Patagonia's Atom Sling is what we like to call a Goldilocks bag – not too big, not too small; perfect for cycling around town, quick hikes or days when you just need the essentials. The 8-litre capacity is split into two main compartments with an internal divider to keep things organised. There's a zipped pocket on the shoulder strap itself (perfect for phone or keys), a zipped front pocket for quick-access items, and tuck-away front straps for lashing on a yoga mat or a light jacket. The asymmetrical harness keeps the weight close to your body, which makes it comfortable even when it's loaded up. When you need to dig something out, just swing it around to the front, easy as. It’s made from 100% recycled polyester with a PFC-free durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to keep the drizzle off.

| Lining | 3-oz 200-denier 100% recycled polyester plain weave with PU coating |
| Back Panel & Sling Strap | 8-oz 100% recycled polyester airmesh |
| Strap Pocket | 7.1-oz 72% recycled nylon / 28% elastane power mesh |
| Webbing | 100% recycled nylon |
Patagonia is the brand that other gear companies want to be when they grow up. In 2022, the company's founder, Yvon Chouinard, famously gave the company to the planet. It’s now jointly controlled by a charitable trust and a not-for-profit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, and all post-operating profits go to environmental causes.
But in some ways that’s the tip of the (melting) iceberg. For nearly half a century, Patagonia has been an experiment in responsible business. From the farms that grow their cotton to the factories that make their goods and everything in-between, they’ve tried incredibly hard to set the gold standard in terms of ethics, transparency and social responsibility. Not only that, but their gear is made to last – to take hard use and repairs, and to maintain its performance through thick and thin.
All of which is even more extraordinary when you consider that Yvon Chouinard started out blacksmithing climbing gear for his mates in his parents' backyard, using a forge and anvil that he bought from a junkyard.
At WildBounds we don’t usually tend to go for the big-name brands, but this was one we simply couldn’t resist. Quite apart from their amazing ethical and environmental credentials, they just make great gear. We’ve used it and loved it for years, and you will too.
