Purchased this bag to give my backpack a break and find something more professional looking and durable. This bag is perfect for all those reasons. The straps are comfortable, the bag is roomy and never feels overstuffed. Totally recommend this bag.

This bag is almost perfect for a bag to bring to work. It has the perfect amount of space for purse essentials, a laptop, a change of clothes for the gym, etc. The pockets are just...too big. They're bottomless pits, and they don't have any organization in them. If you like to carry around a bunch of small stuff, such as travel toiletries, first aid things, phone charger, headphones, etc. , you can expect everything to just pile up at the bottom of the (very deep) pockets. It ends up making the bag very bulbous at the bottom, which in turn makes the main center part of the bag hard to use. Don’t get me wrong, I like the big pockets, they just need some internal organization. Second, the laptop sleeve doesn't have any sort of closure on it. So, whenever you put a laptop in it, it just falls toward the inside of the bag, instead of staying against the wall of the bag. Could really use a elastic/velcro closure there. I'm going to try to get some small fabric bags to use to organize the deep pockets myself, and hopefully it'll make my items disperse through the purse a little more evenly. May try to add a velcro closure to the laptop sleeve myself

What a great bag!! I purchased this for a carry-on bag for a trip to Europe, and it has been great! Wonderful color, sturdy, and lots of room — even after packing my laptop.

This bag is good as a “large purse” for bringing to work, or going on short overnights. It fits all the essentials, and then has room for your lunch, some gym clothes, toiletries, etc. My only (somewhat major) complaint is that the pockets don’t have any organization within them. They’re just large bottomless pockets. So, if you have a bunch of small items (tiny deodorant, headphones, pill bottles, chargers, whatever), everything just ends up piling up at the bottom of the pockets, instead of filling up the bag vertically. It ends up making the bag very bulbous at the bottom, and makes it difficult to actually put anything in the main central part of the bag. Having some smaller pockets within the huge pockets would make this bag perfect. I am going to buy some small fabric bags to organize some of my items, which will hopefully make the bag fill up a bit more evenly.

Heading for Greece for two weeks and this just fits the bill. Full of all the pockets and features I need but not bulky or cumbersome. Sleek look without losing function. Love all the thoughtful details like snaps on the shoulder straps and the addition of smaller handles as well. Best of all, it securely zipsat the top for peace of mind. Many thanks Cotopaxi!

Can’t believe I got this on sale! It’s awesome. I love the color, the style, all those little details that make it super versatile and comfortable. It’s my second Cotopaxi purchase and I think I’m in love with the products! 50l backpack is my next goal! This bag went on 2 days trip with me and it was perfect. Love it.

This is literally my 5th attempt at finding the right tote bag for me to bring to work and manage electronic devices, lunch, water bottle and other assorted necessities. I love that there’s a place for everything yet my items are not “hidden” in pockets! They are wide and can be zippered or not, so easy access to everything which is awesome! No further searching needed!

I can fit all my work supplies in this tote, with my water bottle inside in the specific holding area. Great laptop protection. Highly recommend!

I've had lot of luck with their bags. They are well designed and durable. This is my 4th product from them. This bag is amazing. Lots of compartment to keep all of your stuff protected and from getting lost in the bag vortex. I really like that it includes an upright bottle compartment to put your water bottle ii and the outer pocket for easy access. This bag looks really amazing. Very Professional I might buy a second one to store!

I bought this for work and it fits my laptop, two large water bottles or coffee cups inside, and odds and ends. I like the variety pockets, and plan to use it for travel as well using the suitcase handle strap. Overall, very pleased!

I needed one bag for work and travel that would hold plenty of stuff and this one is everything I was hoping for — sturdy, structured, versatile, and roomy. Love interior AND exterior water bottle holders, inner and outer zipper pockets, and the luggage handle pass-through strap. Many totes don’t have a top zipper, or if they do have one, it makes the bag narrower at the top — this bag is designed to close securely without losing and volume. Great bag, worth the price.

I bought this to be my “teacher tote” for two main reasons. 1) the straps are just the right length to carry on my shoulder. 2) the bottle sleeves inside are large enough for all my giant water bottles and coffee tumblers. Most days I carry a 30 oz Stanley or 32oz Owala (water) and a 24 oz yeti (coffee) and wanted a tote that could handle those plus my daily essentials.

I recently started a Medical Assistant program and was looking for a spacious, reliable bag to fit all my daily essentials. This tote is absolute perfection! It easily fits my heavy books, notebooks, lunchbox, and even a extra set of scrubs without feeling overly bulky. The size is just right, and the material is super easy to wipe clean, which is a huge plus in the medical field. I also love how wide it opens I can instantly see everything inside without wasting time digging around for small items. Highly recommend to any student or professional on the go!

I have been looking for a strong, but lightweight, tote bag for travel. I needed to find that perfect match between looking professional for work and also fashionable for everyday carry. This tote has it all: lots of pockets, zippers, and the best feature for me is short and long straps. I also appreciate the external or internal water bottle slots. I highly recommend this tote and plan to use it for a long time.
