Spacious, durable, and thoughtfully designed, the Cotopaxi Allpa 42L Travel Pack is an excellent choice for extended adventures or efficient travel.
Cotopxi says:
The Allpa 42L Travel Pack protects and comfortably carries all your gear, whether it’s on your back, strapped to the roof of your car, or in the belly of a puddlejumper. The Allpa’s incredibly burly shell repels the elements and abrasion, while its padded, mesh suspension system and load lifter straps provide a comfortable carry during long walks to the hostel or all-out airport dashes.
Our Verdict
With a 42-litre capacity, this pack is large enough for trips lasting over a week while remaining compact and versatile for easy mobility. The suitcase-style clamshell opening offers seamless access to the main compartment, which features well-organised mesh pockets for streamlined packing. Dedicated padded sleeves for a laptop and tablet and multiple internal and external pockets make it equally suitable for work or leisure.
A standout feature of the Allpa 42L is its stowable shoulder and waist straps, which create a streamlined profile, making it particularly useful for storing overhead luggage compartments and international travel. The ability to transform into a sleek carry bag adds versatility, allowing it to adapt effortlessly to different travel scenarios.
The pack is constructed from TPU-coated polyester and ballistic nylon and offers excellent weather resistance to protect your gear in unpredictable conditions. Comfort is prioritised with a weight-distributing harness system, padded straps, and a removable hip belt, though it can feel bulky when fully loaded. Updated features like an external water bottle pocket, extra padding, and a rain cover enhance its functionality.
