Product Description

The Cotopaxi Allpa 42L Travel Backpack is built for adventure-heavy itineraries and longer journeys where packing space matters. The intuitive suitcase-style opening makes it easy to see and access everything, supported by a smart internal layout with one large, one medium and one small compartment—ideal for separating clothing, toiletries, and accessories. The front zip accessory pocket offers quick access to travel essentials, and is compatible with the Allpa X Hip Pack for even more organisation.

Carrying comfort has been significantly improved thanks to redesigned air mesh shoulder straps, better weight distribution and a hip belt that tucks away when not in use. The roller bag pass-through strap helps you glide through airports with ease, while the exterior stretch water bottle pocket adds everyday convenience. Built from recycled TPU-coated and ballistic ripstop nylon, the Allpa 42L is designed to withstand heavy use while staying lightweight and comfortable. With anti-theft YKK zips, three grab handles and multiple gear loops, it’s the ultimate travel companion for long trips and explorers who like to stay organised on the go.
