I really appreciate that you show models of different sizes wearing bags for scale. Please, NEVER stop doing this as part of your reviews. It’s insanely helpful to see.
I love the Bellroy compartments but biggest "issue" to me is no water bottle pocket. For that I will go for Allpa. But Allpa materials seems have delamination issue.
@@PackHacker2 I reported them to UA-cam, they also appeared to have stolen from one of @chasereeves videos. Their video came up when I searched Bellroy lite 30l.
I always love watching your videos! Could you do a review on the Rab expedition kitbags(30 and 50l)? I'm planning a trip next year and I'd like to know what you think about them!
one has hip belts which pull up the bag causing the pull back factor… the bellroy would do the same if it had hip belts. Just don’t use the hip belts and pull back is gone
I Have So Many Backpacks!! I Bought 2 Cotapaxi Alpas (30L & 45L) for a 13 Day Trip to Hawaii for My Husband & I. It Was the Only Trip we ever took them on & they Both “Delaminated” so Badly, we haven’t used them since. Such a waste of money! I would NOT Ever Recommend the Cotapaxi brand because of the Delaminating Problem! I Also Have a Belroy Apex. (Not sure they still make it?) It is by far My Favorite Backpack of All time! It is Definitely My 1st Go to! It Also Went on That Same Trip & Still Looks Brand New even though I Have Continued to use it after Returning Home. (However,It is a black color.) So funny the you showed My Most Disappointing Buy & My Best Brand Buy in the same video! P.S. I would NOT Ever buy That light color!
@@dawncrossland3028 The Apex doesn’t suffer from any form of slippage with their harness straps, but the other models such as the venture pack has that issue. I think its a hit and miss depending on what model someone purchases. Apex is also considered the pricier option from their line of bags
@@HarimaKenji22 I Do Admit that the Apex is the Only Belroy I Own & Was slightly nervous about the Price, but it is So Worth it, I Could Toss All the rest!
Hmm interesting. I’ve had my Allpa duffle for a couple years now and I haven’t had that issue and I use it fairly often. I wonder if it’s a quality control issue /bad batch of bags? Hopefully you contacted Cotopaxi about the issue?
If you say that this fits a passport, please put your passport there when traveling ... In the spot the most easily accessible and the furthest away from you so you for sure won't notice it being stolen. Why this annoys me is that you have a platform so that bag makers can find out that we want a pocket for a passport where we would actually put one

I worry about the delamination issue on the Allpas, while I worry about general QC on the bellroys (based on experience).
I have been trying to decide between these two thanks for the comparison
you should add the black hole mini MLC to the shootout, its the closest competitor to the allpa 😂
Excellent comparison. Geez, the Cotopaxi main bucket looks bigger and the overall capacity seems a bit higher than the Bellroy
Can you do a review of the Cotopaxi Allpa mini 20L?
I love the Bellroy compartments but biggest "issue" to me is no water bottle pocket. For that I will go for Allpa. But Allpa materials seems have delamination issue.
Take a look at the Patagonia MLC 30L. I have one in the blue and love it.
Thank you so much for this comparison!!!
Thanks for watching! 😃
U forgot to mention laptop compartment
My Allpa28 Travel Pack Desert didn’t have a water bottle pocket, probably it’s an older version 😢
Will you be reviewing the Allpa 20L?
I can’t figure out why Bellroy designed those two interior pockets to open like that?
Would be nice if you could make a comparison between Cotopaxi Allpa 28L and Matador SEG 28
There's a channel using your footage of this review. Not sure if you gave them permission or not, but thought I'd let you know.
Do you know what the channel is? Thank you.
@@PackHacker2 The channel is Luggage Review and the title is Material Differences Cotopaxi Allpa vs Bellroy Lite Travel Pack!

did she mention the laptop-compartement in the allpa?
Is there any way to add a water bottle sleeve to the Bellroy?
That pulling back factor is definitely a deal breaker 😮
one has hip belts which pull up the bag causing the pull back factor… the bellroy would do the same if it had hip belts. Just don’t use the hip belts and pull back is gone
Not sure about the Bellroy, but the Alpa has a laptop sleeve - wish it had been shown.
Bellroy has laptop compartment, I have this bag- it’s on the side.
Any good reviews out on the 20L Allpa?
Same I need a review!
I need that one too!
Which of the two materials will be more durable?

As dumb as it sounds, the Bellroy was easy to eliminate because it doesn't have a water bottle holder.
It's very disappointing that neither of them has a laptop compartment.
Bellroy has laptop compartment, I have this bag- it’s on the side.
Allpa has one, it fits my 17 inch laptop
@@mrchrismiller thank you.. I have a 17 inch laptop as well so I appreciate your feedback 🙂
@@arturg3345 thank you 👍
Bellroy again 🤯
Not sure why people like Bellroy bags so much, they're so expensive and lack in basic features.
no laptop compartments means automatically rejected.
It does have one

What? They have one
