Work bag. Weekend bag. Same bag
The daily commute and the weekend city break ask roughly the same things of a bag: keep a laptop safe, stay organised, look decent, and take a bit of a battering without showing it. Cotopaxi’s Allpa 26L clears all those bars without breaking a sweat. A separate panel-loading 16” laptop compartment keeps your computer out of the general scrum, two stretch mesh water bottle pockets handle the outer edges, and a fleece-lined pocket protects anything that scratches easily. Two exterior accessory pockets deal with the daily carry, exterior daisy chain loops add a bit of versatility for clipping stuff on, and the whole thing is built from recycled 840D ripstop nylon and 450D TPU polyester -- the same tough combination you’ll find on Cotopaxi’s full travel pack range. When you end up staying over, the luggage pass-through strap means it sits tidily on top of a roller. Made by a B Corp-certified company from 100% recycled fabrics throughout.

Cotopaxi’s tagline is ‘gear for good’, and before you roll your eyes at yet another outdoor brand making lofty claims about their eco credentials, these guys really do walk the walk. They’re certified climate neutral, with rigorous ethical manufacturing standards and even a grants scheme that supports organisations fighting global poverty.
They also prioritise the use of recycled and reclaimed materials, which includes some imaginative upcycling – like their ‘Del Día’ range made from repurposed fabrics. Other product lines make use of leftover fabrics discarded by other manufacturers. As well as reducing landfill waste, this also means that the vibrant patchwork-style colourways of many Cotopaxi garments and packs are totally unique.
And that’s the thing about Cotopaxi. Their kit doesn’t just tick the good-guy boxes, it also looks great too – with a retro-inspired aesthetic that channels the best bits of the 80s. Whether it’s a daypack, a bum bag, a windbreaker or a zip-up fleece, their range is built to last and stacked with well-thought-out features for conscientious adventure travellers.
