Carry-on everything needed for weeks in Europe!
Carrying on board my flight everything needed for a tour of Central Europe in my 42L Allpa travel pack. I was initially concerned that the pack might be too large or heavy when fully packed for my small frame (I’’m 5 ft 1, in my mid-60s), but the Allpa is designed to fit well and distributes the weight so that even fully loaded the pack is manageable, even for smaller women. The air mesh straps are comfortable and the colorful design increases the pleasure of carrying the pack. I’ve travelled with backpacks for five decades, but the lightweight ingenious suitcase-style design makes the Allpa much more convenient.

Perfect Carry On Backpack.
Love the organization of this bag! So convenient to carry m things all on my back rather than rolling a suit case. Fits in the overhead bin perfectly!

Perfect travel bag
The Cotopaxi 42L Allpa is hands down the best travel bag I have ever owned. It swallows up everything I need for a weeklong trip yet still fits easily in overhead bins. The layout is genius. The suitcase style compartments make packing organized and stress free, and the exterior laptop sleeve is incredibly convenient for quick access at the airport. The shoulder straps are surprisingly comfortable even when the bag is fully loaded, and the luggage pass through strap makes rolling through terminals effortless. The bag feels tough enough to handle years of travel and still looks great. I have tried other travel packs, but nothing comes close to the thoughtful design of this one. If you want a reliable, versatile, and stylish pack for travel, the Allpa 42L is worth every penny.

Very excited to use this
Obsessed with the way it opens and all the compartments. I’m able to fit so much and the waterproofing is great

Useful but awkward size
Doesn’t comply well enough with easy jet, BA, and Ryan Air carry on allowance. The inner mesh seems flimsy.

Love this bag!
This is my favorite travel bag! I previously had the 35L which was sadly lost forever by an airline. Went for bigger this time and was worried about it seeming too big and it really doesn’t, especially if not overpacked. I have never had an issue using it as a carry-on. Nice to have the easily accessible pockets on the outside and water bottle holder.

Xmas Present
Husband is going to love the new Alpha 42L. He had the older one but really wanted the place for his water bottle. He is going to LOVE it :)

All you need is this perfect bag
My new Allpa 42L is perfect for traveling. It has lots of room and the pockets keep me organized. I’m able to pack all I need for a week trip (could probably fit more). I love all the pockets and the ability to tuck the shoulder straps and carry it like a suitcase. I got the black…you know black goes with everything!😁

Yay!
I have not yet taken this pack on our upcoming three-week international trip, but I did a practice run of packing this morning and found I’m going to have room to spare and in such an organized, handy way! I acknowledge it’s a pricey pack and I had a bday and help from a sweet family member to purchase. But so far so so good!
