Description

The DayPack15 rePETe™ is Chico Bag's answer to the overwhelming number of requests to create a RePETe Day Pack version for women.

The DayPack15 shares the same basic design philosophy as the larger DayPack 20 rePETe™, but is designed to complement a more feminine lifestyle.
The DayPack15 features subtle curves and is smaller than the DayPack20.
Made of 95% recycled content and available in four new colors, the DayPack15 is designed for the fashion conscious, eco-friendly traveler or commuter.
The new Day Pack 15 stuffs down into a small integrated pouch that turns into an interior pocket when the pack is open.
Its compact size makes the DayPack15 ideal for throwing in your suitcase or camping gear for day hikes or shopping trips.
The DayPack15 has loops to attach our new sternum strap accessory (sold separately) for added support and stabilization.

Colors:
Amethyst
Sapphire
Meadow
Smoke

Uses:
Chico Bag's lightweight DayPack 15 is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, urban shoppers committed to the environment, and those of us dedicated to commuting by bicycle and reducing our carbon footprint.

Testing Results:

We have taken this light-weight pack on several day hikes (2-6 miles) up rugged mountain trails and have run with them for several miles as well. They have preformed very well and are surprisingly comfortable and stable for how light weight they are. Highly recommend for day hikes.

Average Rating

	Great idea
	I love that this bag is recycled and I love that it's compact and convenient. I don't love that some of the stitching is loose at the seams after one day of use. I'm hoping it's a minor issue; time will tell.

	Functional
	Great pack. Holds a lot of items. The pouch that the pack folds into hangs inside the pack when opened and can be zippered shut to protect small items. Also got the sternum strap to hold pack more securely on your shoulders when carrying heavier items. Surprisingly it will fold into the pouch along with the pack which eliminates the chance of misplacing it.
