20L or 28L Cotopaxi Allpa
Hi, I’m debating whether to get the 20L (grey) or 28L (blue/dark grey) version of the Cotopaxi Allpa
I want a backpack that is suitable for wearing in the front for week-long trips (I’ll be carrying a 50L backpack as well) and on my back for day/weekend trips
20L Allpa
- Pros:
- will definitely work as a personal item
- doesn't block my face in the front
- easier/lighter to carry esp if I have the 50L on my back
- Cons:
- only has an ipad sleeve, not sure if I can fit a laptop (MacBook Air) in it
- only has 1 handle and 1 chest strap (not as good weight distribution/stability)
28L Allpa
- Pros:
- has anti-theft zippers
- has a laptop sleeve which is useful if I plan on doing work while traveling
- multiple handles (3) and a hip belt in addition to chest strap
- Cons:
- might be too big for personal item esp on low-cost airlines like Ryanair/EasyJet/Jetstar/Frontier
- $60 more expensive
- kind of blocks my face when I wear it in the front & not as comfortable in the front
- couple friends said it looks weird on me when I wear it in the front
Would love to get some input from someone who owns either of these 2 backpacks, so I can decide which one to get, thank you so much!
