Cotopaxi Allpa 28L Travel Pack Del D a Dark Random Color One Of A Kind No Bags Are

I regard this as a "travel pack" as stated in its description. There are better packs for hiking. However, this pack is great for a few days on the road, or (as I plan to use it) for a carry-on when I still need to check luggage. The internal layout is great and helps keep one organized. Its good for keeping a back up outfit or two available in case your luggage gets lost. Holds laptops, your sundries bag, a couple of outfits, underwear, and of course other gear, batteries, cell chargers, etc. The side with the two zipper compartments is actually as large as the one on the opposite side with an additional, smaller compartment over the top of it. More space than I thought. It has decently cushioned shoulder straps and a narrow waist belt than can be tucked away when not using. The shoulder straps cannot by stowed away. Read more

I’ve been in the market for a new black backpack for years now. The previous bag I purchased I had for about a decade. What I love about this bag is that I can carry it on my back but also bring on planes yet can carry so much. I absolutely love the compartments! I no longer take a suitcase because I can carry my on plane items as well as three nights worth of clothing. I do think it was unnecessary to have another slot for a second computer or iPad. Just adds more weight and unnecessary compartments but whatever! The belt quality is on point, super comfortable, and the zipper quality is fantastic Read more

Pack seems small on the outside, but I was able to pack 8 days worth of clothing (colder time of year, more layers = more items). If it would have been summer I could have packed a lot more. Sturdy. Comfortable. Grab handles are awesome. Zips and opens opposite of my daily pack, the Cotopaxi Tasra, which took a second to get used to. Not an issue though, just thought it was strange. Water bottle pocket is decent. Not my favorite h20 pocket, but it may be just because I had the pack stuffed full so it was more difficult to get the bottle in there, not “hard”, Just not as easy as I thought it should be (24oz Owala if wondering). Overall, I think this is the best pack for travel out of the many many many packs I’ve used. It exceeded my expectations for what I’d want for a week+ trip in one bag. I’d buy it again today if needed. I Love it. Read more

I travel a lot, from airplanes, to cruise ships, automobile, and train. The demands on the right travel packs is important, and the size and durability are top on the must need for me. I chose the 28L Allpa mainly because I have used other 40L, 50L and 60L packs, and the right weight and comfort seem to land me at 28L. I do marry this pack with the Cotopaxi 38L roller for my complete travel plans because I normally have between 35-60L of stuff I pack for a 1-2 week vacation. The 28L is a great 1-2 day bag. It can hold for me 3 pair of socks and underwear, 3 shirts, 2 pants, 1 pair of shoes, shaving kit, tech bag and 13" laptop. Depending on the season, you may be able to pack more. When fully packed the Allpa sits comfortably on the back, and it has adjustment straps and a hip strap if needed to more adjustable comfort. The clam shell opening is great for access, and the mesh netting provides a bit more stability when packing and closing. The outer construction is a nice weather resistant material, and the side mesh water bottle pocket is a nice touch. There are handles on the top and bottom, and one on the side opposite of the bottle holder, which makes it ease to lift in and out of over heads, trunks, or under seats. The 28L Allpa can fit under a seat for plane travel, even fully packed. There are a total of 4 different compartments (zipper) that can be used, one small one in front for money, wallet, cellphone charging cable, a 1/4 zip pocket that can hold toiletry bag, keys, small items, the main compartment with has a full mesh zipper side and another side that is 3/4 size for shoes and other compactable items. The back has a velvet pocket that can fit up to a 15inch laptop, and an additional sleeve for a tablet of portable screen. All the zippers are color coded so you can know what compartment you are opening, and they are YKK durable. You can get the Allpa in a larger size, but I found this size manageable for me and my needs. Read more

I think it’s a very nice travel pack. It has a lot of storage and has a simple design. Which I really appreciate. Read more

I’ve waited a bit to review but after several trips, including a 2-week bike tour in Europe I’m needing to give a shout out to Cotopaxi. This holds virtually everything needed with perfect pockets and solid construction. I’ve even began using it instead of my Tumi briefcase for work trips. Always get compliments on fun colors!!!

Love this backpack. Great for travel. Big enough to be a carryon and might be small enough to fit under an airplane seat (I haven’t tried yet). It is super lightweight and sturdy. Only detractor would be that it can hold enough stuff that it can get heavy on your shoulders when it might be easier to use a wheeled carryon suitcase. Read more
