Patagonia’s Back Hole ($129) takes the same bomber fabric used in their mammoth duffle bags—14.7-ounce, 1,200-denier poly with a TPU laminate and a DWR finish—and has re-imagined it into a more urban- and travel-friendly design. Access the cavernous 25-liter main storage pocket via a bucket-style opening, and enjoy a handful of other features (mesh pockets, a key clip, a padded laptop sleeve) that speaks to its more refined urban functionality. You also get daisy chain lash points to accessorize as you desire, a nice zippered top pocket, and an urbane fashion-forward aesthetic.
