🎒 Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Backpack Review

I bought this because I was planning a trip to Asia and I just had foot surgery and needed to get on a scooter. As usual, I couldn't take a full suitcase. That thing is super hard. I also bought Cotopaxi Batac. It folds up and fits in the top pocket of the Allpa. Perfect as a laptop or travel backpack when I come to Asia.
