Cotopaxi
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Cotopaxi does have some non-clown options if you go with cada dia. no guarantees you'll like their fit more, but they have some nice options.
- Check Cotopaxi. Everything they sell seems to be designed for height above all else. ... every bag they make is very long for the volume from what I can tell (but I do love the color options 😭 )
- but in my search i tried the matado 35, the cor surf, pakt aer and the cotopaxi was the winner. felt like i could fit the most stuff and was the most comfortable
- Oh man this bag is just friggin awesome. I'm currently on my 3rd trip with this bag and it serves me well.
- Go with Cotopaxi because they are the original designers and try to do some good as a business vs Cor which is just a rip off of the Cotopaxi.
Cons
- Cotopaxi - Waterbottle absent, also not a fan of the style
- Apparently the brand is PITA to work with for small retailers too.
- Really like Cotopaxi bags, but their unwavering commitment to garish color schemes probably turns a lot of customers off.
- Originally I was going for the Cotopaxi but I can't justify the price so I found this as an alternative.
- Have you ever used a backpack with a similar layout/design (divided 50:50, zipped mesh divider across the whole interior) as the Cotopaxi before? I tried a much cheaper bag the same organization before, and instantly decided it's not for...

I tried a much cheaper bag the same organization before, and instantly decided it's not for me, after my first trip using it. Reasons I didn't like it: - You always need a lot of space if you want to put anything in or out of your bag, and it's quite the process. ... I felt that this design is the worst if you want to slightly overpack your bag.
Oh man this bag is just friggin awesome. I'm currently on my 3rd trip with this bag and it serves me well.
Plus unfortunately, for some reason, cotopaxis are like 50% more expensive in Europe? The 225 USD bag costs around 300 euro, so like 350 USD here.
