The Cotopaxi Allpa 28L Travel Pack is a travel bag that doubles as a laptop backpack. Cotopaxi lists a 15 in. padded, fleece-lined laptop sleeve, a suitcase-style full-wrap zipper opening and an interior with one large, one medium and one small pocket. Security comes from anti-theft YKK zippers and a lockable main compartment. Shells are 100% recycled 840D TPU-coated nylon and 840D ballistic ripstop nylon with a PFAS-free water-resistant finish, and the lining is recycled ripstop polyester. Three grab handles, four webbing loops, a tuckable waist belt and a pass-through strap for roller bags round it out. It holds 28L, measures 19 x 12 x 9 in., weighs 2 lb 8 oz and is sized as a carry-on. Cotopaxi says it replaces bags with manufacturing defects for the life of the product. At $205 it is the priciest pick and bulky for a daily commute. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bag.
