Cotopaxi Allpa 35L vs Osprey Farpoint 80 Travel Pack - Men's

but it was just too big and heavy. The material always felt like despite being thick, thorny branches and whatnot would destroy it.

I purchased this bag for a vacation where I thought it would be easier to carry a bag then wheel thru the snow. Well, I ended up bringing my suitcase with wheels because I couldn’t fit half of my clothes in it. I don’t think it’s made for a week of winter traveling (lots of outdoor gear) although my husband had the same bag and fit all of his clothes. Guess it may have been the fault of the packer not fitting the clothes

It in theory is international carry on size with detachable waist strap. But holy cow they missed the boat on some CRUCIAL elements, chiefly a complete lack of compression straps and load lifters. If you don't stuff it super full it flops around on your back, but when fully packed it bulges out and down and while the straps are padded and should be comfortable they don't balance the weight at all. Also I'm not a super tall guy (5'10") but the waist belt hits at the bottom of my rib cage when the backpack straps are tight enough to stay on, not a huge deal as its removable but it means there is no help supporting the pack

These both adjusts with the cross buckle to give you support on your chest. It's really easy to put the backpack back on to the main bag you attach it...

You might not think it by looking at it, but I got all of my clothes and shoes for an entire two-month road trip, plus a few items I picked up along t...

There's no real pockets on the outside, because you're going to get that with the day pack, but you do have a lot of organization and a lot of access ...

-Zippers are quite robust and very theft-proof. -Stowable straps. This is potentially a game changer if you want to pass-off your 35L backpack as a personal item at the airport

Zipping them away made checking the bag worry-free! I love this bag and plan on putting it through more trips in the next few years!

- For a hike that is a few miles, I found myself constantly readjusting the straps. I REALLY wish the pack had top straps to bring the top weight of the bag in more. But this could possibly be resolved with what's chosen to be packed in the brain of the bag. I had all of my cooking gear in there

Instead of sitting across the middle of your chest, it rides up to your collarbone. Overall a very good pack, just has a few flaws to keep it from being perfect. Writing this after my 2 week trip backpacking. I'd still give it 4/5 stars but wanted to explain how it performed

I've never used a backpack that strikes such a great balance of comfort, fit, organization, and design. When I travel, all my gear goes in my pack, from my socks to my laptop. I can pack everything comfortably inside my Allpa, get whatever I need when I need it, and even put it under an airplane seat.

So you can really dial in that fit up top really convenient a very comfortable suspension system on the pack to keep this flap out of your way while w...
