You don’t need to spend long in Yeti Nation before you hear the motto Built for the Wild.

That said, the brand’s latest release thrives a little closer to home.

Designed for urban pursuits, including as quick coffee runs, office commutes or routine trips to the pediatrician, the Camino Zip Carryall Tote Bag is Yeti’s followup to its ultrapopular gear hauler first released in 2018.

It carries the same the DNA that made the original Camino not only a viral sensation on social media but one of the most beloved items internally among Yeti staff.

That means it boasts a puncture-resistant, easy-to-clean ThickSkin shell exterior and rigid EVA-molded base that stands upright on the ground. There’s also the HitchPoint grid for add-ons like the SideKick dry bag.

But this is more than a Camino with a two-way zippered top.

Available in two sizes new to the Camino lineup, 12L and 18L, the bag comes in slightly svelter dimensions optimized for tight spaces or simply extended carry over one’s shoulder.

It also features a reworked interior:

In addition to a zippered pocket for small essentials, there’s now a single bottle holster (the OG Camino had two) and a tech sleeve.
