The Cotopaxi Allpa is a winner.
It definitely comes with a hip belt and chest strap, plus a removable shoulder strap.
You can choose between sizes – there’s a 35-liter and a 42-liter option.
Inside, it’s designed like a real suitcase with zippered compartments that fold open neatly.
We own the 42-liter version and took it on a Europe trip – loved it!
It’s going to be our main bag for shorter trips for the kid and my big carry-on internationally, alongside my 20-liter backpack.
If you have an REI nearby, check if they have the smaller one in store so you can try it on.
