Refugito 12L Day Pack - Kids'

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve outfitted plenty of young adventurers with this pack, and it consistently fits them well without feeling oversized. The simple drawcord entry really helps kids access their gear independently, and the cushioned back panel keeps them comfortable through full days outside."

We reach for the Refugito Daypack 12L when the young explorers in our lives need a pack that keeps up with their curiosity. Patagonia designs it specifically for children, with a shorter back panel and narrower profile that feel natural on smaller frames. Built from recycled materials and shaped for active days, it supports everything from schoolyard wanderings to trail discoveries.

We appreciate how easily kids can manage the drawcord opening on their own, making it simple for them to grab layers or snacks without assistance. The cushioned back panel keeps the load comfortable, oversized side pockets hold bottles or treasures they collect along the way, and the interior pocket helps keep essentials from disappearing into the depths. It’s a straightforward companion that encourages independence and invites adventure.
