The Backpack That Outlasted Everything

One backpack. Seven years. Mountains, airports, commutes, bike rides, weekend trips—even diaper bag duty. In this episode of Top Notch, Forbes Vetted staff writer Steven John explains why the Cotopaxi Allpa 28L has been his go-to backpack for nearly everything. It’s compact enough for everyday use, spacious enough for short trips, organized enough for work travel and rugged enough for real adventures. With smart compartments, a laptop sleeve, anti-theft zippers, a trolley sleeve, comfortable straps and durable recycled materials, the Allpa 28L does what most “do-it-all” backpacks only promise: it actually does it all. Watch the full review to see why this $200 pack has earned our Top Notch stamp of approval. What backpack should we test next? Drop it in the comments.
