Cotopaxi Allpa 42L Travel Pack Del Dia - One Of A Kind! No Bags Are The Same!

The Cotopaxi Allpa 42L is hands-down the best travel backpack I’ve ever used. I took it on a 6-day trip to Auckland, New Zealand, and was able to fit everything I needed clothes, toiletries, makeup, shoes, even a few souvenirs with room to spare. I’m 6’4”, and the fit was super comfortable on my frame, with great weight distribution and no digging straps. The clamshell opening made packing and unpacking a breeze, and I loved all the internal mesh compartments for organization. It’s sleek, durable, and just the right balance of rugged and chic. 10/10 would recommend, especially for minimalist or carry-on travelers

This pack is our family’s favorite travel pack! My husband got one for quick trips. Then, I picked up one so we could use it for traveling to Peru for hiking. Currently, we just returned from Italy and picked up 2 more of these packs for our kids for the trip. No checked bags, easy travel on trains, it was amazing! Our family ranges from 5’ to 6’3” and this pack fits well for everyone. It has tons of different zippered storage compartments to get everything packed tight and organized. It has 4 internal zippered compartments as well as 2 external zippered storage areas: 1 padded for laptop , 1 for easy access essentials. It has held up well through multiple years of use. We most frequently use it as a backpack, but all the straps slide inside the pack so the straps can be protected when checking it on and it is super easy to do. It’s super light weight and the outer front shell is a more durable material which I highly recommend for durability.

Ok this bag is so great it’s not funny. I splurged and I’m glad I did. First off I fit a LOT in it. I went to FL for 5 days and packed like I went for 8-9 and I fit everything I needed and more. It was HEAVY but having the waist and chest straps helped in the airport. I had to gate check due to the overheads being full and was worried being a new bag but it came back looking like it did when I went in - great condition! The inside top left pocket was great for flip flops and underwear, the section under that for my blowdryer and makeup bag - it also extends up be under the small top zippered area so it maximizes storage. On the right I put all my clothes. In the small front pocket I put valuables that I didn’t want to risk opening often - money, sunglasses, chargers, etc and in the larger pocket I put a book, lip gloss, my phone, snacks, socks, etc. This is a great travel bag. I also love that it has a handle on the side and top so lifting for the truck is easy as well. Mines the teal color and I love that it’s not drab or too bright but a lovely color with nice accent zippers and a soft touch material. Buy it!

Many storage compartments & utilitarian. Looks great too. High quality construction. Small issue on the upper part of the main zipper, seems to catch a bit when fully packed. Oh. Also wish the zipper pulls were a little longer to more easily grab onto. But perfect size for weekend travel.

Expensive but great pack for traveling. Many pockets and zippers.

I already had the 28L in Evergreen which has been great for short trips or where I don't mind re-wearing the essentials. I wanted to get a bigger bag for longer trips, so bought this one in the del dia which, I admit, is a bit risky. I've gotten another bag in the surprise colorway and it was all primary colors. Truly hideous, and I returned it. Thankfully, this one was a cool color combo. If I'd had time to wait longer (needed it for a trip), I probably would have gotten the lemongrass. The thing that's a bit nicer about the planned colorways is the main cover is a rubber-treated cloth. Great for water-resistance and general wear. But, either way, this is a great pack. Fits in planes' overhead compartment no problem (even the smaller planes). I fit a cosmetic bag, three summer dresses, two swimsuits, one pair of pants, two pairs of shoes, five shirts, hat, bras/undies, socks. It has good space. I recommend any of the Allpa packs.

Just received this, and it looks to be exactly what I was looking for, and I am excited to use it for our trip to Japan. It opens like a real suitcase, it's lightweight and waterproof, it expands, and it looks nice. At first, I wasn't thrilled about the limited color options, but now that I have it, I realized it's probably the color I would have chosen anyway. The quality is very substantial and the zippers are solid and look like they'll hold up very well. I highly recommend.

CONS: Took off one star because the outside material will show scuff/ scratch marks. Used once and have one long scuff mark already. Over time, this is not going to maintain new look. Packed for 10 days and was able to still use as a carry-one on two different airlines. Weighed about 20# which doesn’t seem like a lot, but if you have to carry (vs. use as a backpack), it does become heavy. Many plus features as described in description which overall, makes this a good buy.
