Amazing pack
This thing is huge. The pictures online don’t do justice. There’s so many zippers and compartments to it. I was kinda worried it wouldn’t have enough spots for what I wanted to do. Boy was I wrong! Got it today and soon as I opened it I realized I definitely made the right call picking this over another brand that was recommended to me. Love the size love the colors love individual sections and the easy access zippers and multiple was you can carry this bad boy.
Very Close to the Perfect Bag
This backpack is awesome! High quality construction, tons of space, smart design everywhere, and easily configurable. The only reason I'm rating 4 stars instead of 5 is that the laptop sleeve doesn't fit my 14in laptop. I think the sleeve is supposed to be used for a 12in tablet, with a phone pouch sewed in next to it that blocks a larger laptop. But I have no use for a phone pouch (there's plenty of other spots in the bag for a phone), and could really use the full laptop sleeve! Only part of the bag I don't like, and you can work around it by just leaving your laptop in the compartment where the sleeve is (see pictures).
You're awesome! Thank you for all of these great details :):)
I Love My Allpa 42L!
I am 67 years old and have always used a different brand of backpack. I decided to step out of my box because I wanted to try the clam shell style! I am so glad I did! There is so much room! It is easy to organize! I packed for a week trip in Cancun with hiking and running shoes and I still have room! Awesome! The water bottle is deep enough so you feel like you won’t loose it either! Thank you!
So far so good
I really like this bag but and am disappointed it didn’t survive its first flight without the rubber getting scraped off in a couple places. Otherwise, it holds a lot, is easy to pack with packing compression bags and is very easy and comfortable to carry. I am just 5’4 and 120# and it is comfortable especially with the load lifters.
It’s perfect
Getting ready for a 22 day cruise and extended stay. How to travel light but bring everything you need 🤔. I researched this pack and identified it as the most versatile and portable carry on. Upon first trial pack and short hike to assess comfort ….. I can say so far it exceeds my expectations in every way.
The Perfect Travel Pack
The Allpa 42L travel pack hits all the marks for what my wife and I were looking for - we each have one now and they're the only bags we use. 1. SIZE | An ideal pack for weekend trips but big enough to carry everything you need for multi-week trips too (if you don't overpack or can do washing mid-way through). I've used it for multi-week trips in Italy, Alaska, etc. and it's comfortable to carry with you when you're arriving, leaving, or on the go - walking the city, catching a train, etc. It can double as a backpacking pack if you're hiking at your destination. 2. CARRY ON | It's considered a carry-on for US Domestic and International flights. Fits perfectly in the overhead bin. I cannot underline this enough - saving checked baggage fees, no lost luggage, everything you need with you at all times, AND airlines have never force-checked my bag at the gate when they are forcing roller bags to be checked to the final destination. Note: On smaller flights within Europe, it was too big for carry on and we checked it. 3. ORGANIZED | The multiple zipper pockets make it easy to stay organized. This new redesign includes improved features like an additional small zip in the front (useful for passport, cords, anything you want to access quickly) and extended depth on the inside left bottom zipper section (useful for fitting bigger items, like shoes or boots). The laptop sleeve is completely padded and fits both my laptop and charging cord and then there's a smaller padded pocket that fits my work phone or other small items. 4. COMFORT & QUALITY | This pack is really comfortable (straps are cushioned and never hurt my shoulders) and everything feels sturdy and high quality - zippers, material, mesh, side handle, all of it. I'm going to end here so our love for this pack doesn't get obnoxious. Buy this bag - you won't regret it!
Excellent product
I am beyond pleased with its quality! The craftsmanship is top-notch, with perfect terminations that speak to its durability. Not only does it feel sturdy, but it also features well-designed compartments that are ideal for organizing my gear. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliability and style in one package!
Great quality and style
The ability to convert my bag into different styles was worth the price . I have never owned traditional luggage, the 42L is the perfect in-between travel bag it’s very spacious while still being able to carry it on the plane. I would recommend this bag to avid travelers..
Love my 42l!!!
I purchased it for a week travel to DC. It was a combination of conferences, meetings and sight seeing. Originally I was worried not everything is going to fit as I needed to bring extra shoes and suits. But in the end, I not only can pack everything in nicely, even had space to bring souvenirs and extra clothes that I bought there back with me!! I'm only 5'2 so it looks a bit large on me, especially with the fact that I was also carrying a 20l day pack with me when I'm walking/taking subway from hotel to Airbnb or from Airbnb to the airport, so I got some people staring at me. But it was honestly very comfortable to walk around with it because the new weight distribution designed really well and the sturdy waist belt really helped making the whole experience awesome. After I bought a del dia one (lightly lighter in weight than the TPU coating one), my husband also bought a TPU one in black because he was impressed with the organization and functionality. Having it fit perfectly in the airplane's overhead bin is also a huge plus!! Everyone with a roller was forced to gate check their carry on but not me!! 100% recommend to anyone who's considering. (I tried the 35l, it's great but I wanted bigger space and the size didn't look that much different visually while the 42l fits me better. So don't be scared to get the 42 even when you're short of have a short torso like me!)
Backpacker’s dream!
I recently went on a 4 day hiking trip in Hawaii and let me say, I am so glad I chose this backpack. The separating pockets on the inside made it so much easier to find specific items, especially while staying in a hostel and trying to find your items in the dark during quiet hours. I loved the durability of the outer shell and how it protected my items. The outer pocket was great for keeping a beach towel, my sunglasses and my wallet in. I used it as a carryon on the plane and had no trouble fitting it in the overhead bins.
