Cotopaxi Elqui 24L Backpack

No problem, here it is with what's available.

Cotopaxi Elqui 24L Backpack

A versatile, feature-rich 24L daypack built from 100% recycled nylon for full days in the mountains where you need real organization, hydration capability, and enough storage for everything the day demands. The Elqui covers the gap between a minimal daypack and a technical hiking pack without overcomplicating either.

Why We Carry It
It's the daypack we recommend for hikers who want a hydration-compatible pack with serious organizational features and a comfortable carry system for full mountain days without stepping up to a larger technical pack.

Highlights

• 100% recycled nylon shell with PFAS-free DWR and PU backing — A water-resistant, durable construction from fully recycled materials. Sheds light rain, snow, and spills without the environmental concerns of traditional fluorinated treatments.
• Dedicated hydration sleeve for bladders up to 3L with hose pass-through — Ready for a hydration bladder out of the box without additional modification. The hose pass-through routes cleanly through the pack for on-the-move drinking without stopping to dig out a water bottle.
• Front panel opening for easy packing and organizing — A full front panel zip that opens the main compartment flat for easy loading and access to gear at the bottom without unpacking everything from the top.
• Side zipper for easy access — A secondary entry point that reaches into the main compartment from the side without opening the top or front panel. A practical detail for retrieving frequently needed items mid-hike.
• Stretch harness pockets for phone access — Quick-reach pockets on the shoulder straps for a phone, gels, or small items that you need without removing the pack or reaching behind you.
• Stretch mesh dump pocket on front — Oversized front pocket for wet layers, sandals, a helmet, or anything that doesn't need to be packed neatly. Large enough to be genuinely useful on full mountain days.
• Dual water bottle pockets — Accessible on both sides for right or left-hand reach without removing the pack.
• Trekking pole and ice axe loops — Secure attachment points for poles when the terrain mellows and you want your hands free.
• EVA foam mesh back panel with breathable shoulder straps — A comfort-forward carry system that promotes airflow between your back and the pack on sustained climbs and warm weather days.
• Adjustable and removable sternum strap and waist belt — A complete load management system that customizes to your body and removes cleanly when you don't need the added structure on lighter loads.
• Side compression straps — Stabilize the load and reduce pack movement on technical terrain when the pack isn't fully loaded.

Best for

Day hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who want a versatile, well-organized 24L pack with hydration capability, comfortable carry, and enough storage for a full day in the mountains with layers, water, and everything else the day demands. A strong everyday hiking pack for anyone who has outgrown a minimal daypack and wants more organization without stepping up to a technical backpacking pack.
