I got it like half priced and had never been used. Now, my husband bought his new from REI and come to find out, although his was new, mine

FWIW, my packing list is very similar to yours, even down to putting an extra daybag inside, and I'd take a basic toploader, but with a fairly specific layout (zippered quick access card pocket somewhere, laptop/hydration sleeve in the back compartment for my tablet, and a panel organizer/zippered p

I have the larger Alpa and the MLC30. I prefer the MLC. While Cotopaxi does have good organization, I often feel it works against my packing. I find it easier to organize with cubes in the MLC.

I'm currently on a 4 week trip living out of a Cotopaxi Alpa 35. The bag checks all of your boxes and is quite comfortable, don't overlook it. The Alpa comes in both 28L and 35L.

I have all three of these bags (though an older version of the Cotopaxi Allpa 28). I use the Patagonia most often but have traveled with all three within the last year or so. If you have a chance to try any of them on for comfort, that might be a deciding factor. Do you care about a hip belt? If so,

I'm not the original poster, but thanks for posting this. Just to confirm, your bag style would be like the green one on the left and your husband's bag is the blue on the right? https://onebagtravels.com/new-2024-cotopaxi-allpa-28-update-comparison/ The Allpa 28 seems to get mixed reviews on variou

I have a Cotopaxi Alpa 42 and it’s been amazing. It also seems to be a carry on cheat code? I was on a flight last week with a budget European airline where they were weighing literally all carry on luggage. My pack was pretty stuffed and they didn’t bat an eye — just waved me through. Folks seem to

i have the cotopaxi alpa del dia 28L and i’ve washed it a few times with no problems. delicate cycle, cold, scent and dye free detergent, and air dry! mine does not have any water resistant coating, i can’t tell if yours does. if this model uses the same fabric as mine, it should hold up fine in the
