YETI has expanded its increasingly impressive bag collection with the launch of the Palo Active Backpack, a new everyday carry pack that swaps expedition-ready credentials for a lighter, more versatile design.
Available in 20-, 26- and 32-litre capacities, the Palo is offered in Black, Royal Blue and a seasonal Grasshopper colourway.
While it sits alongside existing models such as the YETI Ranchero , the new backpack introduces a new approach that prioritises comfort and accessibility without abandoning the rugged durability YETI is known for.

It features a RipZip opening that allows the front of the pack to unzip wide for a clear view of everything inside.
It's a design that will already be familiar to fans of the Ranchero (and Mystery Ranch), making it far easier to grab laptops, gym kit, or everyday essentials than traditional top-loading backpacks .
Built for everyday adventures
The Palo is made from a new weather- and abrasion-resistant Lightwork Nylon fabric that helps reduce weight while maintaining durability.
A water-resistant GroundControl base allows the bag to stand upright when placed on the floor, while compression-moulded back padding, padded shoulder straps and load lifters are designed to keep it comfortable throughout the day.

Every Palo features a dedicated laptop sleeve capable of holding devices up to 13 inches, multiple internal mesh pockets, a zipped lid pocket and stretch-woven bottle holders sized for the brand's Rambler bottles.
The 20-litre model also includes a dedicated shoe compartment, an excellent feature for those who want to use the backpack as a gym bag .
The launch continues YETI's steady expansion beyond coolers and drinkware into premium everyday carry.
While the Ranchero remains the more rugged option, the Palo looks to broaden the range with a cleaner, lighter backpack designed for everything from morning commutes to evening workouts.
Pricing starts at £250 / $275 for the 20L model, rising to £280 / $300 for the 26L version and £300 / $325 for the 32L pack.
All three are available now directly from YETI .
