I’m a Cotopaxi fan
I was on the hunt for a backpack that could keep up with my work trips — something stylish and functional at the same time. Let me tell you: the Chiquillo 26L is absolutely it.
This backpack is surprisingly spacious. I can fit my laptop, iPad, notebook, plus all the random “just in case” essentials I need easy access to on a plane. And trust me, I’m definitely not one of those people who can survive with just a purse. I like to be prepared for everything, and this backpack handles it perfectly without feeling bulky.
I also love the colorway. It honestly feels like a little extension of my Allpa 28… like its cooler little cousin (but not little at all). The material quality is amazing, it feels durable and well-made, and overall it just looks so good.
100% recommend. !

Low Quality backpack
I don’t know if I was expecting too much, but the quality of the build and material of this backpack is shockingly low for the price point.
