Reasons to buy

  • Great harness system that is still comfortable to use even when fully packed.
  • Well-thought and functional organization inside the bag.
  • Comes with a rain cover which increases weather protection the bag offers.
  • Stowable straps make the bag convenient to store in overhead cabins and/or under airplane seats.

Things to consider

  • Can weigh a lot empty but that's because of the capacity it can hold which is a lot.
  • A bit bulky and may lose its overall shape depending on how you load your things into it.
  • A hip strap would be a great addition to this bag considering its size and capacity.

What reviewers said

  • "I bought this to pack light for a 10-day trip and it did wonderfully. Very durable, great organization sections, easy access, and good security. I was able to pack 2 pairs of pants, 9 tops, a dress, pajamas, a pair of shoes, a bathing suit, socks, undies, etc. I still had a bit of space left. It's even comfortable to carry when fully packed."
  • "This thing is super tough. I also bought the Cotopaxi Batac. It is designed to roll up and fit into the top pocket on the Allpa. Perfect to use as a laptop or hiking pack once I got to Asia. Also on the way back, I used both packs so I could bring back extra stuff. one goes in the overhead and one under your seat. I like this setup so much, I will likely use it instead of luggage going forward and for those that have to pay for luggage, this is a great solution. I was able to pack for a one-week trip easily. "
  • "There are lots of cool pockets! I'm not sure why the bag comes with its own rain fly when the outside seems somewhat water-resistant. I've also noticed after about a month one of the arm straps comes loose on its own and needs to be constantly readjusted, which is kind of a pain."

COTOPAXI ALLPA BACKPACK REVIEW
www.indietraveller.co
I found myself pleasantly surprised by the Cotopaxi Allpa. Its strongest aspect is the internal organization, which feels very intuitive and helpful. It might just be the best configuration I’ve used so far...I recommend the 42-liter size for any big trips, as it’s a maximum carry-on size backpack...If you’re looking for something sleeker or better suited for shorter trips, consider the Allpa 35

With its signature Cotopaxi look and massive amount of storage space, the Cotopaxi Allpa 42L could be a solid contender for your next one-bag travel backpack.

In short, the story of the Allpa is “everything you’d need, but not too much.” It has loads of organization but not so many pockets the pack becomes confusing. And it’s got lots of lash points but no ugly daisy chains running the length of the pack. There are several carry options, but you can ditch what you don’t use.
