Cotopaxi 35L Allpa Travel Pack

Love my Allpa backpack! The straps make it so much more comfortable than my old travel bag. Tons of storage make it an easy go to for traveling.

Took first trip with our new Cotopaxi Allpa Travel Packs. She has the 28L and I with the 35L. Held an unbelievable amount of stuff yet was still comfortable in all that we did. Next trips will be testing air travel, but do believe that we have the ultimate in travel packs for most world travels.

I decided to switch to an Allpa 35 L from a competitors 30 L travel backpack. The main reason for was 30 L was just not enough for my use case. What I found is that with the Allpa I am able to bring along a lot more than a 5 L change because of how the space is optimized in this backpack. The backpack itself is comparable in many ways, but the areas that this backpack is ahead of its peers it’s comfort which means I’m able to go further and carry more. Another aspect in which this bag is superior is the layout I am able to access items from in the internal accessories compartment by only zipping the top of the bag, which is helpful for a quick access items that I do not want in my exterior quick access compartments. After trying out multiple bags of this size tear I am happy to have to Allpa 35 L as my one bag for years to come.

Had to make a last minute trip and ordered this bag keeping this in mind. I had to check in my bag as I was carrying three bottles of liquor. I was a bit scared that the bottles might break and purchased some bottle protectors as well as having fragile stickers placed on the bag. The bag performed beautifully during travel. It allowed me to keep multiple compartments for clean/dirty clothes, outside items, electronics and items that I needed easy access too. The zippers that allow me to use a TSA approved lock were just *chef's kiss* and just gave me an extra level of security. The ability to hide the straps and turn this into a baggage safe bag was a major plus. This bag essentially had features I didn't realize existed. Extremely happy with my purchase.

I'm in the middle of a multi-flight trip writing this review, so it might change but I'm just letting people know that I have had no problems getting this bag, packed at around 85-90% capacity (not stuffed to the gills, but pretty packed!) on planes as my underseat backpack. Your foot room might suffer a bit on smaller planes, but it's been a breeze otherwise! Also, the compartments are delightfully well-designed for easy packing and travel. Photos attached for underseat "how packed was it" comparisons. Finally, love that the water bottle holder actually holds my 40 Oz hydro flask!

Recently purchased the Allpa 35L. Received it and immediately went on a trip the next day. Trial by fire LOL. Worked perfectly for me and will for many years for sure.

I had been looking at these for awhile before I finally made a color choice. The Fig is beautiful. I love it. The bag is pliable (not stiff) making it much more convenient. I will never use a hard suitcase again. I had no idea how organized a bag could be until I stumbled over a video of a single gal & cat that live in a van (kudos to her). She was right, the multiple separate zippered compartments changes everything. Strategic packing! I have control now, where I didn’t before!! I can open a section and not have to juggle, fearing something will fall out. We will be purchasing the second one as soon as my spouse chooses a color. Thank you Cotopaxi for making traveling much more convenient but still lightweight.

I love the bag. Have used it for a weekend camping and a weeklong beach trip. Sturdy zips and able to fix all my stuff easily.
