At Cabaia, we love transparency… and practical bags. So, let’s break down why we list our bags at 23L and what that really means.
In the world of backpacks, capacity is often a numbers game. Take roll-top backpacks, for example—you know, the ones with the rolled-over flap. Many of them are advertised as 25L. Sounds spacious, right? But once you actually roll and secure the flap, your usable space shrinks to 10 to 15L. Brands often use the maximum possible dimensions, which don’t always reflect real-world capacity.
If you’ve done the math, you might have calculated a real volume of 17.7L for our Adventurer Medium—and you’d be absolutely right! But our bags are designed with a wide-angle opening, meaning those 17.7L are 100% usable without wasted space or Tetris-like struggles to fit your things. While other brands inflate their numbers, we focus on functionality and practicality.
So why do we say 23L? Because 23L is the standard capacity used for "medium-sized" backpacks across the market. If we only listed the strict volume, our bags would unfairly seem smaller compared to models that display inflated numbers—often without the ability to actually use that space effectively.
The real question is: does this bag fit your daily needs?
We invite you to try our bags—you’ll be surprised by how much you can fit inside! And don’t worry, if you order from our official website and find it too small or too big, you have 14 days to return it for free.
