Patagonia Violeta 25L Black (Spring 2013)

The Violeta goes most anywhere with minimal fuss, just like a little black dress. Designed specifically for women, this sleek, single-compartment backpack has a main compartment that holds lunch, papers, books and a sweater. Stash pockets inside let you cache small items, and a padded laptop sleeve cradles most 15-inch or smaller laptops off the ground. Slip a hydration reservoir (not included) into the computer sleeve and route the tube through a built-in port when you're off for a day hike. A zippered, brushed tricot-lined top pocket holds your audio device or sunglasses, and the exterior stash pocket keeps other items handy. An internal organizer contains the small stuff, a lanyard secures your keys, and dual stretch-woven pockets carry water bottles. Air Flow mesh shoulder straps with ergonomic shaping make carrying more comfortable in warm weather. Made from a tough yet supple 420-denier nylon oxford plain weave with 840-denier ballistics nylon reinforcements. The lining is 200-denier polyester. All fabrics have a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish.
