Our take on the Herschel Supply Co. Retreat Papaya Backpack

The Herschel Supply Co. Retreat is a 23-liter backpack with a flap and drawstring closure, styled after a vintage rucksack. It carries a laptop, a few books and a day's layers, and the drawstring top lets it stuff past its rated capacity. The Papaya colorway is a bright solid orange. It is a fashion-leaning daypack rather than a technical hiking pack.

Questions and answers

Is the Herschel Retreat good for a laptop?
Yes. It has a padded laptop sleeve that fits most 15-inch laptops, and the 23-liter body leaves room for a charger and a notebook.
How does the Retreat compare to the Herschel Little America?
The Little America is larger, around 25 liters, with a similar flap-and-drawstring design and a mountaineering look. The Retreat is a bit smaller and simpler, which suits lighter daily carry.
Is 23 liters enough for a day pack?
For commuting, class or a day out, yes. It holds a laptop, a layer, lunch and small items. It is too small for multi-day travel or bulky gym gear.
Does the drawstring closure keep rain out?
The flap over the drawstring sheds light rain well. The fabric is not waterproof, so pack electronics in a sleeve or dry bag for heavy rain.
What colors does the Retreat come in?
Herschel sells the Retreat in many seasonal colorways, including the solid Papaya orange. Availability varies by store and season.
When is the Retreat cheapest?
Back-to-school season and end-of-season clearances are when Herschel and retailers discount it most. Watch for markdowns on older colorways like Papaya.
