Details & care
Our newly redesigned Allpas reflect our quest for pack perfection. While all the customer-favorite features of our bestselling packs remain, we made a few game-changing updates. New features include air mesh shoulder straps for an ultra-comfortable carry, better weight distribution, an exterior stretch water bottle pocket, and a luggage pass-through strap that easily slides over the handle of a roller bag (like our Allpa Roller Bags). Most importantly, our Allpas are now made with 100% recycled fabrics.

The Allpa 28L travel pack is very useful, with a well-designed interior distribution and extra pockets on top that help keep important items well organized and easy to find.

The zips are broken
I loved the color of this bag but I now have to replace it for another one as the zips came broken and jammed. It was a gift for my husband and was sad to see that it did not live up to our expectation. We are exchanging for another bag and hope it works out.

Didn’t work out
I’m 5’3” 110 lbs and this pack didn’t fit my frame. The shoulder straps were too thick and rode high digging into my neck, and the waist strap hit at an odd place not distributing support well. The smaller packs were all top loaders so not great for urban travel and served better as daypacks. I appreciate what Cotopaxi is doing but I had to move on. There was another petite woman sharing my experience when I was making my return. Hopefully there’s an opportunity for new designs to fill this gap and I can circle back another time.

Great for travel
I won’t officially use it for travel until next month, but I’ve already tried it out at home. Packed 4 days worth of clothes and a tablet since we’re already getting summer temps at home. I think I can pack a little more into it if I tried.
I packed t-shirts, shorts, underwear, socks, 2 slacks, 2 polo shirts, & a dop kit.
I will update after I actually take it on a trip.

28L travel pack
I recently purchased the Allpa 28L Travel Pack, and I’m genuinely impressed with its design and functionality. It strikes a great balance between style, durability, and smart organization.
The build quality feels premium right away—the materials are sturdy, water-resistant, and clearly made to handle frequent travel. I especially love the suitcase-style opening, which makes packing and unpacking super easy. The internal compartments are well thought out, helping keep everything organized without needing extra packing cubes.
Comfort is another big plus. The shoulder straps and back panel are well-padded, making it comfortable to carry even when fully packed. It’s also the perfect size for short trips or as a carry-on, fitting easily in overhead bins.
One of my favorite features is how versatile it is—you can use it for travel, work, or even as a daypack if you pack light. The sleek design also looks great in both casual and professional settings.
If I had to point out a small downside, it would be that the bag doesn’t have a dedicated external water bottle pocket, which can be a bit inconvenient. But overall, that’s a minor trade-off for such a thoughtfully designed bag.
Overall, I highly recommend the Allpa 28L Travel Pack to anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and well-organized travel backpack. It’s definitely worth the investment!
