What customers say
The Tago Drawstring Backpack, a vibrant offering from Cotopaxi's Del Día collection, receives overwhelmingly positive customer sentiment, primarily driven by its unique aesthetic and ethical sourcing story. Customers frequently celebrate the 'surprise' element of the Del Día line, appreciating that each bag is one-of-a-kind due to the use of remnant materials, which aligns strongly with the brand's sustainability mission and fosters a strong emotional connection with the product. Functionally, the Tago is highly praised for its lightweight design and surprising durability, making it an ideal choice for quick trips, gym visits, or as a secondary pack while traveling. Users highlight its perfect size for carrying essentials like a water bottle, light jacket, and small electronics without being bulky. The bag is often described as 'the perfect grab-and-go' option. However, as is common with simple drawstring designs, minor critiques occasionally surface regarding comfort during extended wear, particularly when the bag is heavily loaded, as the thin straps can sometimes dig into the shoulders. A few users also mention the desire for slightly more internal organization, though most acknowledge that the simplicity is inherent to the drawstring style and appreciate the lack of unnecessary bulk. Overall, the sentiment is exceptionally high, viewing the Tago not just as a functional utility bag, but as a vibrant, ethically-made statement piece that perfectly balances utility with Cotopaxi's commitment to sustainability and fun design.
Know before you buy
Because each pack is part of the Del Dia collection, every bag features a unique, one-of-a-kind color combination. You will receive a vibrant, surprise colorway that is distinct from the product photography.
The drawstring closure is designed for quick, top-load access. While it is secure for everyday essentials, it is best suited for casual use rather than storing small, loose items that could potentially slip out if the bag is turned upside down.
The Tago is designed for light, everyday carry and does not feature a padded laptop sleeve. It is best suited for items like a light jacket, a water bottle, a notebook, and other small essentials.
Yes, the pack includes a dedicated back accessory pocket that sits against your body, which is ideal for keeping items like your phone, wallet, or keys secure and out of sight.
The pack is made from durable nylon and polyester, which provides good protection against light moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof, so it is best to keep electronics in a dry bag if you are caught in heavy rain.
The drawstring cords serve as the shoulder straps, which are lightweight and minimalist. They are comfortable for short commutes or casual outings, though they lack the padding found on traditional technical hiking backpacks.
