Small but mighty, we built the Consuelo 22L Daypack to accommodate shorter torsos. This reliable pack is built with recycled polyester, and the contoured straps provide extra space for people with busts. A roll top main compartment, dedicated laptop sleeve, zippered compartments, and water bottle sleeves make hitting the town a breeze.

Purchased this bag in black for my son to take to college. It’s a smaller backpack, but just the size he needs for his laptop and a few extra items. He loves the separate laptop area and the padding seems like it will keep his computer protected. He has two other Cotopaxi bags for rock climbing and they have held up well, so I have no doubt this one will be the same.

Not happy
Colour is not the same as on the website. Shape is too sturdy, feels like a block - didnt like it.

Roll and lock for the bulk pocket.
Once you roll the mouth of the bag, clip click but strap loosen up easily if you grab it.
If each side of the mouth had a clip, rolling and clicking to form a handle would fit my need and secure the bag from opening and letting the elements getting inside.

Just the right size to pack for a day hike plus has style to take traveling. Looking forward to using it in Europe next month and filling it with treasures!

Business and Travel Ready
This backpack was a perfect fit for me, with the womans focused fit in harness and backpanel, feel very comfortable during traveling and work commutes. I also appreciated the front chest strap, which made heavier loads much more comfortable to carry.
The bucket-style design was one of my favorite features - letting me pack more efficiently by stacking items vertically rather than spreading them outward like in a traditional backpack. The separate laptop compartment is also a huge plus, making it easy to access my computer without digging through everything else.
Despite how much this backpack can hold, it remained surprisingly travel-friendly. Even packed to the brim, it fit comfortably under the seat in front of me on airplanes, making it an excellent personal item for travel. Overall, it's a thoughtfully designed pack that maximizes both comfort and space.

Blue Consuelo 22L backpack
This was the perfect day backpack/ weekender pack for me. It has 1 main zipper area in the front and one in the inside of the main compartment which is great for smaller items and can carry a decent amount of clothes/larger items in the main compartment. I love the sectioned off area for laptops because it makes sure it’s safe and protected. Overall this backpack is exactly what I needed for a weekend getaway and daily use for my laptop/ packing in lunch box/jacket and other items for work.
