Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack review

The Cotopaxi Allpa 35L is the pick for men who want a single carry-on backpack instead of a roller bag. Cotopaxi rates the 35L size for 3 to 5 days and lists it at 22 x 12 x 10 in. and 2 lb 15 oz. It opens fully like a suitcase, with three interior pockets of different sizes, a 15 in. padded laptop sleeve, a front accessory pocket with a key clip and a stretch bottle pocket for up to 32 oz. The YKK zippers on the main compartment can be locked, and the shoulder straps and hip belt tuck away if you have to check it. A pass-through strap slides over a roller bag handle. The shell is recycled 840D nylon with a water-resistant finish, and Cotopaxi replaces items with manufacturing defects for life. It is too big to count as a personal item, and there is no expansion zipper, so pick the 28L size if you fly basic fares. We compared documented features and published prices.
