Cotopaxi Vaya 18L Backpack in Spruce

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I grabbed the Cotopaxi Vaya 18L Backpack for daily use and it has been my go-to for everything from work commutes to weekend travel.

The U-zipper access makes loading and unpacking fast and frustration-free, the padded shoulder straps stay comfortable through long carry days, and the recycled nylon construction feels noticeably more substantial than other packs at this size and price point."Every day needs a pack that can keep up, and the Cotopaxi Vaya 18L Backpack is built to handle all of them without asking you to compromise on ethics or aesthetics.

The 18-liter capacity is the sweet spot for a day's worth of essentials whether you are heading to the office, catching a flight, or spending an afternoon in the park, and the large U-zipper access opens the main compartment fully so loading and unloading is never a battle.

The 840D recycled nylon shell is durable enough to handle daily wear and tear across years of regular use, and the breathable mesh back panel with padded ergonomic shoulder straps keeps the carry comfortable whether the bag is light or fully loaded.

A laptop sleeve fits up to 15 inches, zippered internal and external pockets keep smaller essentials organized, and a sternum strap adds security on more active days.

Cotopaxi's B Corp certification means every purchase supports a company held to rigorous standards of environmental and ethical production, and the recycled nylon construction backs that commitment up with materials that reflect it.
