Why We Love This Deal
Patagonia’s beloved Black Hole backpacks are renowned the world over for their durability and carrying capacity, but they're hardly the only option in the outdoor brand's arsenal. Those who want a more natural pack, something mostly made of thick, organic cotton, will prefer something from the crunchier, less technical Fieldsmith collection, and now, you can score one for more than half off.
The Patagonia Fieldsmith Roll-Top 32L Pack is just $74 right now, a 51% discount from its normal $149 price tag. This price is good on the Robin Brown colorway only. Three different colors of the 28-liter pack (that closes with a lid and side-release buckles instead of a roll) and one of the 24-liter packs (that closes with a cinch top and has mini haul handles) are also 51% off. The 5-liter hip pack is just $35.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Materials: 100% Organic cotton canvas with PU coating, 70-denier recycled nylon ripstop lining with PU back coating, 200-denier recycled polyester plain weave lining with PU coating, 100% recycled polyester airmesh back panel, and shoulder straps
- Closure: Roll-top closure with a side-release buckle
- Organization: Top pocket for small items, front pocket, two stretch side pockets, lash points for clipping on additional gear

The bulk of this bag is organic cotton canvas, but synthetics are deployed for specific reasons throughout, from the polyurethane coating for waterproofing to polyester mesh for more airflow through the back panel. The roll-top closure makes this bag more stuffable than those with other types of closures, and there are ample pockets, including a laptop sleeve with side access that cleverly can only hold a hydration bladder.

What Reviewers Are Saying
This backpack only has three ratings from shoppers, but all are five stars. One reviewer who works in the ski industry called it a “great backpack” that works well for travel and commuting, with the roll-top a particularly useful feature.
Another “more than satisfied” customer wrote that this bag is their daily driver for life as a graduate student. “I have walked across campus in fairly heavy rain and the inside of my bag was perfectly dry,” they wrote, and the roll-top allows them to “roll it up completely or just flip it over for quick access,” a benefit that other types of closures can’t offer.
The Patagonia Fieldsmith Roll-Top 32L Pack combines organic cotton with purpose-driven synthetics in a roll-top bag that’s versatile, waterproof, and eminently usable. It’s worth paying full price for, so the chance to pay less than half is one that anyone who needs a backpack (and lots of us who just want one) should not miss.
