What is COTOPAXI?
COTOPAXI is an outdoor brand founded in Utah, USA.
Guided by its mission, “Gear For Good,” the company is committed not only to creating high-quality outdoor gear but also to supporting environmental sustainability and helping communities in need.
By incorporating recycled materials into many of its products, COTOPAXI reduces environmental impact while delivering bags that combine playful designs with outstanding functionality.
What is Del Día?
Del Día is one of COTOPAXI’s most iconic and popular collections.
Each bag is made using high-quality leftover fabric from the manufacturing process, meaning every color combination is completely unique. No two bags are exactly alike, allowing you to own a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
The Del Día Collection perfectly combines sustainability with individuality, making it one of COTOPAXI’s signature product lines.
The biggest advantages of the EMPACKABLE Series are its lightweight design, packability, and everyday practicality.
Both models can be folded into their front pocket, making them excellent secondary bags for travel, hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities.
EMPACKABLE 16L DAYPACK
Capacity: 16L
Dimensions: 51 × 31.5 × 23.75 cm
Weight: 227 g
An Ultra-Light Daypack Perfect for Travel
With a practical 16-liter capacity and weighing only 227 g, this daypack is lightweight enough for women, smaller users, and even children to carry comfortably.
When not in use, it packs neatly into its own front pocket, making it an ideal companion as a travel backup bag.
Simple and Functional Storage
The main compartment features a drawcord closure, allowing you to quickly open and close the bag while providing easy access to your gear.
The main compartment has a clean, single-compartment design with an internal divider along the back panel for better organization.
It also includes a hook-and-loop attachment point and a hydration hose port, making the pack hydration-system compatible.
A hydration system allows you to carry a water reservoir inside the backpack and drink through a hose without removing the pack. This feature is especially useful for hiking, trekking, and other outdoor activities where staying hydrated on the move is important.
Convenient Exterior Pockets
The front features a zippered pocket, which doubles as the bag’s storage pouch. Simply turn the pocket inside out to pack the entire backpack into itself for compact storage.
Stretch mesh pockets on both sides provide convenient storage for water bottles, folding umbrellas, and other essentials.
Comfortable to Carry
The lightweight shoulder straps are made with breathable mesh, providing excellent ventilation for enhanced comfort.
Each shoulder strap also features a stretch mesh pocket for small accessories, along with an adjustable sternum strap for improved stability while carrying.
A daisy chain at the bottom of the pack allows you to attach carabiners or other accessories, making it easy to customize the bag to suit your needs.
Perfect for Travel
A luggage pass-through loop on the back allows the backpack to be securely attached to the handle of a rolling suitcase. Pack it away while traveling, then unfold it whenever you need extra carrying space for souvenirs or additional gear.
EMPACKABLE 3L SLING
Capacity: 3L
Dimensions: 41.5 × 18.75 × 13.75 cm
Weight: 170 g
A Lightweight 3L Sling for Everyday Adventures
The 3L capacity is just right for carrying your everyday essentials such as a smartphone, wallet, and portable charger. Weighing only 170 g, it’s incredibly lightweight and ideal for travel, festivals, sightseeing, or everyday city use.
More Storage Than You’d Expect
The sling features a simple single-compartment design, but its generous depth provides surprisingly spacious storage for its compact size.
A zippered front pocket provides quick access to small items and also serves as the bag’s built-in storage pouch, allowing the sling to pack into itself just like the daypack.
Outdoor-Inspired Design
A front daisy chain lets you attach a carabiner or other accessories, giving the bag a functional outdoor look while allowing you to personalize it.
If you prefer to travel light while keeping your everyday essentials close at hand, the EMPACKABLE 3L SLING is an excellent choice.
