An olive green travel pack

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

I’ve been on team roller board and team duffle bag — now I’m ready to audition for team backpack.

I just placed an order for Cotopaxi’s Allpa 35L Travel Pack. This light and durable pack is ready for all your long-weekend adventures. It’s loaded with features to make your travels easier — a weight-distributing low-profile harness system, multiple compartments to keep your things organized, and a rain cover. With a family of four travelers, I like that this bag will leave my hands free to pull another suitcase or push a stroller.

This travel pack starts at $190, depending on whether you get the second-gen version or not. (You can also check their sale section for even bigger savings if you’re not particular about the color.) It’s available in tons of colors and also comes in 42L and 28L sizes.
