I absolutely love this pack for my 3 day adventures.

Perfect back pack for school. So many zippered pockets.

So I got it, but I had it in mind to use for traveling. It has a lot of cool compartments, but they’re so small that it’s hard to fit much in there for a long trip, especially when you’re trying to pack things in bulk. I think it’s great for daily use, like carrying a laptop, daily trips, going to school or work, or maybe even the gym, but not for packing a lot of clothes and other stuff for a long trip. So, it wasn’t really what I needed. I already submitted the return, and I got the Allpa 35 instead, which I think is much better for what I was looking for.

I’m rather picky when it comes to backpacks and Cotopaxi has never led me wrong! The Mente 32L daypack is roomy, functional with plenty of pockets, and secure (having its own laptop sleeve as well). Straps are comfortable and they adjust well. Water bottle holders are also deeper than the average backpack, which is perfection, because I hate when your bottle just flops out. Overall, love it!

This bag has quickly become my go-to daypack. The size is generous without feeling bulky, and I really appreciate how organized the interior is — everything has its place, which makes it easy to grab what I need on the go. The whiskey colorway is gorgeous in person, definitely a standout. It's also impressively lightweight and comfortable to wear, even on longer days out. My only gripe is that there's no dedicated spot to tuck away the waist straps when I'm not using them — they tend to dangle and get in the way. A small stash pocket or elastic loop for them would make this bag pretty much perfect. Overall, still a fantastic daypack that I'd recommend.

A perfect Day Pack for overseas travel. Perfect size with large capacity and deep water bottle pockets.

No complaints! I recently bought this for my trip to Bryce Canyon and Zion, and it's been perfect for hiking and traveling. The pockets are great, and the shoulder straps are comfortable.

This pack was perfect for a 3 day trip :) I used it as my carry on and was able to walk around the airport with it with ease.

Had a smaller backpack for work (the abierto) and wanted something bigger for travel. This works great. Basically the perfect size for under seat in front of you on the plane.

Its literally perfect. I travel a lot and this time really needed space because international flights have so many limits, and I was surprised how much I could fit into this bag without trouble. I also am on a school campus everyday. The straps are such that I actually don't feel strain on my shoulders from carrying books and a laptop all day. Such a perfect bag I'm really glad I made this purchase!

The backpack is well made. Lots of pockets and places to put my stuff. Alas the straps dig into my neck bc they are too close together on the top. I won't be bringing this on my hiking trip. Sad.

I had been searching for the perfect backpack for me for years actually until I stumbled across this backpack in the Cotopaxi store. It fit all my needs with being lightweight, supportive, having ample storage compartments, expandable side pockets for my large water bottle. I think I am most surprised by how lightweight and supportive it is at the same time. I will definitely look back at Cotopaxi for my next backpack.

I’m taking this on my next cruise as my carry-on. I’ll have everything I need in there for the first day and plus some it’s beautiful. It’s durable. It’s lightweight and I’m excited to have it. It’s not my first bag that I’ve bought from you. I’ve loved them all.

I love the color it’s a beautiful purple-blue that really stands out. The size works well for me as a school bag it fits my laptop perfectly and holds my books without an issue. I upgraded from an old Jansport that had definitely seen better days, and this feels like a big step up. The straps are very comfortable, and the back padding makes it easy to carry around all day. My only downside is that it’s not very wide from front to back, so you can’t pack as much as you might expect. It comfortably fits two textbooks and a sweatshirt, but anything more starts to feel like it’s pushing the limits. That said, it feels very durable and high-quality overall great for everyday use if you don’t need to carry a ton.
