I bought this for work and I absolutely love this bag. I wanted something that was versatile but also had a professional feel to it, I work in tech so it fits the attire. I am excited to also take it on a day hike when the time comes, or a flight when I am headed out of town next, or just to the office. Such a great bag.
The Tasara 16L was my first cotopaxi bag. My bag before this was a Alpaka messenger but I needed something with more space but also slim for the train rides to and from work. I really like this bag. Great color options, I purchased the fatigue colorway, but almost got the “surprise me” bag. I rated this 5 stars but one thing I wish was different was the lower, front compartment. I just wished there were like sleeves or some kind of pocket inside of it for better organization but not a deal breaker at all. Ive only been using the bag for about 2 weeks now so I cant speak on the long term durability but its a well crated bag.
First of all, I am a HUGE fan of the top-loader design change from a clamshell. It makes it much more useful in environments where one cannot lay down the bag to fish out one thing. Also, I absolutely love the Cotopaxi signature front pockets that do not eat into the main compartment. 11/10. However, after literally one mile walking, I have made up my mind about this bag. The following are traits I do not like: - The weight of the bag only ever rests on the outside edge of the strap - so basically 99% of the strap material is useless and it's like walking around with a drawstring bag filled with rocks. - The thingies at the end of the straps meant for lengthening or shortening the overall strap length digs into my ribs. Not a fan. - The bag pulls up the back of my shirt when I walk. I mean, I end up bare-backed on the lower portion of my back. Not ideal. - The pencil sleeves are way too tight to fit anything inside them - especially if your pens have a silicone grip. - No ventilation whatsoever, but I knew that when I bought the bag. - No quick access "passport" pocket. Another thing I knew, but man it sucks not having that. Overall, I think that if Cotopaxi makes a few select changes, this bag would be everywhere. 16L is the ideal EDC backpack for most people IMHO,
Brush Clouds Indigo Is true to picture color Ot is the perfect size, shape and pockets needed to be gifted and used as a diaper bag. I did this for my nice 3 years ago and has been used for both kids now. Now time to gift to my nephew as he starts his new family.
Picked up a handy 16L bag at a Cotopaxi pop up store while on a recent trip. I usually don’t go for anything this small, but the organization really makes it feel much larger than it is. Also, I couldn’t turn down the burnt orange color. I’m a bigger guy 5’10”, 300, & the pack still fits comfortably. That’s important as it’s not always the case. Can’t go wrong with this pack especially as an EDC, unless you’re looking for anything more than an overnighter or you just like to carry more.
Loving the Tasra so far, for the most part. Pics on the website didn’t make clear that the large pocket on the bottom front of the bag has no internal dividers or pockets, so I’m a bit disappointed with that, and the laptop sleeve is a lil tight, but otherwise, I like it a lot! Straps are comfy, plenty of space for anything I’d be bringing out on a day trip, fits a smaller sling bag in that large bottom pocket I mentioned. I’m very happy with it, all-in-all.
Bought this just before a trip to Costa Rica. This bag was so handy for my daily adventures! I could stash my phone and charger in the front pocket and put snacks or a change of clothing in the main compartment. The straps are quite comfortable and the color pops! Only minor gripe is that the bag tends to maintain a cuboidal shape, so don't expect this to function as a shopping bag. Stuffing a jacket inside may not be possible, unless it's a very thin one.
This backpack has many pockets. It’s very roomy and you can fit so much in this pack. It’s lightweight and can be used for school, leisure, travel. I like that you have the option to choose a solid color or the multiple colors selection. It has a pocket for your water bottle. This pack is well made. This is my second Tasra 16L. My first one was several colors and this time I bought a solid color. Love it! Just the same. Buy it, you’ll be so happy you did.
I needed to replace a backpack that I loved so much, but the company that I bought it from didn’t make it anymore. So I did a lot of research across different companies to find something that could live up to that backpack (and make up for the few gripes I had with it) and I am so happy I chose this one! I travel for work, so I needed something that could hold my laptop and be roomy without getting too heavy, something that I could take to the office or take on a plane. And this fits the bill! The organization is perfect! A large main pocket with a few dividers, and then two extra pockets. I feel like other backpacks on the market are either made of a million pockets or are just one big pocket. This is the perfect middle ground! This is my first Cotopaxi, and I can already tell that I will want to purchase more products in the future!
We bought this bag to be our go to diaper bag for outtings with our new little girl! It works great! It has lots of storage and organizers build in. We also got some of the small zipper organizer bags to go into the main compartment to help further organize smaller items, clothes, and pumping parts. It even fits the large Momcozy portable cooler and warmer bottles. Overall, very happy with this bag and has made going out as a family a lot easier!
