What customers say
Travelers love the Cotopaxi Allpa 38L Roller Bag for its exceptional internal organization, mirroring the popular backpack design with numerous zippered mesh pockets that simplify packing.

Know before you buy
Yes, with dimensions of 22 x 14 x 12 inches, this bag is designed to meet standard carry-on requirements for most major airlines. However, we always recommend checking your specific airline's size policies before flying, as some budget carriers have stricter limits.
The split-case design divides the interior into two distinct compartments, making it much easier to separate your gear or keep clean clothes away from shoes and toiletries. It functions like a suitcase but offers the organizational benefits of a structured gear bag.
Yes, the bag is constructed from 840D TPU-coated nylon, which is highly water-resistant. While it is not fully submersible, it will effectively protect your belongings from light rain and splashes during transit.
The two large, durable wheels are designed for stability and can handle rougher terrain like cobblestones or gravel better than smaller spinner wheels. While you have to tilt the bag to roll it, the robust construction ensures it remains reliable on varied surfaces.
The bag weighs 6.83 lbs, which is a standard weight for a durable, softside roller of this size. The molded back panel provides necessary structure and protection for your gear, which contributes slightly to the weight but adds significant durability.
Yes, the bag features multiple grab handles on the top and sides, allowing you to easily maneuver and lift it into tight spaces. These handles are reinforced to ensure you have a secure grip when hoisting the bag overhead.
