"The Island Hopper is built to last and works great for short trips."
"I love Corsurf backpacks so much that this is my second round of purchase. I travel from the US to Europe very often and their larger backpack has allowed me to carry a lot more than usual in combination with my small roll on cabin overhead case. I travel light with all my trips with a laptop and two portable monitors and their larger backpacks fit all in the laptop compartmentZ. I love that these bags are waterproof and has multiple zip compartments that aloow me to organize my packing so beautifully! The secret pocket is a plus for passports and important/valuable items as it makes it impossible for oick pocktets to reach the items while you have the backpack on. Overall- Great backpack and great value for what you get!! I highly recommend!"
"I was considering a similar bag which was twice the price, however I was drawn in by the demonstration video. This is truly a WELL DESIGNED bag with a lot of thoughtful touches, including the mesh screen which keeps your stuff from falling out when you open it. there are also a couple of *bonus* zip spaces on the hip harness to put small items like keys, etc. I did some (city) trekking and probably went 5 miles in one go and the pack was SUPER comfortable! It's the exact dimensions of a carry on bag so plenty of room, even fit two pairs of shoes easily! I did get the compression pack add on which made a huge difference. I think actually for the price it beats out many higher priced bags."
"Love it! Only 2 things will make it perfect would had been 2 drink holders (1 is ok) and the trolley sleeve a bit wider. Besides that is almost perfect. First trip will happen soon! The shipping was super mega fast! That was unexpected! Made me happy!"
"The bag is as described, a well made and well thought out travel bag. Mine came with a torn zipper pull cord, which seems so easily replaceable that I'm not sure why it wasn't replaced before shipping it. Also, the toiletry bag is rather bulky, not the compact piece it was described as. But I bought it as part of a bundle, so I can't return just that piece. The packing cubes are sturdy, if not on the small side. The handles are indeed handy. You have to pack them about 75% full or you can't compress though. All around, a good product at a reasonable price. I would definitely get the bag again but sans the toiletry bag."
"Just used my backpack for a Japan trip, it was everything I was looking for the backpack and the pouches set…. I had some trouble with one of the pouches, but customer service was fast sending a replacement"
"I purchased the 28L I really liked the bag but unfortunately i needed something a little bigger so I returned it."
"I got this backpack for my son who is studying abroad in England for the semester and will he traveling to many countries. He took it as a carry on and fit a weeks worth of clothes, a Columbia jacket and many other other in it. He said it was easy to manage and he really liked it . I highly recommend it!"
"New to the idea of “one bag” traveling, the thought of a travel backpack was foreign to me as I always had a rolling suitcase. With airlines seemingly shrinking what a carry-on item is, I thought I’d take a shot. We have friends that have the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L & 42L packs that we were lucky to use on a Christmas trip. Seemed to be everything we needed and durable to boot. Started the rabbit hole of researching lesser expensive options (i. e. used) and came across the Cor Island Hopper series. Not near as much info on them on the web, but can honestly say, they do answer their phones and are very friendly and helpful! This was a decision factor in choosing them over Cotopaxi (never received a call back, only an email). They even offered to send a pack to demo and try, but wanted to offer an unbiased review. Utilized this pack for an extended weekend trip and was more than I needed space wise, should’ve brought extra shoes, lol. This bag is stout and will be able to take a beating for years to come. Having a brand new bag, the zippers are stiff, not unbearable, this offers some reassurance down the road. Utilizing packing cubes (another new concept for me) really aids in the space efficiency of this pack (may really only need the 28L pack). I like having extra space to bring all that I need though. Thank you for making a great product and standing by them as well! With the updates that Cor is taking and actually listening to their customers, they have set themselves up for the future. Would love to be able to try out some of their other gear in the future. Just buy it!!!"
"Great bag and bundle accessories. The description and accessories are as advertised."
