Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack

The Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack is my go-to bag for any trip, whether it’s a camping adventure or a luxury vacation. The design is smart and functional, with plenty of compartments to keep everything organized. It’s comfortable to carry, durable, and fits easily as a carry-on. I love how versatile and well-made this pack is—it’s spacious without being bulky, and the materials feel premium. No matter where I’m headed, this is the only bag I need. Highly recommend for any traveler!

I’m a bit of a bag snob. I loved the brown and blue colours on this version and I love the clamshell opening of this bag. The 35L size is perfect for weeklong travel for seasoned packers. The 45L is just too big and gets heavy easily. My 15” laptop fits easily. I wish it had compression straps in the large compartment. I still use packing cubes, but you don’t have to with this bag.

I purchased this product for a 10 day trip. I wanted a bag that was light-weight, able to carry on my back, and with many compartments. This bag checked all the boxes. I got a color scheme that was distinguishable from other packs (say no to black cases). The exterior is pliable, but appears to be durable. The zippers are also very rugged, and the case has straps to prevent them from being opened easily by a thief. Aside from a zipper to the main compartment, there is another compartment on the front you can use to get quick access to select items (like electronics or meds or papers during your flight). One dig is that the fabric has a slight tightening 3/4 of the way up that causes the zipper not to easily maneuver. You have to stretch out the top flap a bit. I have gotten used to it. Multiple internal compartments, that you can (should) supplement with a couple packing cubes. It comes with a rain cover that I have never used as well as a waist strap that I don't use. It has a few other rings that you can hook things on, that I also have not used. Overall, this is now my go to travel bag. Definitely recommend.

I use this bag for everything, short and long term travel, hiking, overnights, etc. Every part is intelligently designed and they really cut no corners. There are loops that prevent the zippers from opening without you knowing, there is a way to enter a part of the main compartment without opening the entire bag. It opens completely like a book (or a suitcase). It has an outside padded pocket for a small laptop or tablet. It's sturdy with clips to hold it to your back comfortably. There is a removable back brace that contours your back making it nearly weightless when walking/hiking. Just 100% premium all around with double stitches, additional material to protect corners, an included water/rain protector that you can put over it. There are much cheaper bags (my room is full of them), but you absolutely get what you pay for. This bag is meant to last years.

I purchased the backpack for a recent trip and overall I am extremely pleased with how it performed. I was able to pack 5 days worth of clothes, a laptop, headphones, toiletries, a book and diary in the pack. I like all the separate pockets, it makes it easy to keep things organized but there are almost too many pockets as I kept forgetting which zipper opened which pocket from the outside. Zippers tuck under for security which is cool. I did get a white scratch on it from jamming it into the overhead bin but nothing a sharpie couldn't fix. I do have concerns about the latches on the strap and how long they will last but so far so good. I jam packed the bag and it was very comfortable to walk around with, the straps are padded well and didn't cut into shoulders at all. On my last leg flight, it was I believe an Embraer or one of the smaller overhead bin planes, they asked everyone with a roller bag to check it but because this a backpack I was exempt and it fit (with a little umpf) just perfectly in the overhead. Save me waiting to pick up my bad on the jetway. Overall very pleased, hope the quality of the bag holds over time.
