I've been flying with my allpa 42 for six years with little issue. I liked the idea of extra room in a detachable sling bag. So far I like the better ability to organize,but wish there were strong grab handles on all sides like my previous pack. I like the bigger water bottle mesh pouch,but maybe have two or have it with the sleeve for laptops on the same side as the current grab handle.

I haven’t traveled with this bag yet. When I do hopefully I can update my review. I’m planning to use it during my European travels. I tend not to stay in a single place very long. Hotels for one night, on and off trains daily. First impression of the bag is that it will work perfectly for this. It’s incredibly sturdy and durable. It is smaller than I thought it would be although I am an over packer. My hope is to fit everything I would need in it for two weeks. I also LOVE the top part that comes off that can be used as a day pack.

I purchased the ALPA50 and have used it for one trip. So far so good. I like the detachable crossbody functionality and haven't found zipping it back on to be that big of a deal. Only one suggestion. I wish they had handles on more sides of the bad when it is in "duffel mode"..

I bought this backpack and packing cubes. The backpack is sturdy and well designed. I love that the packing cubes fit in just right and provide organization for the large compartment. The only downside is when the sling pack is attached and the backpack is open, the sling compartments are all facing down making them hard to reach and allowing contents to fall out when opening it. I still am glad I bought it and recommend it to others.

It’s wonderful! I just used it to pack for 5 nights for Sedona and it was fabulous

I was able to put all that I needed for two in Europe. It was easy to move around the many countries without the trouble of wheels. It’s roomy enough to put clothes, shoes and bathroom stuff. The top part is even big enough for an iPad. Or souvenirs.

I researched several two in one travel backpacks for an upcoming trip across multiple countries and, while they all had good capacity, none had the sea leashes of the Allpa 50L. I love how the spacious sling bag only takes up vertical space when attached, making trains / buses / narrow aisle travel easier. I use the main bag for my suitcase and the sling for my plane / train / auto bag.

This bag is amazing! It travels well on airplanes with lots of little zipped cubbies to store my quick essentials! I love the durable rugged material on the outside to resist stains and water. Highly recommend this bag when traveling on a plain because you have everything accessible to you should you need to get to anything quickly.

Really happy with the Cotopaxi Allpa 50L! It’s roomy, well-designed, and perfect for travel. My favorite feature is the detachable top section that can be used as a crossbody bag, which is super convenient for keeping essentials close while on the go or if the pack doesn't fit in the overhead bin. I like to pack my headphones and book in that and keep it with me on planes. Love the versatility!

I purchased this for my 6 months trip to Asia! And it has been amazing!

It’s everything I was expecting and more, bigger than I thought it would be but that’s even better. I’m still trying to find it in the Bronze color!!

This is a sturdy backpack. I love all the compartments available. This was bought for a 10 day backpacking trip in Europe and there is more than enough room. Highly recommend.

I previously had the Allpa 42L and decided to upgrade for the additional storage and detachable day bag. I love it!! Makes traveling so easy to be able to attach my under-the-seat bag to my backpack so I can have my hands free. The water bottle pocket is also very nice! Suitcase style design is very convenient for staying organized during quick trips. Overall incredible bag!

This bag is a 20/10. Perfect for a traveler who needs an organized and accessible bag. I love that you can zip the top off and have a fanny pack option

This bag is durable, stylish, and has plenty of pockets to keep everything organized. It is compact yet surprisingly spacious, with a simple but sturdy design. It's perfect for train and airplane travel. As a frequent traveler, I was first attracted by its design, but after using it, I found it to be incredibly practical, comfortable, and well-made. It has been an excellent travel companion.
