Cotopaxi's Allpa 26 L Backpack is a versatile 26-liter daypack/travel pack in the Del Día line, crafted from repurposed nylon fabric scraps, so each bag arrives in a random, one-of-a-kind color combination. It includes a zippered main compartment, multiple front and interior zip pockets, padded laptop and tablet sleeves, side water-bottle holders, and a comfortable padded mesh back with adjustable sternum and waist straps. With dimensions of 18.5 x 11 x 6 inches (47 x 28 x 15 cm), it suits everyday carry, commuting, and light travel; user reviews highlight its organizational layout and comfort, though some note the height can exceed typical airline personal-item limits for under-seat storage.

Product Insights

The Cotopaxi Allpa 26 L Del Día backpack offers the same functional design as the standard Allpa 26L but uses randomly selected deadstock nylon scraps, diverting over one million scrap pieces from landfill and ensuring each bag is unique. However, this sustainability comes with tradeoffs: the bag feels larger and boxier than its 26 L volume suggests, its single open cavity and minimal laptop sleeve padding limit organization and device protection, and the front admin pocket reduces main space and access. While the durable heritage nylon and lifetime warranty support longevity, comfort is limited to loads under 10–15 lbs, and the chest strap may detach with use.

Verified claims

Color randomness
Sewer randomly selects the color scheme from deadstock nylon scraps.
Sustainability
Del Día has diverted over one million scrap pieces from landfill.
Feature parity
All functional details of the standard Allpa 26L are identical on the Del Día version.
Waste diversion
Each purchase supports waste diversion of over 1 million scrap nylon pieces.
Uniqueness
Color assorted: each bag is a unique random combination not selectable by buyer.
Product longevity
Durable heritage nylon with lifetime warranty that prioritizes repair over replacement.
Comfort
Comfortable for loads up to 10-15 lbs; heavier loads cause shoulder fatigue.
Fit and size
Feels larger and boxier than 26L volume suggests, unwieldy for daily use.
Storage features
Minimal laptop sleeve padding, secure 32 oz bottle pockets, and flap opening restrict lower access.
Internal layout
Single open cavity with top-down packing and back-wall organization pockets.
Laptop compartment
Internal laptop sleeve requires full flap opening; lacks effective drop protection.
Front pocket interference
Front admin pocket's volume eats into main space and hinders bottom access when full.
Extra stowage
Trolley sleeve, hidden bottom pocket, and side pockets hold 32 oz bottles.
Laptop protection
Buyers report laptop sleeve has minimal bottom padding and no side padding, limiting protection.
Laptop access
The laptop sleeve has no side-access; retrieving it requires fully opening the front flap.
Tablet sleeve
Fleece-lined tablet sleeve provides scratch protection.
Under-seat fit
Buyers report it works as personal item only on non-budget airlines that rarely check dimensions.
Chest strap
Chest strap detaches after months of light use.
User satisfaction
Bag praised for organization and looks despite strap issue.
Bulk perception
Feels bigger than 26 L due to tall shape and front pocket.
Organization
Open cavity with fewer compartments than the 28L or competitors.
Variant
Del Día differs from standard Allpa 26L only in scrap-fabric color.
Hand feel
Fabric weave, sheen, and hand-feel vary between panels and across bags.
Performance
The bag retains the standard Allpa 26L's full feature set and nylon strength.
Repair preserves colorway
Repair path retains original scrap pattern; full replacement randomizes it.
Warranty
Warranty covers stitching, zippers, and hardware for life.
Trolley sleeve
Rear trolley sleeve doubles as a quick-access stash pocket for flat items.

Reddit Insights

4 threads · r/onebag, r/backpacks, r/ManyBaggers

Reddit users find the Cotopaxi Allpa 26L Daypack stylish and organized but flawed by bulky dimensions, limited comfort for heavy loads, and occasional quality issues like the chest strap detaching.

mixed sentiment95% match

The bag receives praise for its aesthetics, organization, and light weight, but recurring complaints about uncomfortable carry, poor under-seat fit, and a failing chest strap result in a slightly negative overall sentiment.

Use Cases

  • Everyday carry / commute
  • Light travel one-bagging

Watch Out For

mediumChest strap can detach or fall off after light use
mediumLaptop false bottom offers minimal padding; you can hear the laptop hit the hard surface
lowBag feels bulky and larger than its 26L capacity suggests, even when not full
mediumToo tall for many airline under-seat sizers (20.5" vs typical 18" limit)

Compared To

vs Cotopaxi Allpa 28L Travel Pack

The 26L Daypack feels very similar in size and bulk to the 28L, with the main difference being two water bottle pockets and an internal laptop sleeve instead of a separate compartment.

vs Moment Everything 21L

One user switched back to the Moment Everything 21L after finding the Allpa 26L's organization and false bottom lacking for their needs.

vs Able Carry Max EDC

Compared to the AC Max EDC, the Allpa 26L has less comfortable straps and lacks a full clamshell opening, though it still serves well as a hybrid EDC/travel bag.

Source Threads

  • Critique of Allpa 26L dimensions for under-seat use

    The 26 is 20.5 x 13 x 9 in (55 x 33 x 23 cm). They missed a real opportunity to make an under seat bag there. The specs are doubtful: 20.5”=52cm. They represent a much larger bag even with the correction.

  • One-month review of Allpa 26L Daypack with mixed feedback

    Following up on this! I purchased the bag and have been using it for about a month. I really like the bag, the carry is comfortable and it’s gorgeous. What I like is the front drop pocket. The organization in the main pocket is not my favorite because everything is on the back of the bag making it harder to access the items below it. The front drop pockets also impedes on being able to access the space towards the bottom in the main compartment. The false bottom definitely needs more support or padding. You can hear your laptop hit the hard surface if you slide it in there too fast. I want to love this bag but its design isn’t fitting my needs. I’m going back to using the Moment Everything 21L backpack. My search for a really good lightweight 26L bag continues.

  • User experience with Allpa 26L as personal item and colorways

    My partner has this bag. The hidden bottom QAP is a neat feature and while it’s far too tall, it does work as a personal airplane item with non-budget airlines (IE the domestic ones that rarely check). I just want more colorways. My partner has blue; I’m never buying the pinkish magenta, and black to me is boring. Where is that bronze? Or the green? Or grey? Or even a different shade blue? Other allpas have them all :(
