Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack review

Cotopaxi's Allpa 35L is a light, suitcase-style travel pack: a full-wrap zipper opens the main compartment like luggage, and an interior set of one large, one medium and one small pocket sorts clothes and small items. At 2 lb 15 oz it is the lightest bag on this list, and the shoulder straps and hip belt tuck away when you check it. The shell mixes recycled 840D TPU-coated nylon and recycled 840D ballistic ripstop with a PFAS-free water-resistant finish. Practical details include three grab handles, a stretch bottle pocket for up to 32 oz, a front accessory pocket with a key clip and a pass-through strap for a roller bag handle. The laptop sleeve fits 15 inches. Size is the main caveat: Cotopaxi lists 22 x 12 x 10 inches and describes the 35L as great as a checked bag or for airlines with generous carry-on allowances, and labels the 28L as carry-on size. Cotopaxi replaces bags with manufacturing defects for the life of the product.
