I recently picked up the Cotopaxi Mente 32L Daypack, and it has quickly become my go-to bag for just about everything. After using it for a variety of tasks, here is why I’m absolutely loving it: • Massive Versatility: The 32L capacity is the "Goldilocks" size. It is large enough to function as a weekender bag or a heavy-duty gym/work hybrid, but it doesn't feel bulky or oversized when I'm just using it for a daily commute. • Smart Organization: I love that it has a dedicated, padded sleeve that fits my laptop (up to 16") perfectly. The accessory pockets make it easy to find my keys and phone without digging through the main compartment, and the dual side pockets are actually sturdy enough to hold large water bottles. • All-Day Comfort: Even when I have it loaded down with gear, the padded straps and breathable back panel make it incredibly comfortable to wear. The sternum strap is a great touch for added stability when I'm on the move. • Durability & Ethics: You can feel the quality of the recycled ripstop nylon immediately. It’s tough, water-resistant, and I love supporting a brand that prioritizes sustainability and ethical manufacturing.

I bought a backpack for my gf and she absolutely loves it, she needed something for school, library and weekend trips. I like to tell her she’s a Cotopaxi girl now and she gets a huge grin on her face. Now I fear I’ve created a monster and must get more things

This backpack is perfect - from the color to the material, to the size, to all of the different pockets. It will be absolutely perfect for me to use when I travel for work or fun.

After years of using (and using up) a trusty old backpack, I was looking for something with ample capacity, waist-strap, sternum strap, and just enough organizing pockets. This definitely fit the bill!

We purchased this backpack for a trip, and it has held up very well. The different pockets are helpful for organization.

this was a gift for my boyfriend and he loved it, the size is ideal for a personal item whenever we need to travel, he loved the color and all the sections the pack has to store his laptop, glasses and even clothes. definitely recommend it!!!

This bag has everything I was looking for. The size can fit packing cubes perfectly and the ability to compress when the full space isn't needed is really nice. The laptop pocket is the only thing lacking some design - the separate laptop sleeve was a necessary purchase.

Overall this is a great backpack, the colors are fun and the backpack looks great. The organization is good with plenty of room for everything I need. There are a few structural issues that I believe could be tweaked, such as the straps being too close at the top, rubbing against your neck; the bottom of the bag being quite thin, making me think it could tear easily; and the laptop pocket bulging outward when wearing the pack, creating an awkward bump. Despite all of this, the bag is still comfortable and doesn’t feel too heavy when fully backed. If those problems could be addressed it would be perfect. Overall a great bag.

This bag is absolutely perfect! I work on boats and have become known for my old backpack that looks like a huuuge krabby patty. It was bought at Hot Topic for my younger brother when he was in forth grade who is now 17 years old:( All the places that bag had traveled and all the random stuff I had managed to squeeze into the depths of the bottom bun, I dreaded the day it had to be retired. For months I contemplated and hunted for a comparable sack, with all the things I sadly wished the burger had. The perfect size, the perfect style, all the comfort to make up for the back pain the burger had given me on bike rides and long walks to work, and most importantly. . . the pockets. Burgers dont have smaller sections, its all the same size as the bun. Many a time I found my size dumping the burger upside down to find what I knew was hiding in the bottom of the cheese. This Otopaxi has a perfect amount, in perfect sizes. Absolutely zero regrets chosing Otopaxi to replace my cheeseburger that will always hold a place in the pickles of my heart, and would only recommend the best to those who ask.

Very well made, great compartments, so many options to choose from. Sturdy. The only wish would be lighter in weight and still be sturdy well made.

The backpack feels great on my back/shoulders and has a surprising amount of depth and carrying capacity for its size. Thank you very much Cotopaxi!

I bought this as my daily work bag and it’s been perfect! It has lots of pockets that make it easy to stay organized but the main compartments are still big enough to fit larger things like your lunch bag. I am able to fit my lunch, workout clothes/shoes, my kindle, and two U-bike locks in the bag. The color is also very nice!
