Great deal right now on the beloved Patagonia MLC. I've discussed this bag on PatagoniaCommunity a couple of times--it's a Patagonia favorite. Down from the original $175 price tag, REI Outlet is offering it for $99.93. But wait, there's more! REI Outlet also has a 20% off coupon for one item from its outlet store. That would bring the price of the MLC down to about $80. That's not bad at all folks.Interestingly, there's an updated version of the Patagonia MLC that's part of the fall collection over at Patagonia.com. It's now being sold for $160. Interested to hear from anyone who has either the old or new version.
Following your advice, I bought the MLC from REI....what a great bag! I then somehow lost it (yes, full of clothes, mail, etc. Don't ask how, I am still scratching my head over this) and replaced it with the newer version. While it still has the excellent capacity, I am not a fan of some of the changes (half-committed laptop compartment, less accessible front pocket). Oh heck, its still a great bag!
ReplyDeleteBummer you lost it. Sounds like it functioned well for you though. I'm going on a week-long trip in the spring and thought about getting an MLC but figured I might need more room. It seems like Patagonia moved on to a newer version of the bag pretty quickly. I wonder if people weren't happy with the previous design. Sounds like you were though! Thanks for visiting and commenting.
