I have the Cotopaxi Allpa 42L as my one bag carry on for domestic flights in the USA, I've taken it on 4 or 5 trips. I can easily pack 5 or 6 days worth of clothing and tech stuff in it, but I will say that it is a large bag. I am a 6'4" guy who is on the larger size, so I think it looks smaller on me due to my size, but it definitely gets skeptical looks from busy body gate staff. Large backpacks are on the radar of airport employees, so I always tuck away the backpack straps when I get to my gate to make the bag look smaller and closer to a roller bag. Overall, its an amazing bag. If you have size anxiety about carrying it on, I might suggest the 35L with less stuff in it, but either way, you can't go wrong with these bags.

How tall are you? Will the 42l be fine for average 5’2?
@reneedeer.studio2 ай бұрын
I’m 5’8! If you check one of the last clips in the video you can see me wearing it. It does look a little big on me but I think it could be fine. The hip belt can be slightly adjusted on the velcro strap it attaches to so you might be able to shorten the torso enough for it to be comfy:)

Your bag is the Del Dia Version, so it does not have the TPU coating. I have the 35L Del Dia and I love it.
@reneedeer.studio2 ай бұрын
I misread the website but I don’t mind it since it comes with the rain cover and is such good quality:) I know a lot of people opt for the 35L, what was the deciding factor for you over the other sizes?
@craigb7217Ай бұрын
Ultimately I decided on the 35L for portability, and I only need to pack about a week's worth of stuff in it. I also got 3 of the Cotopaxi packing cubes with it. I wish it came with the optional shoulder strap like the 42L does.

Congrats on that bag .Hope you had a good time in New Zealand.... I am a backpack/sling freak but i still have not the perfect bag for me for carryon and one bag travel

Have you tried any of the Cotopaxi bags yet? Check out the excel sheet on r/onebag on reddit. So much valuable information there! You’ll definitely be able to narrow down you’re choices and find the perfect fit:)

the TPU coated polyester is not on the Del Dia bags since they are repurposed material

If I remember correctly, the Del Dia version that you have does not have the TPU coating, but the Allpa version does have it.
@reneedeer.studio2 ай бұрын
You’re correct! I messed up and didn’t understand the website clearly as I bought it online. Not a deal breaker but would’ve been nice:) maybe they’ll incorporate some of the TPU scraps into a del dia drop in the future!
