Review on 🎒 Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Backpack by Angela Kutzler

I trusted Wirecutter's recommendations until I received this bag. You cannot fill it to capacity. The seam in my photo is too close to the zipper path, making it almost impossible to close when the bag is full. After using it once, I can say that the seams in this area will sooner or later tear. This bag has no construction and no luggage straps. You've probably noticed this, but it's a bigger problem than expected. Carrying or carrying a bag, everything settles to the ground. Packing cubes are *not* the solution. When they are needed, the bag does not fulfill its primary function - there is no adequately sized compartment for toiletries. And using a toiletry bag would take up half of the available packing space. All in all, this bag is pretty useless.
