Not BOMA
I have love my BOMA 13 for the past 5 years. The color, simple, classic design, the color & the material. I can go on & on. I still have it & not past with it. I settled on the Vaya 18L after trying the Dia 22 (I think??). While I liked the aesthetics of the Dia - the bonus was the water bottle carrier feature - the top cinch mechanism was IMPOSSIBLE for my arthritic fingers. Plus the length of the pack was doing a number to my neck. Thankfully, the Vaya was shorter & met my needs. The one difference that still sets the BOMA apart is the seamless design to the front chest straps: I could adjust it by merely sliding it up & down whereas the Dia requires yet another cumbersome adjustment that requires unhooking the entire strap & reposition it to the the preferred notch. Again, for my arthritis fingers, not so easy to do. Dont care either for the plastic feel of the pack. I will forever loooove & keep my BOMA. I will, however, remain a fan of Cotopaxi❣️

Dependable, outstanding product
This is my third back, all of them different sizes. I am constantly amazed every time I pick them up, at what high quality these packs are. I can not think of a single product I own in life that has this level of workmanship. I “sell” these packs everywhere I go.

Must have backpack!
Enjoy every moment with my Cotopaxi backpack when traveling around the US. Big enough to pack my 3 days needs and small enough to be no extra cost carry-on. Great to be using for work gear as well~

Great for daily use and as carry-on
I rarely purchase backpacks but needed one for travel, not too big/not too small.. the material I was skeptical about but I’m so glad I gave it a chance.. holds everything I needed for a quick day hike, exploring the city, daily use, carryon.. love the side enclosure for the laptop.. I like the dark color (black) with bits of color.

Just what I needed!
I needed a just right bag for a change of clothes, makeup and my laptop! The bag is perfect for gym day, all day outdoor exploration and works good as an overnight bag! It seems durable and looks unique. I Like it!

Pack too Tight
I absolutely love Cotopaxi packs. No lie: I have about a half a dozen of them. The straps on this pack inexplicably cut into my neck because they are too close together. It would not keep me from purchasing another pack but this design is incompatible!

Cade Dia Back Pack
I love this backpack! My backpack had just gotten stolen so I went into Cotopaxi on a whim to see if they had anything I might like. My favorite color is blue, so I was automatically drawn to this back. Once I got my hands on it, I knew it was the one for me. It's 18L, which might sound small, but it fits a lot! It has two big pockets with a computer spot in the back and a secret zipper pocket on the inside. The style allows for easy packing and unpacking. I also got caught in the rain, and learned that the outside panel is waterproof! AMAZING! It's slick and fits great. I take Muni and Bart to work and it's not bulky and does not stick out like other backpacks I've had. I would buy this bag again and again!

The monochromatic color makes it
The monochromatic color makes it a little classier than the bright multi-color ones my students carry.
