What reviewers said
- "I have wide shoulders and am not a slim runner's build, that being said this pack fits me great! Sometimes it’s hard to find good fast packs. I love this thing! I wore it on a 7 hour day hike w/ 2 liters of water, and then ran down 1000ft/mi descent all the while it stayed close to my body with no bouncing! Great minimalist pack, no fancy pockets or excessive zippers, only what you need!"
- "I’m a big fan of the Cotopaxi Tarak. Even ignoring the environmental and economical benefits of re-using materials, the Tarak is an exceptionally comfortable and competent day hiking pack that easily and readily extends itself to other outdoor sports. I love the styling of the pack and the durability is just about as good as it gets. But, we cannot discount how good of an idea of building such a complex piece of gear out of remnants really is. It is a pack that looks great, feels great, and is always catching the attention of those who see it. It is a great pack with a great idea behind it, making it a great purchase."
- "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." Einstein's famous maxim seems to have been applied to the Tarak Del Dia, a 20-liter skiing/climbing pack from Cotopaxi. Gone are the overwrought elements so common nowadays: excessive pockets, oversized buckles, superfluous straps, et al. Nope, the Tarak keeps it tight, with a streamlined design and just four storage areas: a large main compartment, an interior pouch for essentials, a zippered outside sleeve, and a standard top-flap pocket. A hook-and-loop closure system replaces the bulky main buckle of most packs, and the Tarak's side compression straps are about half the usual width. The shoulder straps and waistbelt are appropriately slim – this is a 20-liter pack, so unless you're lugging boulders up a mountainside, a bunch of extra padding is pointless."

Now into my second season with the Tarak 20L, I’ve found it to be a simple, and functional piece of gear that adapts well to mellow ski touring, day hikes, and longer mountain bike rides. The bright colors are just as endearing to me as their “Gear for Good” ethic, and the utility of the basic design gives it a broad-ranging versatility.
