"I’ve been wanting a Cotopaxi travel pack for ever and I should’ve done it a long time ago because this is a traveling game changer. Perfect size whether you’re going away for a long weekend or pairing it with the Elqui 18L daypack for traveling abroad. Does not hurt the shoulders (and I fill that bad boy up lol). Exactly as pictured with great quality. Thanks Cotopaxi!"
"We live on our sailboat and this is my daily. go bag! I had previously owned this bag for 6 years using the pack on my weekly island hopping adventures and recently reconnecting with the team at cotapaxi I had the amazing opportunity for another bag due to the condition of my original bag since I was pretty rough on it most likely far more than most. I was traveling to a remote island each week and taking multiple boats and ferries to get there. Where sometimes others were handling my gear it getting tossed around for 6 years eventually led. to the dry bag material on the outside to start to peel. Pretty standard since it spend. longs days in salt sun and wind! Best company and I'll always be a customer! I highly recommend this pack if you're a outdoor adventurer or even a concrete jungle lover you're going to enjoy this bag."
"I’ve been wanting one for awhile since I travel a lot for short trips with work. It’s perfect for a few days getaway and definitely keeps it more organized than my previous bag. No regrets here!"
"Purchased this bag for my trip to walk the Camino in Spain. Just home and the bag was AWESOME!!! Bought it on my son's recommendation and I was not disappointed. The bag is a great size, has just the right amount of compartments for organizing, adjustable shoulder and hip straps that can be stored easily inside bag when not in use (when checking bag for flights), three separate handles for easy transport when not using shoulder/hip option and most importantly for a chronic overpacker - super strong zippers and stitching to hold it all together!! The bag took a pretty good beating (all cosmetic, no damage) during transport and got quite dirty, but it held up well and a little spot cleaning should do the trick to spiff it back up. I would highly recommend this bag for the action adventure traveler looking for something between a true "backpacking" pack and a suitcase."
"Due to a design flaw in the backpack's structure, the right side lacks sufficient fabric allowance. This leaves that section of the zipper exceptionally tight compared to the rest of the bag, making it difficult to pack properly on that side. More importantly, this creates excessive tension along that part of the zipper, making it very likely that the fabric will tear or the zipper will break over time. It is disappointing for a travel-oriented backpack—especially one past its first generation—where this type of structural design issue should have already been addressed."
"I bought the 42 lt pack around 4 years ago and at the time I was hoping I was buying a pack that would last me a lot longer considering how expensive it was and they still are. I love how spacious the pack is, I used it in various multiple week (close to a month) trips. I love the different compartments that it has that allow you to organize your things more effectively. The original design and color made for a backpack which was esthetic and comfortable to carry around. Unfortunately, about a year ago the outside material which had a nice rubberized feel to it began to fall apart / peel off. Every time I use it now, wherever I place it is just left with a bunch of pieces of the pack. Now my pack looks like this and well I feel somewhat embarrassed to use it so I've started looking for a new pack to invest in hopefully this time one that will last a lot longer. I've realized that I'll have to go for other material heavy duty nylon if I really want it to last. I'm honestly not sure if they continue to use the same external material on the front face of the pack or not. But if they do you can expect this to happen to your pack after a couple of years and well... It's sad really. It's a shame the material used wasn't more durable because I really loved the bag and have traveled all around with it and have created lots of amazing memories"
"I feel like this is the best piece of luggage for travel I have ever bought. Love the how you can open the pack up and the organization of the pockets. Love the easy access to my computer and it still fits under the seat on a plane. Now I just need to get Cotopaxi’s roller bag!"
"Looking forward to many exploration travel experiences with the Cotopaxi Allpa Travel Pack. It's convenient design as a backpack and carry on for wandering through Europe and beyond from planes to trains to buses and hiking make it perfect."
"My wife wanted this bag for a year, when we finally got it she couldn’t be happier. The zips are all high quality, and the material itself feels and looks really sturdy. We haven’t traveled with it yet but it seems more sturdy than a competitors bag we have at home and that one is pretty good"
"I had used my sisters’ 42L a couple times and decided to just bite the bullet and get my own. This is a great carry on bag/backpack that has been wearing well and will last for years!"
