Patagonia · Refugio Daypack 26L
Refugio Daypack 26L: the Patagonia backpack for Monday at the office and Saturday on the trail.
The Refugio Daypack 26L is a 26-litre Patagonia backpack cut for a full day: a padded sleeve for a 15-inch laptop, a breathable back ready for a hydration reservoir, a bottle on each side. On Monday morning it rides to the office by bike; on Saturday it climbs to the pass with the picnic. Refugio is Patagonia's classic everyday series.

Laptop against your back on Monday, bottle at your side on Saturday.


What fits inside
26L
A full day, packed before you leave.
The main compartment has its own internal pockets. On the front, the zipped pocket opens onto a mesh pocket and pen slots: your phone, notebooks and afternoon snack bar each have their place.
- A 15-inch laptop in its sleeve, against your back
- Phone, notebooks and pens in the front pocket
- A bottle on each side, jacket and lunch in the main compartment
Laptop
A 15-inch laptop backpack, with the sleeve against your back.
The padded sleeve holds the laptop at the back of the main compartment, against your back. In front of it, a zipped pocket and a mesh pocket keep the charger and cables separate.
15 inches
Padded sleeve for laptops up to 15 inches.







Colours
Six colours, from office black to burgundy.
Blue Sage
A pale grey-green, black base and bright orange straps: easy to spot from the far end of a station platform.
Black
Black from base to straps: it disappears against a dark coat, in a meeting or on the metro.
Smolder Blue
A slate blue with a darker base: almost black in the evening, softer than black in daylight.
Weathered Stone
A pale sand, olive base and blue-grey straps: the colour of a dry path in summer.
Berry Fig
A ripe-fig burgundy with black straps: the boldest colour in the series, over a striped jumper or a navy coat.
May Grey
A grey leaning towards mauve, royal blue buckles: understated from a distance, livelier up close.
The details
On Saturday: what you need outdoors.



Will it fit?
48 cm
back length, the same on the Refugio 26L, 30L and 32L
The "Refugio Fit": a 48 cm (19 in) back length, one size that fits most adults. For a shorter back, the Atom Tote Pack 20L is cut at 43 cm. No hip belt: all the weight stays on your shoulders.
Measure your back before you choose.
Measure your back from your C7 vertebra (the bony bump at the base of your neck) down your spine to the top of your hip bones, and compare with the length shown.
Too short or too long? You have 30 days to send it back.

In the rain
Light rain on the way to the office.
Light rain
Water-repellent fabric
PU coating and a durable water repellent (DWR) finish: water beads up, then eventually gets through at the seams and zips.
This bag
Shower
Laminated fabric
Fabric covered with a TPU film (a flexible plastic) that stands up to the weather. The seams aren't taped.
Proper rain
Rain cover
A removable cover goes over the whole bag. Without it, the coated fabric eventually lets water through.
For a full day in the rain, use a rain cover or a dry bag inside: it isn't waterproof.

Eiken's take
- Why we chose it
- The right size for a full day: compact enough for the bike and the metro, well equipped enough for a trail, with a reservoir port and two bottle pockets.
- Worth knowing
- The sleeve takes 15 inches at most: it isn't designed for a 16-inch laptop.
- Who it's for
- Anyone who cycles or takes the metro to the office with a 15-inch laptop, and heads out walking on Saturday with the same pack.

Questions
What are the dimensions and weight of the Refugio 26L?
46 × 30 × 19 cm (height, width, depth) and 666 g empty, with a padded sleeve for a 15-inch laptop.
Is the Refugio 26L waterproof?
It's water-repellent, not waterproof: the coated, treated fabric makes light rain bead up. For a full day in the rain, take a rain cover.
Does the Refugio 26L fit in the cabin on easyJet, Ryanair or Air France?
As a cabin bag, yes: 46 × 30 × 19 cm fits within Ryanair's 55 × 40 × 20 cm (Priority), Air France's 55 × 35 × 25 cm and easyJet's 56 × 45 × 25 cm. As a free under-seat bag, no: at 46 cm high it's 1 cm over easyJet's 45 × 36 × 20 cm and 6 cm over the 40 × 30 cm of Ryanair and Air France. Size limits checked in October 2026: check your airline before you fly.
Is the Refugio 26L comfortable when loaded?
For a day, yes: breathable mesh back panel and shoulder straps, a sternum strap. But it has no hip belt, so all the weight stays on your shoulders; to carry a heavy load for hours, the Terravia Pack 28L has a hip belt.
