A stable, well-constructed hip pack with smart storage and bold design.
Cotopaxi says:
With a padded and contoured back panel, a wide hip belt for improved comfort, and a streamlined fit, the Kapai 3L Hip Pack takes the hip pack to new heights of form and function. This pack also includes thoughtful internal accessory features to keep your hands free while adventuring.
This hip pack was made from 100% deadstock fabric scraps, which helps keep good material out of the landfill.
Deadstock is leftover high-quality fabric that hasn’t been used by the original manufacturer or retailer. Using deadstock reduces textile waste and is better for the planet. On average, a product made with deadstock has an estimated 30% smaller carbon footprint than a product made with new fabric.
PLEASE NOTE - Each bag is unique, so colours will vary from bag to bag; if you are after a specific colour, please ring our customer service team.
Our Verdict
The Kapai 3L weighs 196g and offers a practical layout with enough room for essentials like a phone, compact layers, wallet and keys. The padded back panel provides structure and sits flat without digging in, while the wide hip belt distributes weight evenly and maintains its position during movement. A fleece-lined sleeve inside the main compartment protects sunglasses or a phone, and a front pocket with a key clip keeps smaller items accessible.
The materials feel solid, and the zip tracks run smoothly, even when the pack is full. The grab handle is helpful for transitions, and overall balance is good whether worn on the hip or front. Each unit uses surplus fabrics, meaning no two packs are alike. If you prefer a specific colour mix, it’s worth contacting Cotopaxi before purchase to check availability.
