Allpa 26L Daypack

I was really hoping to love this bag. I was trying to replace my 10-year-old Patagonia backpack for day trips and personal item plane trips. But the bag doesn’t pack well. I felt like there wasn’t enough room in the bag, even though it was 1 L larger than my Patagonia bag. I think the main issue is that the bag packs long ways (up and down) and doesn’t have enough width. So, I ended up having to stack a lot of things. The black interior didn’t help when you needed to find items in the larger pocket. The inability to use the width space made it fill up quicker, so I felt like I wouldn’t be able to stuff it underneath the plane seat for personal items. Sadly, I had to return it after testing out packing my normal items four separate times.
