Patagonia Atacama Pack
A double-sectioned daypack, the Patagonia Atacama Pack was built to carry wet stuff - like a wetsuit or beach gear. A waterproof barrier separates its outside compartment from the inside, and comes with mesh for drainage and ventilation. The large space includes plenty of organizational options for pens, electronics, keys and phone, along with a padded sleeve that's raised to protect up to a 17-inch laptop. The sleeve also holds a hydration reservoir (handy in desert environments) and comes equipped with a tube port. Adjustable webbing straps take on a skateboard or bulky clothing, and two stretch pockets keep water bottles at your side. Airflow mesh on the shoulder straps and back panel prevent overheating, compression straps stabilize the load, and the sternum strap has a built-in emergency whistle. Made from 420-denier 100% nylon oxford plain weave with an 840-denier 100% ballistics nylon bottom. The lining is 200-denier 100% polyester. All fabrics have a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish.

Great daypack!
We live in Europe and find that travel with our two year old is made easier with this pack. This functions very well to add all of our necessities and a computer for a trip into town. The extra straps are nice to have for anything that can't fit in like a jacket. The storage areas are thoughtful and convenient. The fit is ergonomic and very comfortable. Would highly recommend this great pack!

Useful for both serious activities and daily use
Having been impressed with the first one I own, I purchased another one for my wife. As I noticed versatile functionality of the backpack for any activities imaginable, the pack serves for anybody who needs to carry something comfortably and efficiently. I use the pack for fishing trip and have learned the usefulness of the area for wet clothes or items with some water such as waders, rain jacket etc. As ventilation works, the area does not hold any odor with something wet.

great in city and on mountain
I had to sacrifice cool colors so that I can bring the Atacama to business dinners; otherwise I love this pack. Perfect for my very light laptop,and heavy manuals; and the compartment being suspended off the bottom of the pack has already saved the computer from bumps. Solidly built, I don't worry about slinging it around (I'm a little rough on my gear). I can't vouch for durability yet because I haven't had it very long. It survived a couple of very hot days in the city, with laptop, and a couple of hikes without laptop. It's comfortable, though to make it really work on my shoulders I need to use the chest strap (narrow shoulders, short torso 5'3"). I didn't use that strap in the city, and it was fine; but it was better with it when I was hiking. Due to warnings about no sealable change pocket, I throw my own in and leave it there. Haven't tried the wet pouch yet, but I'm about to, and am confident it's going to be a better solution than just having wet things stuffed inside my old pack and having to leave the pack open to air dry!
