Nazca 24L Travel Pack vs Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L

I really like the brand Cotopaxi and especially this bag. But the reasons I returned this bag was I am a beginner at minimalist packing and felt that the bag did not have sufficient space for my 2 week trip to Europe. I really wish the Nazca came in a 30 or 35 liter for amateur backpackers and minimalists like me. Even though I purchased the Cotopaxi Allpa which is awesome too, I will be re purchasing the Nasca 24l once I become a better minimalist packing for my trips

There is however, an elephant in the room that should be a deal breaker for every sane traveler - this bag is unforgivably uncomfortable to carry; and as that is the core function of a travel bag, I struggle to understand why so many people just gloss over it. It’s brilliant, amazing, oh and it’s a brick that carry’s like someone loaded 70kg into a Kanken and made you carry it. No amount of awesome design and fabulous ergonomics can cover it up - it’s big, heavy and completely over priced.
