DURABLE BAGS FOR ADVENTURES

BIG AND SMALL

Whether you’re going on a weekend ski getaway, a European adventure, or a road trip, having a smartly designed, durable, and water-resistant bag makes packing — and locating gear — a breeze. Cotopaxi’s new Allpa Duffel Bag (available in 50 and 70 liters) and Allpa Travel Pack (available in 28, 35, and 42 liters) both have rugged exteriors made with a TPUcoated 1000-denier polyester shell and heavy-duty nylon panels. The duffel has a cavernous main compartment, a large mesh zippered pocket for stashing a book and other smaller items, and a dirty laundry compartment — with a separate zippered entry — on the bottom. Slip travel documents, sunglasses, and other smaller items in the two zippered outer compartments and carry the bag using the duffel straps or removable backpack straps. The Allpa Travel Pack suits those who prefer a backpackstyle system — complete with comfy shoulder straps, an adjustable waist belt, and a padded back — or a shoulder strap for carrying. This pack has a sizable outside pocket with lots of organizer options for snacks, travel documents, and devices, and a large, padded laptop and tablet pocket that’s accessed through an outer zipper. The pack fully unzips, clamshellstyle, and has two large main compartments for clothes, shoes, and other gear, and two smaller zippered mesh pockets for smaller items. It also has a separate rain cover (included) and an exterior water bottle pocket. $140-$160 duffel; $170-$220 pack. www.cotopaxi.com.
