The Palo 20L Backpack stands strong through every commute
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I hauled the Palo 20L Backpack through a week of daily commutes and dropped it more than once on concrete without a scuff to show for it. The vented back panel kept me from overheating on warmer days, and the pack stood upright on its own every time I set it down."
Daily commutes wear down gear in ways a single big trip never does, and the YETI Palo 20L Backpack is built for that kind of relentless everyday use. We've hauled it through packed subway cars and dropped it on sidewalks without a second thought, the Hitra Weave exterior shrugging off scrapes that would leave marks on a lesser bag.
The TPU coated GroundControl base keeps the pack standing upright the moment you set it down, so there's no scrambling to keep it from tipping over on a crowded platform. A stretch woven back panel with a vented channel lets air move between the pack and your back on warmer days, and heavy duty YKK zippers open smoothly no matter how many times a day you're in and out of the bag.
