Cotopaxi Allpa 28L Travel Pack vs Patagonia Black Hole 32L Travel Pack

My only complaints are the laptop compartment and lack of luggage strap/pass-through. As other reviews have mentioned, it’s difficult sliding my 13” MacBook Pro in sideways when the bag is packed. If the compartment had a bit more structure/separation from the main interior it could be a bit easier. I also feel the lack of luggage pass-through was a miss, especially since there’s already a panel to tuck away the shoulder & waist straps

Since I use the backpack for EDC i usually only zip it open on the side of the backpack and access my laptop that way. But I guess it's nice to have the option of opening it all the way when traveling eventually opens up again.

I really like the compartments. You might still use packing cubes, but if you're not going nuts the zippered mesh actually does a nice job all on its own.
