wear. I really like how the straps have been implemented here. They have a nice amount of padding, they're pretty thick and then on the inside. They have this meshy material to help prevent moisture from building up, and then i also really like that the straps have a nice width to help prevent the bag from digging into your shoulders, even when it's a little bit more packed out and then on the straps

Patagonia Refugio Backpack Review - Awesome 28L All-Purpose Pack

 One star off because the mesh on the strap started coming off. The small mesh pocket in one of the compartments also had a hole through it after a couple of use. I use that pocket to put pens and a small pencil case. I don't really find the front pocket that useful

 It fit my 13.3" laptop perfectly. I carry about 10lbs-15lbs of stuff on a daily basis. It holds up really well

Good day pack.

 Along with that comes a shorter back panel and a more narrow profile. The back panel itself is so densely padded that you won’t feel your laptop inside against your back at all. It also has a layer of Airflow Mesh to fight back sweat. A bit of this mesh is also on the shoulder straps for the same reason, although it does have a bit of a crunchy feel and sound

 So if you’re not looking for a hiking or climbing backpack, but still want something relatively small for your work commute, this could be it!

 We’re not sure if this is only on the women’s version due to the more narrow shape, or not, but some strategic packing is definitely necessary. 

Patagonia Refugio Backpack Review | Pack Hacker

 So i really like the organization in here for the tech, then just got like my wallet and some other bits in here that are, you know, just kind of smash down in there so close that up and take a look at the main compartment. So once again you can see you know that compression strap i'm trying to zip it all the way down, and it's just you know, sort of blocking it. So you can just undo those so that you can zip it down a little bit further or you can just keep them like relatively loose um, which that doesn't really look too clean either. But if you keep the compression straps relatively loose, then you know you can zip it down just fine

 So you can just undo those so that you can zip it down a little bit further or you can just keep them like relatively loose um, which that doesn't really look too clean either. But if you keep the compression straps relatively loose, then you know you can zip it down just fine. So let's open up the main compartment here, so you can see what i've got inside just got my laptop. So i believe this fits up to a 15-inch laptop

 If you want it doesn't really look as neat. If you do and then, of course, this compression strap does block the main compartment zipper. If you use it so just something to be aware of, i kind of like how it holds the water bottle into place, though so that's kind of nice. But again it's going to block the main compartment

Patagonia Refugio Backpack Review (2 Weeks of Use)

 I really like the harness system on that as far as the straps. The back panel has a nice frame sheet, but it doesn't have a ton of breathability so your back will tend to get a little sweaty. But it's a solidly built bag. It has an excellent organizational layout

 It has a lot of molle webbing all throughout, which provides you with tons of flexibility for configuring the bag with pouches or attaching things with clips. It's a comfortable bag. It feels well built. It's going to come in at a similar price range to this

 It's made out of a recycled 400d polyester that also has a Dwr coating. With other Patagonia bags that I've had in the past, they've held up well. I like that this also helps keep the bag lightweight. Comes in at just over a pound, which is particularly nice as these are meant to be used for hiking in addition to day-to-day use, so it's nice to save weight on that a little bit without feeling like you're sacrificing durability

Comes in at just over a pound, which is particularly nice as these are meant to be used for hiking in addition to day-to-day use, so it's nice to save weight on that a little bit without feeling like you're sacrificing durability. Patagonia, of course, also has, you know very strong beliefs as far as continuing to use your products as long as possible repairing so they're meant to last. It has a little bit more of a tactical vibe

The trusty REI Co-op Flash 22 stands out for its value in our Best Daypacks review. This is a lightweight and surprisingly comfortable minimalist daypack that makes it quite versatile as well. We were impressed by how well this ultra-lightweight pack carried loads. It has a thin piece of foam padding for a frame, side pockets for water bottles, and an ice axe loop. It doesn't have much more than those features, but that's usually all we want in a daypack anyway. We've been using versions of the Flash for over 10 years, and the newest version sets the standard for affordable and lightweight daypacks. We've even used this pack for running. And while it does bounce around some, the lightweight build makes it work well enough for moving quickly on the trail. 
With a single layer of ultralight fabric, the Flash 22 isn't the most durable pack out there. However, the ripstop nylon it's constructed with is durable and easily patchable if you do experience any wear. This pack isn't great for heavy loads, either. But we don't expect that with a sub-one-pound pack. If you're looking for an affordable pack that works for hiking, commuting, travel, or bringing along backpacking as a day pack, this is a great choice. This pack is available in multiple sizes and colors as well.

REI Co-op’s Flash line of daypacks has been a mainstay among hikers, travelers, and those on a budget for years. And with a recent update, the latest Flash 22 is more competitive than ever. Simplicity wins out here: The Flash 22 is frameless by design, meaning it lacks the rigidity of other daypacks but manages to keep weight extremely low at just 14 ounces (and even less if you take out the back pad or sternum strap). You don’t get a cushy hipbelt or shoulder straps, but the padded mesh along the back and shoulders does a good job at keeping you comfortable when carrying lighter loads. Perhaps most importantly, the Flash costs just $60, is well built overall, and has enough capacity for all-day outings on the trail (provided you pack relatively light).

As we touched on above, the Flash 22 was updated recently with some noteworthy changes. For an ounce more than its predecessor, the latest pack utilizes a nylon and polyester construction throughout (the prior model was just nylon with mesh water bottle pockets) with solution-dyed materials that require considerably less water during production. The top lid was also tweaked and now includes two buckles rather than one for snugging things down, and the Packmod bungee can be moved up or down to customize gear attachments. But some downsides remain: The Flash 22 isn't a standout in all-out comfort and support for shuttling a heavy load over long distances, materials are on the thinner end for rough use, and it’s only sold in one size. But if you can keep weight to a minimum, the Flash 22 is a great way to go fast and light on a budget. For an even lighter and more streamlined version, check out REI’s $20-cheaper Flash 18...

I hadn't planned to get the Flash, but after trying on a bunch, that one was the one that felt the best for me. If you're a beginner backpacker, you're probably hiking with some heavy and/or bulky gear, so it's even more important to get a comfortable pack that fits you properly (they'll measure you at the store).

Basically, in summer next year, I'm planning a hiking holiday, and I'm just wondering if anyone on here knows of any good (preferably frameless) hiking bags.

I do already have a bag which, if nothing else works (I can't include any info about it, unfortunately, as it was a gift, and, at least of the top of my head, I can't remember any details about it), but I'd just like to see what people recommend before I make any decisions.

Any Recommendations For A Hiking Bag That Will Be Used Over Multiple Days

 This is a technically a frameless back pack. It has no suspension system or aluminum or plastic or any kind of stiff frame in here. It does have a little bit of a thin foam piece, call it a back panel. You can actually open up the water bladder and pull this back panel out like so and this is basically is offering you a little bit of support on your back and what if you're out and about on your day hike? you can actually pull this out and just set it right on the ground, pop a seat on that

 The same goes for the adjustable strap. Down here. you simply pull in each of these sides to go ahead and get the proper fit that you're looking for. Also on the sternum strap here you also have a built in integrated whistle

 But if you do have the trekking poles attached to the package so you can't expect the pack is, sit up very nicely. Alright, so now that this is fully loaded, let's take a peek on what this actually looks like on my back. [Music] This is my review of the REI Co-op Class 22 day pack.

REI Co-op Flash 22 Daypack - Full Review - 2019

 However, it is surprisingly comfy, giving you good support when you're carrying your items with you. Even though it offers minimalistic features, this characteristic does not take away from its clever build that sees to it that every part offers incredible support for its users. The foam frame sheet feels soft and it keeps sharp objects in your bag from piercing your back as you walk. Ventilation: For great ventilation! This day pack comes with padded mesh on the back panel and both shoulder straps

 On the outside, this daypack offers two pockets that are zipped and a storage area on the lid flap for storing small pieces of equipment. On either side of the daypack are two deep pockets ideal for water bottles and similar items. Sizing: This daypack only comes in one size, which is pretty unfortunate, but the size in which it comes is very convenient. Verdict: So should you buy the Rei Co-op Flash 22 Day Pack? Yes, you should

REI Co-op Flash 22 Daypack Review: Watch Before You Buy!

 but I had to move on last year I threw hiked to the Appalachian Trail and at trail days I received a free pack from Gregory and this was at a lot of thru-hikers got them. This is one of their free giveaways and honestly perfect slack pack and that's primarily why they used it for on trails. Since then, I've kind of used it as my day pack since we're in quarantine and the staying home orders are still in place. Haven't been doing a ton of hiking so this has kind of served me as just a multi-purpose stuff sack

 really. as you can see, it doesn't have any outside pockets, so getting anything in and out of here is very difficult. There's no hip belt and that was really my chief complaint about this style pack was that I really enjoy putting things on the outside of my pack including my water bottles for easy access every time I want to drink or snack I would have to take the pack off, open it up, take the stuff out, etc etc. and that got tiresome

 New to this version, the pockets are tighter, they are taller, and they will prevent your water bottle from falling out which is exactly why I wanted a new pack. So for a little demonstration, I've brought my smart water bottle with my solar squeeze on top of it. now to show you what I'm talking about, I'm going to demonstrate what this bottle look like on my old REI So on my old REI pack, the side pocket wasn't very deep, it wasn't very secure, it wasn't very tight, and although on the side of the bag with the bottle with my Sawyer squeeze on it, I was able to cinch this down and secure it to the pack and it would never fall out. On the other side where my other bottle was, it didn't have a Sawyer squeeze on it

 It's definitely something that's right up my alley. So I'm super excited about it. I'm not going to talk a ton about the features of this pack today because I plan on doing an in-depth video about this pack and what? I pack for my date hikes, so stick around for that video. but today I really just wanted to focus on a couple of the key things that I was super excited about and why I purchased this pack

REI Flash 22 Pack | New Gear!

For flights, as “personal item” stowed under seat in front in economy, this has a better volume and extra useful features like the flap lid and exterior mesh pockets compared with the Flash 18...but the Flash 18 is a lot narrower and I can stick a foot on either side with the Flash 18 but not the Flash 22, which tends to hog all the under seat space

More space and features than Flash 18 but wider

THis is a great little backpack. Only giving it 4 stars because the zipper didn't work very smoothly. Otherwise, no complaints!

Handy, durable but a little difficult to zip/unzip
