Patagonia has teamed up with Weekend Sherpa to talk about initiatives they support, activities they love, and clothes they dig.



Short on time but long overdue for a last-minute summer escape? Set your "out-of-office" reply, and head out on an overnighter with Patagonia's versatile MLC Bag. It's a water-resistant, premium nylon bag that easily holds a laptop, a change of clothes, and your trusted toiletries. As your adventure begins, the MLC morphs into a sturdy backpack, and its reflective nylon gives excellent visibility for day and night treks. Plus, thanks to its ergonomic tuck-away straps, the MLC converts to a more businesslike form when you charge into the office after your great escape.

The MLC Bag is available at these stores:

Patagonia San Francisco, 770 North Point St., San Francisco; 415-771-2050.
Patagonia Palo Alto, 525 Alma St., Palo Alto; 650-329-8556.
