## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Offers a good amount of functional internal organization that would keep things in place during travels.
-   Slim-looking bag despite that it can carry a lot of things with its 30L capacity.
-   The laptop sleeve is elevated which protects it from sudden drops.
-   High-quality craftsmanship and made from recycled polyester. With each purchase of this bag, you are helping the environment.

### Things to consider

-   An external small pocket for your quick-grab things will be a great addition to this bag.
-   Has no water-resistance properties.

## What reviewers said

-   "Replaced a smaller backpack I used mostly as a carry-on for international travel. My new Kathmandu 30 liter Cotinga pack is compact enough to go under a plane seat but large enough to be a day hiking pack. That convergence point is exactly what I was looking for. I travel with my 12.9 iPad Pro, which is well protected by an internal sleeve that accommodates up to a 15” laptop. Selection of internal pockets for securing pretty much anything."
-   "I've been using this pack a little over a month now, day in and day out for work, and I'm really glad I bought it. It's a solid backpack for my laptop, well-padded, and looks good too! There's enough room for a fleece and snacks, so 30L is plenty. I'm sure it'll come in handy for day hikes."
-   "I love this backpack fits all my stuff for work and my daily duties."
