It’s our opinion that a woman can never have too many bags, purses, satchels, totes (you get the idea). This is especially true when you can get three for the price of one. The Atom will be your ideal companion whether you’re spending your day biking around the downtown, lugging books across campus or stowing it below your seat as you fly to your next destination. This 3-point sling pack lets you decide what it will be and how you will use it. That’s why we love it. But there’s more.
Location. Location. Location: They say it’s everything, right? With the Atom, you’ll get hands free comfort with the reassurance that this pack won’t slip or slide from its intended locale – your back, of course. Its teardrop shape positions the load behind your shoulder, and there it will remain until you need the goods. Then, simply spin it around to the front and take what you need.
Convinced yet?
The Atom comes complete with a zippered main pocket with internal zippered mesh and stretch woven pockets; and a handy zippered pocket strap (fully-lined) keeps your essentials protected. You’ll stay cool with the pack’s breathable, moisture-moving 3-D spacer mesh that pads the shoulder strap and back panel. Habit of getting caught in the rain? Patagonia treats the Atom with a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish – no need to fret over a little water.
So, whether your closet holds more purses than shoes, or you’re a one-pack kind of gal, we’re pretty sure you’ll fall for the Atom.
Patagonia’s new Down With It Vest is the perfect little addition to your fall wardrobe. We love this versatile number because autumn can be tricky – and downright deceiving at times – when you’re getting dressed to go to work, for a hike or for running errands around town. The sun’s out, but the air might have that October morning bite to it. Let’s face it: When sweet old Mother Nature’s in transition, so tends to be your closet. This vest is the ideal layer when it’s too warm for that fall jacket, but too cool for just a long sleeve. Toss it in the passenger seat or in your bike basket as a back up in case you find yourself chilled; or wear it and then shed it after you’ve worked up some self-generated heat.
Shall we go on?
The slim fit is sure to flatter, and with 600-fill-power premium European goose-down insulation, you’ll warm up in no time after that frigid Midwest surf session. Its removable hood adjusts with two draw cords and is lined with an oh-so-plush fleece – who could say no to that? Store your essentials while warming your precious fingers in the two zippered on-seam hand warmers. And we can’t deny our love for this vest’s eco-friendly shell, made from all-recycling polyester. Choose classic Black, or the subtle, sophisticated plaid in either Raven or Goji Berry.
Hood or no hood, plaid or not: If you’re not down with this vest, then you need to be.
