Adventure-ready organization with the Allpa 42L Travel Duffel
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Allpa 42L is my go-to for any trip where I need to move fast between locations. The removable hip belt and backpack straps make it super comfortable to carry, and I love how the full-wrap opening gives me total access to everything inside. The TPU coating has kept my gear dry through some serious downpours."
Wherever our travels take us, the Cotopaxi Allpa 42L Travel Duffel keeps our gear organized and protected in a comfortable package. This duffel has a removable hip belt and backpack straps, so we can haul our cargo while island hopping from hostel to hostel, and the durable, TPU-coated materials keep light rain from soaking our gear. This pack has plentiful organization options, including internal zippered mesh panels that keep our clothes tidy and quick-access external pockets that keep our smaller essentials nearby.

42 L travel pack
I love this for a weekend away and is perfect carry on. I appreciate the compartments to separate dirties from lean if heading away for training or a race.

Amazing Bag
This replacement bag is a lifesaver for us. The lifetime warranty is truly remarkable. Our old bag has been on countless trips around the world, and it barely showed any signs of wear or tear. It has endured various weather conditions and survived numerous flights. When it finally gave out, they promptly sent us a new one without any hesitation. To make it even more special, they allowed us to keep our old bag as a keepsake.

Great product, but too big
I ended returning it and exchanging for the 35l. I love everything about the bag but the size was just not practical to use as a carry on.

The Allpa 42 L is an excellent pack!
Best travel pack I’ve ever had. Packed for 2+ weeks in Europe, partly in an Italian city so needed nice clothes, partly for hiking, and partly for a sailing trip in the Greek islands — and took into account little to no opportunity for laundry. So, packed A LOT into that one bag, and it still qualified as a carry-on. Love the extra pouch on top that still held toiletry kit and book despite the main pack being stuffed to the gills. Also love the compartmented interior. Probably didn’t even need packing cubes, but felt they would keep me organized between the various activities. You won’t regret this purchase!

Just like my suitcase but better
This bag is perfect because since it not a hard shell you can really squeeze a lot of extra items in and just compress the bag before zippering it shut. Backpacking SE Asia is a lot easier with this size as it’s not too big and airlines haven’t made me check it either unlike a 50L bag used by a different brand in the past.

Perfect for a carry on!
We have a similar one from Osprey but it was enormous for me (5”0), so I found this. The color is fun, and has a lot of pockets that are well suited for laptops, passports, etc. . I can’t wait to use it for our next trip!

My 42L and me
Not only do I enjoy the color, I enjoy the comfort fitting and the space it provides where you can put many things inside.

42 L travel backpack, 4 jackets and a dress
Love all the products purchased - the backpack has already been thru Portugal and the Scotlands Highlands on a backpacking adventure - on my daughter's back - and held up very well. The jackets has been distributed to family members who are thrilled with their new duds - vibrant colors and versatility. Thank you for constructing such excellent products!

Beautiful design meets practical functionality
This pack is beautiful and not just in colors, but also in the design of how it all works together for any of our travel plans.
