Video Transcription

hello people and welcome to another video today we're going be doing a review of the cotopaxi kilimanjaro which emily has you might remember a while back i bought the Cuzco bottom back here I've been running this pack now for well over a year now I'm still moving it still I use it every single day actually and about six months ago nine okay no months ago now Emily decided she wanted one so I've got a one for her for christmas yeah and so she had the cotopaxi Kilimanjaro which is pretty much the same Packers what I've got but it's a slightly smaller one yeah my Cuzco if the of course goes twenty six liters enough for twenty leagues to pack that's what you're going to run over it again well it's the same features of stalker we're going to run out with this pack Amy's going to tell you why she particularly want to get why she likes so going from Italy material actually excellent it said to cotton nylon mix it has like a real cotton field i feels quite kind of cool things you can quite a traditional Corey nice material to the torch but it's fully waterproof well not fully awards for it what ya like it's not as well as it would be if you had a rain cover on it quote you'll do fine a rainstorm absolutely when we were in balance it was really wearing all day I'm about to get wet through it when you know yeah exactly so you can take an array store nothing's ever got way more rocks are coming the only thing but would have to worry about is the zips and if it was a proper rainstorm I might start to leak through zips and seams and support in terms of the fabric itself you haven't got a problem and you've got the suede buttons are ya on the bottom you got suede that's excellent because you can put it David and you know when you put rucksacks down a lot the bottoms are kind of the place where to start to wear quite a lot you don't get this because it's quite a tough material and because it's suede and not leather it's going to wear quite logically and all the zips awake okay guys yet boy kk zips which means it's really hard durable loops and they don't smoke either i know i always mentioned this in a lot more review videos but a height tips its tag and it's does not like at all and what else we got we've got to the particularly no logs my pack is the pocket system it's got quite a nice pocket layout system you obviously got the big section on the top which you use them for your normal stuff in front you've got two separate pockets you want to tell them what you so for the stuff i just put things i need to get quick access to like key for her anything like that and then in here this is really handy on holiday when we were in canada cuz we kept our travel documents in their degree though I just really easy to access and then in here document we kept our itinerary in there so that's really useful there as well and then obviously what you're too so I perfectly for you are adding a water bottle and I'm asking maybe we should probably mention the water bottles as well and and the same time is blowing the roof sir and I wanted you to a bottle from cotopaxi and they had several coolers but unlike the orange one and I figured Emily wouldn't like any near the darker colors we just bought your informs and and they're actually fantastic flasks I mean they're actually fair monsters well ah yeah the thermal and they are really good for my bottles and the thing I like particular about these problems is the mouth of it it's like it's not crazy boy like a nasty involve but it's not very tiny like a traditional plastic bottle it's just a nice size and to drink out also filling it from extremes as dolphins really it's really good so we were impressed by that hey what else is there yeah the front of the front panel is pretty much the same as knowing the front palette work with my friend Pamela is just literally that one which is slightly bigger just got more and inserts in it you've got little things antler was a yeah this clip was really useful in my pack I had this pick as well and I use that to keep my ear look at your keys on for my suitcase it's over getting lots of good young people pencil holders as well just it how do you Pro some shots of all this just go agency and yes what I read a little bit these work sucks or the stitching on the where the straps are connected to that to a backpack itself and you can see I'll do a close-up when you've got a closer criss cross stitch aims to reinforce it and I don't make a habit of carrying my rucksacks on one arm because I know you put more straight on one arm but I do do it and thunder thong with this rucksack especially going to and from work just for quickness and it's nice to have that extra durable thread and reinforced stitching just so you know you're not actually damaging your work suck when you're doing that that's pretty sweet and then you've got the adjustable straps at the phone yeah i mean the straps themselves they're quite worried for the lots of comfortable an opportunity you can slide that up and down to adjust to where you want it so I biet thus far just quite useful oh yeah so you got that adjustability I mean I have more a bit Midwife and I don't always put mine on and we had together Brooks up for Emily for Georgia stability god she's just got what's the polite way of saying no she has a bust there you go and see you off c4 females are doing of the adjustability because a typical looks like just show straight across and that won't work so you need to go a little bit higher and for a woman yeah and underneath the straps you have this mesh panel that's quite comfortable you can wear that with a vest and stuff it doesn't actually hit your skin at all through your padded like quite packing yeah it's a nice comfortable bag I've ever use it is a might as well we're sure to mention of the rock beat wraps of the rock sack they kind of curve in there not like a typical one that cooked rounds actually yeah you can put a seat well when I stuck this in see how that kind of curves over more like chest muscles some straps would stay there you just have a really long sternum strap but actually the actual shuts it on your chest you don't get that with all the sacks it just makes it really comfortable rocks active on a curry you've also got a waist strap I never use my butt and we've just always quite a fan of others there's like a little bit of elastic so you can keep all the things almost struck together but that's just quite a nice enough but lower Barry you never really Cohen look wait I don't think in these paths to work having that on do you like those then there's pretty much the same as the color as well because when I was really important in it yeah when when I got it I was worried about the cream because i was thinking it's just going to get really dirty but I had in nine months now I'm still pretty much what's new and then it got it a little bit dirty in Canada night yeah and then I had like it's quite all black appear and I just used a little bit of Sun with warm water and walking brush and it just came to strike out and it hasn't left any kind of mark or anything at all so I'm really pleased with that that is interesting because you would think that we're kind of staying a little bit because of the material is it has gotten like a has got like a porous material but i think it's the the waterproof quality of it that helps to kind of quality off staying to switch yeah which they just really clink the more upset so i think you should definitely go and check them out
