A Backpack Built for Travel and Adventure
The Cotopaxi Allpa 42L Travel Pack was created to simplify travel, whether you’re flying across continents or heading on a road trip. Its 42-liter capacity offers ample room for extended weekend getaways or minimalist week-long trips. Unlike bulkier luggage, this pack keeps everything organized without weighing you down.
Its carry-on compliant size means you won’t have to deal with baggage claim delays, and its rugged build makes it just as suitable for trekking through bus stations as for slipping into an overhead bin.
Smart Suitcase-Style Opening
One of the standout features of the Cotopaxi Allpa 42L is its suitcase-style, full-wrap zipper opening. This design allows you to open the bag flat, making packing and unpacking effortless. No more digging blindly for items at the bottom—you’ll have visibility and access to everything.
The internal pocket configuration includes:
- 1 large compartment for clothing and bulkier gear
- 1 medium compartment for shoes or accessories
- 1 small compartment for toiletries or essentials
This thoughtful organization makes it easy to stay tidy, even when you’re constantly on the move.

Comfort for Long Journeys
Carrying a fully packed 42L bag might sound like a challenge, but Cotopaxi designed the Allpa with ergonomics in mind. The padded shoulder straps contour to your frame, while the tuckable hip belt helps transfer weight to your hips, relieving pressure from your shoulders.
When not in use, both the straps and hip belt can be tucked away neatly—perfect for checking your bag or storing it in tight compartments.
The addition of three grab handles (top, side, and bottom) gives you flexibility in how you carry or lift the bag, making airport navigation or bus boarding stress-free.
Designed for Modern Travelers
Today’s traveler carries more than just clothes. The Cotopaxi Allpa 42L includes a padded, fleece-lined laptop sleeve (fits up to 15″), ensuring your tech stays safe during transit. The sleeve is easily accessible, allowing you to breeze through airport security.
There’s also a front zip accessory pocket with internal organization and a key clip, plus a stretch mesh water bottle pocket that fits bottles up to 1L. Small details like these make a big difference when traveling, giving you easy access to essentials without rummaging.
