The Patagonia 15 Litre Arbor Day Pack is a simple top-loader with modern updates—a padded laptop sleeve and a zippered front pocket for everyday necessities.
This is your everyday, everywhere pack. Use it to hold all of your daily necessities—wallet, phone, electronics, keys, fresh fruit from the market, lip balm … you get the idea. The simple top-loading design provides fast access to whatever you need to carry, whether you’re commuting through town or traveling across multiple time. The main compartment holds a rain shell, lunch, your books and a tablet. A raised, padded sleeve fits most 15" laptops and doubles as an insulated hydration reservoir when you hit the trails. A zippered pocket on the front panel holds your boarding pass and passport. The padded Human Curve shoulder straps provide all-day, ergonomic comfort for cruising through town or hiking through open country. A top-mounted, reinforced haul handle allows you to carry the Arbor in your hand, tote-style. Made from all-recycled fabrics—a durable 600-denier 100% recycled and solution-dyed polyester shell with a lining of 200-denier 100% recycled polyester. Both fabrics have a polyurethane coating and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish.

Water Resistant
DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.Â
Recycled Polyester
In 1993, Patagonia adopted fleece into their product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. They were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people’s health.
Today, Patagonia are able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. They now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including their own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.
