The Cotopaxi Allpa 35L and the OPPOSETHIS Invisible CARRY-ON backpack are both some of the best in the market for your luggage needs. The Allpa is Cotopaxi's travel-ready, rugged and dependable carry on. It's made of tough 1680D ballistic nylon paneling, which contributes to its hefty weight of 1.5 pounds. With a substantial 35-liter capacity, it exceeds the Invisible CARRY-ON backpack by 14 liters. Despite the difference in space, both bags host 15-inch laptop compartments and enjoy broad compatibility with airlines - 80% for the Allpa and 82% for the Invisible.

The OPPOSETHIS Invisible CARRY-ON is a compact, lightweight carry on pack that exudes sleek minimalism. Weighing in at a feather-light 0.85 pounds, it's made from an 800x600D lightweight waterproof nylon-polyester blend. This material composition offers a better degree of waterproofing compared with the Allpa's ballistic nylon paneling. It's perfectly sized for 2-3 day trips making it versatile for both travel and everyday use.

So which one should you pick? Both bags are lauded for their versatility, durability, and thoughtful design elements. If it's space you're after, the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L is an excellent choice. It even includes a handy rain cover to protect your goods from the elements, and a mesh laundry and shoe bag for added convenience. However, if you prefer a lightweight, waterproof, and more airline-friendly bag, the OPPOSETHIS Invisible CARRY-ON offers excellent utility with its various organizational pockets and a secret compartment for your valuables. Whatever your preference, you can't go wrong with either choice.
