The Cotopaxi Allpa 35L and Fjallraven Splitpack may both have a 35-liter capacity, but the Allpa 35L carries that load in a more compact, carry-on friendly batch. At 51 inches deep, the Allpa bests the Splitpack's 28 inches, making it a more space-efficient choice. The Allpa 35L's 1680D ballistic nylon material ensures longevity. In comparison, the Splitpack's G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco blend of polyester and cotton guarantees robustness with an environmental touch.

The Splitpack's height and width exceed the Allpa 35L's dimensions, resulting in a larger backpack. Where it avoids bulk in depth, it makes up for it in overall size. Its weight is lighter by a fraction. If you're a digital nomad, the Allpa 35L pulls ahead with a laptop compartment that accommodates a 15-inch laptop - a feature the Splitpack lack.

Differences in a nutshell:

-   Cotopaxi Allpa 35L's dimensions are 20"H x 30"W x 51"D versus the Fjallraven Splitpack's 28"H x 48"W x 28"D
-   Allpa 35L weighs 1.5 pounds, while Splitpack is a slightly lighter 1.15 pounds
-   Laptop compartment: Allpa 35L accommodates a 15-inch laptop; Splitpack has no laptop compartment
-   Material: Allpa 35L - 1680D ballistic nylon; Splitpack - G-1000® HeavyDuty Eco blend of polyester and cotton
-   Airline compatibility: Allpa 35L wins with 80% airline compatibility versus Splitpack's 30%

When it comes to buying reasons, reviewers laud the Allpa 35L for its comfort, should straps, and additional goodies such as a collapsible mesh laundry bag. They praise its internal organization, labeling it "intuitive". On Splitpack's side, an ingenious design transforming it from a backpack into a duffel bag, combined with high-quality materials and a choice of colors seem to be its pulling factors.

In a final standpoint, despite both bags carrying the same liters, they cater to unique users. The Allpa 35L seems like a smart choice for digital nomads who need space organization and laptop accommodation. However, the Splitpack shines for those preferring a bag doubling as a duffel and backpack. Choose according to your needs.
