Why do we like this deal?
I was recently out on the third day of a steady rain in “sunny” Florida, which reminded me 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 it wasn’t enough to keep my gear safe from the rain. In such situations, it pays to have a weather-appropriate backpack, and that’s why this Patagonia bag, which is now up to 50% off, is a great pickup if you travel or commute.
The 32-liter Patagonia Fieldsmith Roll-Top Pack is now on sale for as low as $74 during REI’s 4th of July Deals event. Users often use it as a commuter backpack, while others undoubtedly use it as a carry-on for day hikes, short trips, and even trips to Disney attractions due to its spacious interior and ready-for-anything design.

What shoppers need to know
- Capacity: 32L
- Color Options: at 4 different prices
- Bins: 4 (including laptop compartment) + main
- water resistant?: Yes
- Main Ingredients: Cotton, Ripstop Nylon, Polyester
- Best use case: Traveling, hiking, and any other situation where a sudden drizzle can ruin your day.
The first thing to know about this backpack is that it is actually quite spacious, with a capacity of 32-litres across its many compartments. For comparison, Osprey’s best-selling travel pack (currently $68) has a 22-liter capacity. You will be able to get whatever you want here.
Its materials are also quite premium, with a blend of heavy cotton, ripstop nylon, and high-density polyester creating a protective layer that won’t budge. The whole thing is water resistant with a roll top for added protection and an easily accessible water bottle pouch for hydration without the need to open your pack.
One thing we like about this deal from REI is that there are plenty of color options available, with two priced at $74 and two priced at $84. This is much better than the single sale option available from Patagonia Direct.
