Cotopaxi Allpa Backpack Review • Indie Traveller

Many of you have asked me to review the Cotopaxi Allpa backpacks. At last, I got my hands on the latest Cotopaxi Allpa 42 and tested it on a recent trip through Spain.

This colorful carry-on backpack comes from a responsible producer focused on sustainability and poverty alleviation, donating 1% of revenues through its Cotopaxi Foundation.

You’ve got to love Cotopaxi’s ‘Do Good’ credo, but they’ve also done rather well with this backpack design, which surprised me with its funky looks and solid organizational features.

Pros

• Best internal organization I’ve seen (no packing cubes needed)
• Fully adjustable hip belt (great for any height)
• Nice colors and design
• Included rain cover
• Can use as backpack or as duffle

Cons

• The rubbery 1000D polyester shell can be quite puffy
• At 4lb 3oz (1905g), it’s a tad heavy
