The Allpa Getaway duffle is built to be chucked in boots, wedged into overhead lockers, dragged across gravel and generally treated like the adventure equipment it is. The shell is 100% recycled 840D TPU-coated nylon, the same stuff Cotopaxi use on their travel packs -- so it can handle getting tossed around without complaint. Duffle carry straps stow neatly away when you’re not using them, and the removable backpack harness means you can dash through a train station or hike to the campsite without your hands full. Inside, zippered pockets under the lid flap and two exterior accessory pockets (one with a key clip) keep things from getting completely chaotic, and the whole bag stuffs into its own included sack that doubles as a packing cube for when it’s not in use. Available in 55L, 70L, and 100L -- enough range to cover an extended weekend, a week under the stars, and ‘packing for a big trip without actually thinking about it too hard’ respectively.
Cotopaxi’s tagline is ‘gear for good’, and before you roll your eyes at yet another outdoor brand making lofty claims about their eco credentials, these guys really do walk the walk. They’re certified climate neutral, with rigorous ethical manufacturing standards and even a grants scheme that supports organisations fighting global poverty.
They also prioritise the use of recycled and reclaimed materials, which includes some imaginative upcycling – like their ‘Del Día’ range made from repurposed fabrics. Other product lines make use of leftover fabrics discarded by other manufacturers. As well as reducing landfill waste, this also means that the vibrant patchwork-style colourways of many Cotopaxi garments and packs are totally unique.
And that’s the thing about Cotopaxi. Their kit doesn’t just tick the good-guy boxes, it also looks great too – with a retro-inspired aesthetic that channels the best bits of the 80s. Whether it’s a daypack, a bum bag, a windbreaker or a zip-up fleece, their range is built to last and stacked with well-thought-out features for conscientious adventure travellers.
