Atom Daypack 24L – Compact, Tech-Savvy, Adventure-Ready
The Patagonia Atom Daypack 24L packs surprising versatility into a compact frame. Tailored for shorter torsos and smaller builds, it’s the backpack that doesn’t make you choose between work and play. Slip in your laptop for class, load a hydration bladder for the trail, or keep it light for a flight — all in a 100% recycled polyester shell with PFC-free DWR that stands up to weather, wear, and time. Crafted in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, it blends performance with purpose.
Who is it for?
Whether you’re a student hauling books, a cyclist weaving through traffic, or a traveler catching a weekend flight, the Atom Daypack 24L adapts to your rhythm. Compact and cabin-friendly, it’s perfect for minimalist movers who want one pack to cover campus, commute, and adventure.


Why It Stands Out
- 💻 Built for modern life: a removable padded sleeve keeps your 13" laptop safe — plus room for chargers and small tech.
- 💦 Weather won’t stop you: recycled ripstop fabric with PU coating and PFC-free DWR shrugs off surprise showers.
- 🌬️ All-day comfort: ventilated back panel + mesh straps = no sticky commutes, no sweaty trail climbs.
- 🚴 Ready to move: short 15" torso fit, dual water-bottle pockets, hydration hanger, and even a bike-light clip for night rides.
- 🌱 Gear you can feel good about: bluesign® approved fabrics, Fair Trade Certified™ sewing, and Patagonia’s Ironclad Guarantee.
Why You’ll Love It
- Switches seamlessly from laptop bag to trail buddy without missing a beat
- Compact fit designed for shorter torsos and agile movement
- Hydration-ready — because hikes, rides, and hot days demand it
- Cabin-sized — works as a personal item backpack on most airlines
The Atom Daypack 24L isn’t just another small backpack — it’s your do-it-all sidekick. City streets, campus hallways, mountain switchbacks, or airport gates: it adapts to wherever life pulls you. Light enough to disappear on your shoulders, smart enough to keep your tech and essentials exactly where you need them.

FAQ
Does it fit a laptop?
Yes — the removable sleeve comfortably fits laptops up to 13". It’s padded, protective, and even has an extra pocket for chargers and pens, so you won’t be fishing around for cables.
Is it good for hiking?
Absolutely. With its breathable back panel, hydration hanger, and dual bottle pockets, it feels just as natural on a forest trail as it does on your commute. Think of it as a city pack with a secret outdoor side.
Does it fit smaller frames?
Yes. With its 15" torso length, the Atom Daypack 24L is designed for shorter bodies or anyone who finds standard packs a bit too tall. It sits snug, feels agile, and moves with you instead of against you.
Is it sustainable?
Definitely. It’s made with 100% recycled polyester, sewn in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, and uses bluesign® approved fabrics. In short: gear that respects both the planet and the people who make it.
Can I use it as a personal item on flights?
Yes. At just 41 cm tall, it slides easily under most airline seats, making it an ideal personal item for short trips or minimalist travel. Toss in your essentials, breeze through boarding, and skip the overhead bin drama.
