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.

I love this bag. I work in professional sports. So being able to travel with a bag that isn’t huge but can fit all my stuff is a major plus. It is versatile as well as built for easy access with lots of different pockets. Would recommend for anyone who needs a day pack or something for school life.

I ordered this bag for a trip I have planned next week, but I am excited to use it! The fabric is light but still good quality and the zippers are very smooth.

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.

Lots of space for everything I need. I love the form factor, the color, and the overall ease of usability.

I make a mistake a purchase a 32L I was thinking that was a 35L
Fernanda V.
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.
