Columbia Tamolitch Daypack
Columbia Tamolitch backpack review
Columbia offers a daypack for those who need a go-to bag for all of life’s adventures. At 23.7 liters, the Tamolitch is a good size for women and people with smaller frames who don’t want a backpack that is too bulky. The main compartment is surprisingly roomy and the various pockets and organizers are perfect for daily carry. We especially like the separate tablet pocket below the laptop sleeve in the main compartment.
For the adventurous, the Columbia Tamolitch can also be used as a light hiking daypack or travel backpack thanks to its water repellent Omni Shield fabric, stretchy side water bottle pockets and front stash pockets.
What we like
Versatile multi-use backpack for school, commuting, days outdoors and can even be used as flight carry-on.
The price is right - If you wait for a sale, you can often purchase this backpack for under $50.
What we don’t like
Quality of the zippers, threading and construction is not on par with brands like North Face and Patagonia. You get what you pay for.
