Bays 18L Backpack

Looks great and feels nice. Bought for my wife for a birthday gift and she loves it. She now nearly has a Cotipaxi product for every situation! šŸ˜‚

A perfect everyday bag

I live in a big city and donā€™t own a car so I live out of my bag when Iā€™m not home. This means carrying an assortment of daily goods. This bad has plenty of room for my camera (inside of a padded camera cube), headphones, a book, laptop, and whatever else I might need for the dayā€™s adventure. Iā€™m probably what youā€™d call an over-researcher when it comes to things like this. I spent hours comparing bags online and in-person and ultimately landed on the Via 18 liter backpack. It just checks all of the boxes I had. I love the style, the size and the durability of this bag. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, well constructed backpack. Awkward Design

I wanted to love this backpack. I am obsessed with the color way. But functionally, It just doesn't work. Ill go into some details: The backpack is really narrow and deep, both the main and front pocket. Maybe good for larger items, but it leaves an awkward amount of space ā€œon topā€- I. e, with a laptop inside, water bottle, or books, there is still like 8 inches of vertical bag space which makes fitting things weird. Could be good for fitting a jacket I suppose, but things like snacks, and smaller items just get sort of placed weird. The horizontal space gets filled top quick due to it being narrow. The front pocket is what made me return this bag. Because only zips horizontally across, and because the pocket is SO deep, I found this pocket to be really awkward to use. For reference of depth, when sticking my arm in it goes up to my elbow. Small things get lost in the cavern on the pocket. Large things donā€™t really fit due to the narrow zip. Maybe I just donā€™t have the use case of this design, but I couldnā€™t figure out any practical use for this bag. Lastly, no water bottle pocket was kinda disappointing. Because of all of these issues, I couldnā€™t justify keeping the bag for its cost even though I really wanted to love it.

Coto Vaya 18L

I went with this bag because of design/brand rep. as well as the material. Itā€™s just enough space for me in conjunction with a duffel bag (hint) which Iā€™ll need next. Iā€™ll report back after some use.

Great school bag

I bought this bag for my daughter for school. Sheā€™s been looking for a light, water resistant backpack with enough shoulder support for her laptop and space efficient for her school work. This bag meets all her needs and sheā€™s loving it!

Excellent Bag!

This bag arrived sooner than expected, allowing me to use it for a three-day trip to Chicago. It was fantastic! It fit everything I needed while giving room for any souvenirs I picked up. I also loved the bag's false bottom computer sleeve. I didn't have to worry about damaging my computer every time I set my bag down.

Outstanding everyday Backpack

I wanted this backpack to commute and take my laptop everyday in Mexico City, I am very Happy I found this Vaya 20L as I was looking for something durable and well made to carry my life's work which is my laptop and this backpack meets perfectly those needs, great resistant materials, construction is top noch, the laptop compartment is paded and suspended so it doesn't hit the ground. the front large pocket is great for my accessories, I also use this pocket for a water bottle, the pack does not have a side water bottle pocket so I use the front pocket and its actually better as there is no risk for the bottle to fall. lots of attachment points, comfortable straps and a very cool and clean design. I love this backpack and I highly recommend it.
