Allpa 42L Travel Pack

Best pack for travel

I first saw this pack on two of the competitors on The Amazing Race and thought that if they could run in it and have all of their gear in it, then it must be amazing. I bought each of my daughters one for Christmas so that they could follow their travel bug. I just bought my husband one for our travels to Portugal and beyond to get out of this country and explore. I am grateful for the company and for making such great gear.

Best travel pack

This is a true workhorse of a travel bag that has been to more than a handful of countries with me. I love it so much that I have purchased more of them for my husband and kids. It holds so much more than a standard carryon and is a beeeze when dealing with stairs, train stations, uneven roads, etc.

Love It!!

Okay this is a 2-1 review, I have had the 35L for a year I have taken it on weekend trips locally and on two 1-week long Europe Trips! One to Paris and one to Sweden. I would say I am a medium packer, I don't overpack but I am also not a minimalist and I can fit everything in the 35L bag (plus I am tall so my clothing is not small). I can definitely fit 3-4 outfits +2 pairs of shoes and accessories. I got this 42L for my partner who is much more of an over-packer than I and it would EASILY fit much more stuff than what I usually pack, he has taken it on weekend trip so far and I think I saw 3 pairs of shoes in there. . I love all the pockets and that it doesn't look like "backpacking bag". The only thing that gets though for me is having to wear it on long travel days, the hip and chest straps are a HUGE help for sure, but it does just get heavy and I longingly look at my partners roller bag with envy while walking long distances through the airport, but then he got stuck in a Parisian turnstyle so I felt better about myself then :) Overall, I think the bag is totally worth it.
