I recently picked the 35, older version, but it seems the interior buckle straps were already dropped. I do appreciate they included a waterproof cover since the zippers aren't watertight. I used the bag this past weekend for 4 days and it was more bag than I needed but I loved the functionality...!

Surprised this doesn't have 10x the views - superb quality videos man. Thanks for making these.

You can “feel” the cheapness of the material 😂🤣 that just sounds so funny I don’t know why ! 😅

your quality and personality is simply amazing :)

When someone who doesn't know anything about speakers compares speakers.

they made a new version of those bag, so yes you will have chance to buy another if this one ever get destroyed. maybe you should check the newer version for fun

Hey! Cotopaxi founder here. I'm a little late to the party here, but I loved the video and side-by-side review! I'm with you on how sad it is to lose the external access zipper to the main compartment - an unfortunate and necessary victim to the much-needed waterbottle pocket. My favorite addition might be that small external pocket on the front of the bag, that you also loved. I thought I'd add a couple small comments ... the handle you reference when using the bag as a duffle also doubles as a sleeve you can use to attach your Allpa onto a roller bag handle, which is an awesome feature if you're traveling with a roller bag. Additionally, we fixed my biggest pet peeve with the Allpa - I found that the old shoulder straps used to slide off my shoulders if I didn't buckle the sternum strap because the material was a little too smooth. The new shoulder strap material eliminates this problem. Thanks again for the amazing review! I'm glad you love the bag as much as I do!

Loved this video! I like my Altec Lansing speakers although they’re a pain to pair. I look forward to watching more of your reviews. 👍🏻

Sometimes the question is how long will it last? I had cheap speaker break on me after 1 ish year, it stopped charging, and I could never fix it even after watching some trouble shooting tutorials, so I got rid of it and ended up getting another speaker…

I purchased two of the Kelty chairs. Looks like I need a Loveseat too!

Great backpack! Fits my 46oz Yeti waterbottle in the bottle holder!

My favorite is the 2L lululumon belt bag and I hate saying that too 😂 because i don't even like the brand. But it has all the features of the 1L and a bit extra. It does have a double zipper, elastic straps instead of a buckle (although still a bit if a pain to readjust), and it fits my noise cancelling headphones and e-reader. What I also like about the placement of the clip buckle is that it's safer. If it's placed more towards your back, people can come up from behind you and unclip it without you noticing.

This is a great video and really helpful. Recently bough the 42 for an upcoming trip because I’m packing for me and my son. Was curious if I’d be able to use the 42 as a carry one and thought I should go get the 35. Based on your input I’ll keep the 42. Thank you so much.

I own 3 fjallraven kanken backpacks. Its a specific style for those who enjoy its use case. The material is insanely durable. Definitely not for everybody but at 5'2" I have a hard time finding packs that fit all my stuff, are comfortable on my small frame and don't swallow me whole. Fjallraven kankens FTW! P.s. I had my first kanken for 5 years and used it everyday. Still looks new.

Great review! Really appreciate the water bottle holder on the new version, such a game-changer! I don't have a Cotopaxi backpack yet, but looking into getting one at some point. Just love everything they sell haha.

Thanks! Really wanted some indepth info on this chair.

Amazing review. Extremely helpful!

Thanks for this comparison! I’m looking to buy my first one. To clarify: the old version comes with a rain fly and the new one doesn’t?

Great review, Cotopaxi seems to make a stout bag.

I got the 35 as I loved the purple color way but it is just way too small lol for my big and tall body's clothes lol. Bought a 42L so this is super helpful. I am going on a JAL flight in april and according to their standards the 42l will be like 4 over but I am hoping that is close enough lol

Did airlines ever gave you trouble to make it pass as a personal item instead of a carry on?

I did this too, i found they are really nearly identical.

Great video...I'm getting ready to purchase my first Cotopaxi 35 for a trip to Greece. I'm excited about some of the upgrades..

Just the video I was looking for, grabbing one of these for an upcoming international trip and leaning towards the 35 for international airlines but want the 42 lol.

I am on a hunt for a sling/hip bag combo. I love cotopaxi and have a couple of their 3L versions. Their Allpa line has awesome organization and comes in a few sizes. All of these you are reviewing are a little small for what I need (including my phone and wallet, it also needs to fit my Kobo ereader, a small first aid kit, and aranet 4 co2 sensor, epi pen and other small items). It's not a lot of stuff but it's bulky, so it can wear funny depending on the type of bag. Having organizational pockets is important. Thanks for this funny, but informative video!

I’d get the new one for sure

Just found your channel- thank you for your traveling gear & packing trips!

Croc, no way, just not good for plane if any emergency!

yes, the video we ALL want. I love my 35 for years now, and wondered the same questions! So hard to have the great additions, with all the unfortunate loss of features etc. Tricky choice, but thanks for this vid!

I can't decide if I want the Del Dia/Del Dia Dark version or one of the standard versions with the TPU outer layer. What are your thoughts @legacygoods9822? You mentioned you liked the fabric on the side of the bag more, I believe that's what the fabric is around the entire bag on the new one if you get a Del Dia version. I know some people on Reddit have had problems with the TPU flaking or scuffing when checked, but your bag seems fine, and I read that they changed the TPU coating so it's a bit lighter now. The Del Dia Dark is probably the most interesting color choice for me, but I can't decide if I'll miss the more rugged, more waterproofed TPU on the outside. Granted the Del Dia outer shell is still water resistant. I don't anticipate using my bag around the city as a backpack though, I'd likely carry a smaller day pack/packable day pack I guess.

Funny that I'm looking at getting this bag and stumbled on your review. Didn't even know you were doing this!

Nice video! Another feature they removed was the anti-theft straps for all of the zippers/compartments. It's one of the main reasons I haven't pulled the trigger on a new one because I really enjoy the peace-of-mind knowing that all of the compartments aren't easy theft targets, especially the one that is supposed to have your passport, phone, wallet, etc.

Thanks for the detailed comparison!

Super helpful. Liked and subscribed. Keep em coming.

Great review! I bought one for a trip to Kenya and loved it! Now they’ve updated it to include a water bottle mesh and other improvements. But I love my first one ❤

Best video comparison of the two. Thank ya sir!!

That's awesome but I mean it takes ten seconds to wash the dirty bowl with soap after two days its been sitting, and then put cold fresh filtered water. I dont need this. but Imma do it anyways.

How funny, everything you consider a miss is a major win for me. Just goes to show how different packing styles can be!

Great review! I am looking at the Allpa 42L for some upcoming adventures.

i have had the older version since april of 2023 when i took it on a 2 and half week trip to the philippines. i just got back from a 2 and half week trip to ireland/germany/austria. i’ve used it on many smaller domestic trips, camping, weekend trips, etc. i rave about this bag to everyone, and it’s a little upsetting some of the features they took away 😭 i think you nailed this review, but in my opinion some of the new upgrades can be supplemented on the old bag. the quick access pocket has saved me more times that i can count, i put my water bottle on a carabiner to hang at an anchor point, and put small quick access stuff in a fanny or sling. especially at the new price point of $225 (the old one was $200 when i bought it!) the upgrade doesn’t make sense to me. thank you for such a thorough review!!!

I had bought the Allpa 42, last year, specifically for the water bottle holder. I’m glad to see they now include it on all the Allpas.

Great review!

They also got rid of the raincover. So basically Cotopaxi saved money on the new version by removing features and still sell it like an upgrade. 😂🤷🏻‍♀

I thought the new “handle” is more of a luggage pass through? Either way, I never thought of using that as a handle!

I really appreciate the thoroughness of your review/comparison. This was really helpful for me, especially how you mention things like the feel of the fabric/buckles, not just pockets. Also liked how honest you were about the wear on your previous one, and just the fact that you actually USED it! Been watching backpack/pack comparison videos trying to get ready for my trip, but notice so many times all brand new items are reviewed and/or compared with brand new items. Great video!

Non removable hip belt and the reversal of the mesh panels on the main compartments on the new bag are deal breakers for me. While I like some of the other changes, I’ll stick with my old pack.

Great review. I got the new Allpa 28. I haven't had occasion to used it yet, but am so excited for the new features. One thing to note about the 28L is that the backpack straps cannot be tucked away like the 35L. You can tuck away the waste belt though.

Thank you for the thorough review!

Good 35l review
