Cotopaxi Empacable 16L Day Pack

For strolling around town or travelling across the globe, the Cotopaxi Empacable 16L Day Pack is your easy-going travel companion. Lightweight, versatile and designed to pack away into its own accessory pocket, it takes up barely any room in your suitcase or duffel when you're not using it, then unfolds into a practical daypack when it's time to explore.

From city streets to scenic trails, the Empacable 16L keeps your essentials close without weighing you down. The cinch top makes loading your gear quick and simple, while the hydration sleeve, hydration pass-through and dual water bottle pockets help keep you refreshed; the breathable shoulder straps, adjustable and removable sternum strap and luggage pass-through make it just as handy for active days as it is for navigating busy airports.
