Allpa 50L Adventure Travel Pack

Just took a cotopaxi allpa 50L backpack on a two week trip around Europe. The top compartment detaches and you can use it as your personal item, while the rest of the backpack goes into the storage bin. Can’t recommend it enough

I think unless you can really streamline your packing, you're going to have a hard time with this. You're kind of asking for a sports car and a pickup in one, which isn't impossible, but it's challenging. So here's the quick advice, often referred to as a 1.5 bag. Find the biggest bag you're comfort

Onebagging isn’t a universal solution. It is a minimalist urban technique. I could handle low temps to 0f/-18c with a onebag kit, but lower than that is quite a challenge. Don’t buy a Peak Design bag. They are notorious for uncomfortable harness. I would look for a bag with a load transferring harne

The Jet Lag boys use Cotopaxi Allpa 35L backpacks (and in this latest season, Sam is using the new Cotopaxi Allpa 50L Adventure Travel Pack.) FYI both of these are pretty large to carry around for full days. I have the Allpa 28L and bring it as my only bag for trips of 1-2 weeks (it can fit a lot!)

We’re about to do 14 days in Italy and since it’s the holidays, I figured now is a good time to get him his own backpack duffel. He usually stuff my 42L full, so I want to get him something bigger but that he does

No, it's only useful in my opinion if you need to backpack it for a short time. The smallest size is carry on compliant but the weight alone eats into your allowed kg. Especially if you're using budgets like Jetstar that only give you 7kg. I buy top up if I'm using the 32L option. I've always used a

Many ultralight packs are frameless and need care loading to create a “virtual frame” by using sleeping pads and the like. If you don’t, the bag bows away from your back, putting the weight back on your shoulders. Some bags can use the compression straps to tighten the pack down to a point that it d

Cotopaxi Allpa 50L. Love that bag.

Looking at the Cotopaxi Allpa 50L looks great but expensive at €260+ for a bag! I do like the removable top part that turns into a day bag thus allowing the bottom part to be carried onto a flight as hand luggage. Anyone any experience with this model?
