There’s a certain<\/span> type of traveler who has spent years quietly furious at the travel-bag industry. One who has stood at luggage carousels watching identical cases circle endlessly; who has wrenched a shoulder hauling a poorly balanced pack through an airport; who has dug desperately through a seemingly bottomless compartment, searching for a specific charging cable<\/a> tangled-up cord that looks like spaghetti. Thankfully, Cotopaxi’s Allpa Travel Pack Del D\u00eda Dark can help solve most of those problems while stashing an impressive amount. (You’re going to have to untangle your own cords.) It might even take the crown from my previous pick for best bag in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, it’s been eight long years since WIRED reviewed this bag<\/a>. We loved it then, but in the time that has passed, bags have gotten better<\/a>. Fortunately, so has the popular Allpa Travel Pack.<\/p>\n

Allpa 35L Travel Pack – Del D\u00eda Dark<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The new Allpa boasts better weight distribution (courtesy of air-mesh shoulder and hip straps), which promises a more comfortable carry. And it really is comfortable, even fully loaded. There\u2019s also an added exterior stretchy water-bottle pocket that can hold up to 32 ounces, as well as a luggage pass-through strap that conveniently slides over the handle of a roller case<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It also now comes in a striking Kylo Ren\u2013friendly Del D\u00eda Dark guise, which is built from 100 percent leftover black fabric, but with bright, popping zipper pulls and accents. The aesthetic gives you the best of both fashion and function worlds: a black bag that won\u2019t show the inevitable dirt and scuffs any travel bag will collect, but with enough flashes of color that keep it exciting to the eye. It\u2019s a looker, which is no small feat in this space.<\/p>\n

The interior panels and pockets on your Allpa will be a unique design for your bag, since every Del D\u00eda<\/a> pack uses only leftover scraps of material of all colors, handpicked by the sewer. It could be aquamarine blue, a dark purple, cherry red, or sunshine yellow. Mine, as you can see below, is resplendent in multiple hues. It’s a neat inversion of the usual consumer logic, where you obsess over coordinated colorways and receive precisely what you ordered. Here, the material constraints of responsible manufacturing become the key design feature.<\/p>\n

Cotopaxi has long been ahead of its time in terms of ethical and sustainable manufacturing. It gained certification as a Benefit Corporation (B Corp)<\/a> shortly after its founding, which solidifies its commitment to work toward the general public good. One percent of annual revenue goes to a foundation<\/a> that awards grants to nonprofits. As that applies to the design of the Allpa, no two bags are identical, and each one would otherwise have ended up in a landfill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
