Love my Cotopaxi!
This pack was perfect for a 3 day trip :) I used it as my carry on and was able to walk around the airport with it with ease.

Do not like the Mente 32L Daypack
First, my order took nearly 3 weeks to arrive. I suppose it was partly fault of USPS. As I watched the tracking it traveled all over the US.
I've used numerous daypacks in my life. Never this brand before and I definitely don't like it. I liked the size & thought the design looked good but there are way too many various straps all over the thing. I hadn't noticed the chest straps which I would never use & there is no place to tuck them away. Waist straps are more common but I seriously wish companies would design a way to tuck unused straps away. These things just hang all over the daypack. It's a floppy mess. Cotopaxi should also include a band on all daypacks so they can slide over rolling luggage handles. I was aware that this model didn't have that but I honestly don't know why they can't be included on more daypacks. Hopefully I can return this. Waited so long for it & very disappointed.

Great bag
Had a smaller backpack for work (the abierto) and wanted something bigger for travel. This works great. Basically the perfect size for under seat in front of you on the plane.

I love this backpack so much and can't say enough wonderful things about it
Its literally perfect. I travel a lot and this time really needed space because international flights have so many limits, and I was surprised how much I could fit into this bag without trouble. I also am on a school campus everyday. The straps are such that I actually don't feel strain on my shoulders from carrying books and a laptop all day. Such a perfect bag I'm really glad I made this purchase!

Beautiful
The backpack is well made. Lots of pockets and places to put my stuff. Alas the straps dig into my neck bc they are too close together on the top. I won't be bringing this on my hiking trip. Sad.

My favorite pack
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.
