Cotopaxi Allpa Duffel Bag

Yes, the bag features a removable harness and stowable straps that allow it to function as a backpack. While it is comfortable for navigating terminals or short walks, it lacks the structured frame and suspension system of a dedicated hiking pack, so it is best suited for travel rather than trekking.

The bag is constructed from TPU-coated 1000D polyester and 840D ballistic nylon, which are highly water-resistant and durable. While it will protect your gear from light rain and splashes, it is not fully submersible or waterproof.

The bag includes a dedicated compartment at the bottom specifically designed to separate your worn clothing from clean gear. This helps keep your main compartment organized and prevents odors from spreading to the rest of your items.

At 70 liters, this bag is generally too large for standard airline carry-on requirements. It is designed as a checked bag for extended trips where you need to pack significant amounts of gear.

The daisy chains allow you to clip extra gear, such as carabiners, water bottles, or travel accessories, to the outside of the bag. This is useful when you need quick access to items or have run out of space inside the main compartment.

The Allpa 70L weighs 45 ounces, or approximately 1.28 kilograms. Its robust construction prioritizes durability, so it has a bit more structure and weight than a standard lightweight duffel.
