GREAT backpack. perfect size for my 7 and 9 year olds. great pockets and organization

5 HEbrecht
We purchased a loop backpack when our son was in pre- K, after the character backpack we originally got him, broke within the first few weeks of school. That was 11 years ago, the Sierra backpack held up through daily use, stuffed to the brim! It was a no brainer to replace the old backpack with the same brand. Great quality!

I love this heathergray color. I got it for my daughter and she loves it too. She will use it for school. I love all the space and compartments it has.

Yeti backpack easy it use easy to carry many features many colors good design good quality environment friendly people friendly and high quality

5 Jknottek
I ’ ve been really impressed with this YETI backpack. The build quality is outstanding — it feels extremely durable and made to last. The zippers are heavy- duty, the materials are rugged, and it ’s comfortable to wear even when it ’s fully loaded. It has plenty of room without feeling bulky, and the pockets make it easy to keep everything organized. Whether I ’ m using it for work, travel, or day trips, it ’s performed flawlessly. It ’s definitely more expensive than some backpacks, but the quality and durability make it well worth the investment. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a backpack that can handle everyday use and more.

5 Deez
Great overall cooler, I use it for my jet ski. It fits in the front without issues. Keeps everything cold in the key largo heat. Two birdies up to everything else!

5 Daveyo
Nicest backpack I 've ever owned. Lots of small, thoughtful touches( a clip and lanyard for keys, magnetic rests for zippers). Lots of pockets- maybe even too many but I have a hard time citing that as a complaint. A couple of little nits but generally an excellent very practical and stylish bag.

5 Newyorkcitygirlie
I love this backpack! Has pockets in all the right places. Perfect for work and travel

5 Liz
I plan on using it as my personal item rather than a purse for an upcoming trip. I like the idea of being able to carry my kindle, neckrest, shoes phone and my wallet rather than in my carryon for easy access. The fact that it hooks on to my Away Bigger Carry On is exactly what I was looking for.

5 DW
Really useful, looks very nice and has lots of smart ways to pack things away. Really good detail too, overall very happy with the purchase and would recommend to anyone wanting a commutable backpack.

5 Bambam
Good for work travel and fits easy under the airline seat. The bag could use a couple of more interior pockets with smaller depths. The current pockets( and there are plenty!) all extend to the bottom of the bag. Which means you re reaching all the way down to the bottom of the bag to find stuff. It's a minor inconvenience, but could be avoided.

This pack is the perfect trail companion! I 've gotten to take it out both XC skiing and on some winter hikes and it's the perfect size for an extra layer, snacks, first aid kit, and any other gear you might need on the trail. I love the magnet strip on the water bladder that nicely holds the bladder straw in space when not using it, and easy to drink out of while on the trail. The pockets are well thought out and easily accessible. I do wish the side water bottle pockets were a little larger to fit my nalgene, but definitely not a dealbreaker since it has the integrated bladder.

5 Madwild
As a smaller sized gal, I 've struggled with daypacks feeling too big and bulky. The 18L was my goldilocks and is such a great size for a casual hike or wandering around town! There are not a lot of pockets, but I actually prefer a simple pack. My favorite part of the pack is the chest and hip straps that make the bag easily adjustable.

[ I bought this as an everyday pack. I am not a purse person and with two small kiddos and one on the way this is the perfect bag to carry our daily snacks and water, will also make a great diaper bag come September. I do wish the straps had a little padding for short hikes but otherwise I live out of this bag!

[ Got this bag to replace a Timbuktu Tote as my everyday bag. I like the option to wear it as a backpack and hope to travel with it soon. I feel like things get lost at the bottom since it is more of a tall and skinny shape.

[ I did n't think I needed another bag.... but I was wrong! This bag has blended seamlessly into my life becoming my go to for everything- work, travel, baby bag, etc. It has enough pockets without have too many. The backpack straps are beyond comfortable and I love how all the straps tuck away to create a sleek look. It really is the perfect bag.

Really liked being able to pick color of this backpack rather than be surprised. This is my 3rd size of backpack and it's great to have options. Also have a couple of sling bags, and the big tote. Splurged on some, some as gifts. Bought myself a sweatshirt that I recently used while camping, and love it!

This backpack is great! I ’ m in school right now but applying to tech jobs and this bag fits exactly what I need. The old tropical printed Herschel won ’ t do for the office but this is perfect. At first I thought it was too small but that ’s just because it looks so compact. This sucker holds my laptop, textbooks, notebooks, e reader, and school supplies. I love this thing it is great quality!

5 C. V.
Streamlined appearance yet fits a decent amount of belongings. Water bottle holders are a bit too snug to easily insert a water bottle that ’s larger than the size of a plastic water bottle but that is an OK tradeoff to me in exchange for the streamlined design.

5
Purchased this as an upgrade to my previous Herschel bag, and wanted something that was light and had room for my laptop, a notebook and simple things. This fits snuggly against my pack and is super lightweight. It's a perfect size for my daily commute to the office and prevents me from overstuffing random things into the backpack- even though it has enough compartments to do so! I also love that it's a perfect color match to my luggage so the luggage sleeve works perfectly as a set with my current bag. Great quality, amazing warranty, and something I 'll use for decades!

This backpack is perfect for going to and from the office. It holds a 16 '' MacBook Pro with plenty of small pockets for cords and dongles. The construction feels durable and I expect this to be a bag that lasts for years!

I couldn ’ t get my order placed quick enough! I use my backpack as my carryon& /or personal item when traveling by air,& I ’ m excited to enjoy the ease of using that luggage strap.

I enjoy selecting my own color combinations& have always been able to carefully wash my Cotopaxi backpacks upon getting home to remove all the filth they ’ re exposed to in air travel environments.

This item was described exactly as descripted with the prodrct details. I brought this item for my collage kiddo and she loved it. She said that she could feel the difference in the quality of this bag compared to the other bags she has worn. The comfortability, the size, tge weight, the bag space, and the fit onto and around her body type is a big difference compared to other packs she's worn. Since she is a college student she will be using this item for all activities.

5 andraya E.
This 26l daypack is just what I needed. It has so many storage spots! Very impressed!

5 barbara o.
Since I own several backpacks in different sizes by another outdoor company, I had a hard time justifying yet another pack in another size. Absolutely no regret whatsoever. The pack was comfortable on my back( 5ft2), I carried notebook, ipad, e reader with ease and was able to organize all those other little items one needs on a long flight, As for the colours I chose I received compliments in the airport and funny enough, looks from other young cotopaxi travelers. Maybe people do no expect a senior woman to be traveling with a colorful cotopaxi. comments

5 Isabel G.
I needed to replace a backpack that I loved so much, but the company that I bought it from didn ’ t make it anymore. So I did a lot of research across different companies to find something that could live up to that backpack( and make up for the few gripes I had with it) and I am so happy I chose this one! I travel for work, so I needed something that could hold my laptop and be roomy without getting too heavy, something that I could take to the office or take on a plane. And this fits the bill! The organization is perfect! A large main pocket with a few dividers, and then two extra pockets. I feel like other backpacks on the market are either made of a million pockets or are just one big pocket. This is the perfect middle ground! This is my first Cotopaxi, and I can already tell that I will want to purchase more products in the future!

5 Lauren M.
It ’s an amazing backpack, bought it for my daughter for Christmas. Love the color and all the pockets.

5 Rosie O.
The 35 L is the perfect travel backpack for a weekend trip or longer journey. I have been using a previous version for a couple of years now and it ’s been a game changer for travel. Airlines will force hard carry- on cases to be checked if room is tight, but my Cotopaxi always gets the green light even on foreign carriers with tighter restrictions. The compartments provide an organized approach for accessing your personal items while traveling. This backpack is durable, convenient, and surprisingly spacious. I often find myself talking with other travelers in airport lines who are also sporting Cotopaxi. It ’s like we all part of the same club and we end up striking up a conversation around how good these bags are.

5 Erin K.
I love all the zippered pockets. My favorite aspect of the pack is its ability to open like a suitcase. The shoulder straps feel comfortable and the colors are so much more fun than many other packs I see.

5 Maxwell W.
This is the perfect size for me taking to work without being too big. I love the front pocket for all my cables, and the multiple pockets for a laptop and other devices/chargers keeps everything organized. The only minor complaint is that the top compartment can sometimes make it hard to access down to the bottom of the main area if very full.

I am a 35 years old nomad, and I 've been a nomad since my childhood( thank you, mom and dad!). So you can imagine that I ’ ve gone through my fair share of travel gear. But five years ago, I made the switch to this backpack, and let me tell you: it changed the game!! This isn ’ t just a bag; it ’s my life in carry- on form. We ’ re talking everything: clothes, two laptops, cameras, wires, other electronics, toiletries, you name it... I even managed to attach a tripod and camping tent on the front face for a while.( Who even designs something that versatile? Genius!!!) I am not the most careful person with my belongings, so backpack has seen it all. I ’ ve flown on airlines across every continent, and not once did it get issues using it as a carry- on. Okay, there was that one tiny plane where it wouldn ’ t fit in the overhead bin. But I found an easy solution: I pulled out my laptops, slid this backpack under the seat, and we were good to go.( Sure, the flight was cramped, but blame the plane, not the backpack 😂) It ’s not just about the space, though. This bag is comfy to carry for hours, perfectly balanced, with multiple carrying options and a sternum strap that ’s somehow both lightweight and super durable. And yes, it ’s heavier than my previous bags. But I ca n't complain, because it ’s built to last. Five years of travel( and trust me, my trips are not gentle), and it still looks like I just bought it. No scratches, no tears, not much wear( you can see it in the pic, although the backpack was super dirty on one of those pics lol). And I loooove the water resistance. This thing has survived downpours that left me drenched while my gear stayed dry. Mind you, I have my stuff inside plastic bags inside my backpack, just in case. But the last few times, nothing inside got wet anyway. I haven ’ t tested it recently, and I know that the water resistance may decrease over the years... but from my past experiences, it ’s never let me down.( I ’ ll update this review if that ever changes) If you ’ re on the fence because of the price, but you are looking for something to use for years, let me save you some time: just get it. After five years, I can ’ t imagine using another backpack. It ’s my ultimate travel companion, and if ever it breaks, I would buy another one for sure. I hope this helps someone!!!

After 3 years of use in all conditions in the four corners of the world, I can say... this is a perfect bag. Tested by the Indonesian rain, covered by snow on the Swiss peaks, splashed in the middle of the Andaman Sea in Thailand, deposited in the burning sand of Egypt, whipped by the winds of Spain, exposed for hours to the sun of Tazmania. This bag is all- proof, it is the perfect travel companion for small and large journeys. With its adjustable size it allows you to go from one size to another in a fraction of a second. You can put all your equipement of photo for a perfect security. It is an integral part of each of my trips as much for its practicality as for its quality. Ingenious and really well thought out I recommend without hesitation to anyone who wants to invest in a quality bag for many year.

5 cal
Had this a couple of months and just took my first trip. I bought a pair of ski boots and checked them with my luggage. On my return trip I was worried they would get banged up so a light bulb went off. Could I possibly fit two huge size twelve ski boots in my Peak design. Holy crap. They fit like a glove. As if they were designed for the bag. Bonus, I said hmmmm. I wonder if I can use the straps to tie my helmet to the outside. boom works perfectly. And I also put my tech bag, lap top, iPad, kindle, head phones, goggles, etc in the bag and I need even need to expand to 45 liters. I also bought the sling bag which I carry in the bag and use as a day pack, it takes up zero room in the bag. Oh and I am still finding little compartments I did n't know where there. THERE IS NOT OTHER BAG ON THE MARKET AS GOOD AS THIS. Oh, I know I am a bag junky and I own all the others as well.

5 Firefightercanada
I admit I was hesitant to spend this kind of money on a backpack, but I plan on doing a lot of travel, and this pack has so many neat features. I was impressed with the quality build, and high- end material this is made from. I am generally hard on my gear, but I can see this lasting me well into retirement( years away). Packing is an art, and this pack opens up options.

5 Chris P
Wow- is possible to be in love with an inanimate object( 45L backpack)? I purchased this bag a month ago and have used it on two trips. Flawless, high quality and lives up to all the reviews! The packing cubes, tech and bath pouches, field pouch and 'stretchy' cubes rounded out the whole system, flawlessly. I could not be more happy with the fit, finish and overall quality of this bag and the accessories- well done!! Yes, the price is a bit higher than others, but you get what you pay for.

5 Winslow
I bought this bag to use as my carry on camera bag, when I travelled for three weeks on 8 flights and seven hotels. It worked very well with a medium camera cube inside. If the reduction press studs had held i would have said it was perfect, but other than that i am very pleased with the clean lines when the straps are stowed.

The ambidextrous shoulder strap is a nice feature that allows me to share this with family and friends.

Highly recommend this pack. Light, sturdy and well made. Can ’ t go wrong with the Osprey lifetime product guarantee either!

The top clip and front pockets makes it easy to carry hiking poles up front. Straps comfortably adjust to short height( I 'm 5' 2) and the chest and waist strap make the bag very supportive without too much strain on your back after several hours in the mountains.

I got this backpack to prepare for my 3 month trip in the Caribbean and it ’s has been so helpful to say the least. I have an overpacking problem but all of the different compartments and pockets made it so I could fit everything I needed. The support on the backside of it helps so much with my back pain and doesn ’ t make me feel exhausted at the end of a busy travel day. Furthermore, the top bit comes off as a smaller backpack which was perfect for day trips. The only thing i would change would be the smaller buckles that attach the front pocket to the bag, they were a little weak. However, I don ’ t have any worry they will come undone when I check it at the airport. Overall, this bag has been a HUGE help!! It definitely has made my traveling much easier.

5 sanahk2
[ This Ampex 65L transcend backpack is quite impressive. It checks all high- end features like- waterproof material, little pockets for essentials is awesome. It provides really decent support for the frame on the back and the rest on the hips, rather than on upper back and shoulders. Lastly as it is 65L- it can pack everything needed for international or a multi- day hike comfortably.

This is a great backpack for the price. I am giving it 5 stars because it's everything you would want and need in a pack. The middle zipper opening is an amazing feature that allows you to get into your items without having to pull everything out from the top like a conventional pack. One downside are the hip straps. I feel they could be slightly larger for the size of pack, I had some discomfort but nothing terribly bad, likely had more to do with me being out of shape as well. I recommended this to a buddy and he has one and uses it quite often like myself.

I went backpacking in Linville Gorge, NC for three days, and honestly, my best choice was the 65L backpack. It fit what I needed and had plenty of room to spare. The support to keep my back from sweating, the elastic exterior pockets, and the included small daypack are my favorite details. I would change the side straps for the rigid mat to be a little longer, and the phone holder to be more elastic, since my S23 Ultra does n't fit. I highly recommend this backpack without a doubt.

[ The Transcend 50L Hiking Backpack: A Versatile Companion for the Trail The Transcend 50L Hiking Backpack is a formidable choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a durable, versatile, and comfortable backpack for their adventures. Having used this backpack on several hiking trips, I can confidently say it's a reliable companion for both day hikes and extended treks.** Durability( 5/5):** The Transcend 50L is built to last. Its rugged materials and reinforced stitching make it resilient against wear and tear. Even after traversing through rough terrains, the backpack showed minimal signs of damage, a testament to its outstanding durability.** Capacity( 4/5):** With a 50- liter capacity, this backpack strikes a great balance between being spacious enough to hold all your essentials and compact enough to prevent overpacking. The main compartment easily accommodates clothing, camping gear, and food supplies, while the numerous pockets and attachments allow for organized storage of smaller items.** Comfort( 4/5):** The padded shoulder straps and back panel provide decent comfort, especially during long hikes. The airflow system helps keep your back cool and minimizes discomfort caused by sweat. However, some users might find the hip belt padding a bit lacking for heavier loads, and it could be improved for even more comfort during extended treks.** Features( 4/5):** The Transcend 50L boasts various thoughtful features, such as multiple gear loops, hydration reservoir compatibility, and adjustable straps for securing your gear. It also includes a rain cover, which is a valuable addition for keeping your belongings dry in inclement weather. The only downside is that some users may find the zippers a bit tricky to operate, especially when the bag is fully loaded.** Price( 5/5):** The Transcend 50L offers great value for its price point. It competes well with more expensive hiking backpacks on the market while maintaining a reasonable cost. In summary, the Transcend 50L Hiking Backpack is a reliable choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a durable and reasonably priced backpack. Its versatile design, decent comfort, and excellent durability make it suitable for a wide range of hiking adventures. While it might not be the absolute best in every aspect, it delivers a commendable overall performance that will serve you well on the trails.

[ This backpack has so much space! There are countless pockets for optimizing storage of all your goods and makes everything so easy to access. The pack itself is pretty comfy and has good structural support to keep your back from hurting. I like the adjustability of all the straps and the big zipper pulls which make them easy to open with gloves on. This includes a rain cover which is nice to have in case you encounter bad weather. And the material itself seems durable and lightweight!

I bought this pack for day hikes and traveling, and I love it! The different adjustments make it super- comfortable, and the exterior loops for my trekking poles are really convenient. Great quality, lots of pockets and loops on the exterior, good ventilation on for my back, The only negative for me- it's currently only available in black. When they 're in blue or green, I will DEFINITELY get the larger size for longer hikes.

This a great backpack and is nice combination of an ultralight backpack, but with a lot of the features of a more traditional backpack.

Frequently Asked Questions For Backpacks for Day Trips

When choosing a backpack for day trips, consider features such as capacity, comfort, and organization. Look for adjustable straps and padded back panels for comfort during extended wear. Additionally, pockets and compartments can help keep your gear organized and easily accessible.

The ideal size for a day trip backpack typically ranges from 15 to 30 liters. This size is sufficient to carry essentials like water, snacks, a first aid kit, and extra clothing without being overly bulky. It's important to find a balance between capacity and comfort to ensure an enjoyable experience.

Yes, materials play a crucial role in the durability and weather resistance of day trip backpacks. Look for backpacks made from high-quality nylon or polyester, as these materials are often lightweight yet strong. Additionally, water-resistant or waterproof coatings can help protect your belongings from unexpected weather.

To ensure comfort during a day of hiking, choose a backpack with adjustable straps and a padded back panel. It's also beneficial to look for a design that distributes weight evenly across your back and shoulders. Testing the backpack with some weight before your trip can help you assess its comfort level.

Day trip backpacks are versatile and can be used for a variety of activities such as hiking, biking, or even casual outings. They are designed to carry essentials for a day outdoors, making them ideal for short excursions where you need to be mobile and hands-free. Their lightweight design allows for easy maneuverability.

Choosing the right style of backpack depends on your specific needs and preferences. Consider factors such as the type of activities you plan to engage in, the amount of gear you need to carry, and your personal comfort. Some styles offer more organization features, while others prioritize lightweight and minimalist designs.
