Bum bags are where it's at these days – ranging from chunky hiking models to slimline travel packs. This lightweight Allpa X from Cotopaxi is in the latter category, with a four-litre capacity that makes it perfect for pared-back travel essentials. It's got a comfy strap that can be worn as a belt or across your body, and the butterfly-style opening lets you open it right up. It's also super-packable – with compression straps to keep everything locked down tight, and padded wings that stow away in the back panel when you don't need them. Speaking of packing, if Cotopaxi's versatile Allpa travel pack is your carry-on luggage of choice, it's worth knowing that the Allpa X hip pack is designed to fit neatly in the top pocket – so you can stock it with your in-flight necessaries and just slip it out when you stow your bag in the overhead lockers
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.
