24-litre backpack that converts to a tote

Convertible tote bag/backpacks are all the rage these days, but the problem with most of them is that theyre neither fish nor fowl too fiddly to be a useful tote and not comfortable enough on the back to be a decent pack. Patagonia’s Terravia Tote Pack is an entirely different beast, with a padded back panel, cushioned airmesh straps and a sternum strap like youd find on a proper hiking backpack. Tuck the straps away to make a versatile tote, with 24 litres of space for your shopping or work gear, plus a reinforced base. There’s a main compartment with a cinch closure (plus clips to expand the volume when needed), a zipped internal pocket, a hidden back pocket with Velcro closure, and a zipped external pocket with key clip. Two roomy stretch-mesh side pockets will easily swallow your water bottle or reusable coffee mug, and when you’re done with it, the whole thing packs down into its own pocket.

• Patagonia is the brand that other gear companies want to be when they grow up. In 2022, the company’s founder, Yvon Chouinard, famously gave the company to the planet. Its now jointly controlled by a charitable trust and a not-for-profit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, and all post-operating profits go to environmental causes.

  But in some ways thats the tip of the (melting) iceberg. For nearly half a century, Patagonia has been an experiment in responsible business. From the farms that grow their cotton to the factories that make their goods and everything in-between, theyve tried incredibly hard to set the gold standard in terms of ethics, transparency and social responsibility. Not only that, but their gear is made to last to take hard use and repairs, and to maintain its performance through thick and thin.

  All of which is even more extraordinary when you consider that Yvon Chouinard started out blacksmithing climbing gear for his mates in his parents’ backyard, using a forge and anvil that he bought from a junkyard.

  At WildBounds we dont usually tend to go for the big-name brands, but this was one we simply couldnt resist. Quite apart from their amazing ethical and environmental credentials, they just make great gear. Weve used it and loved it for years, and you will too.
