Cotopaxi FAQs
How do I choose the right size Cotopaxi bag?
Choosing the right Cotopaxi bag depends on your adventure! For weekend trips or minimalist travel, the Allpa 28L is a great companion, while the larger Allpa 35L or 42L packs are perfect for longer journeys of a week or more. Consider the length of your trip and how much you need to carry, then consult the on-page size guide to find the perfect fit for your travels across Australia and beyond.
Are Cotopaxi bags waterproof or water-resistant?
Cotopaxi bags are designed to be your trusty travel sidekick and are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. The main fabrics have a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that causes light moisture to bead up and roll off. For adventures that might involve heavier downpours, we recommend using a rain cover for extra protection to keep your gear completely dry.
What is the difference between the Allpa, Batac, and Kapai bags?
Each Cotopaxi bag serves a different adventure. The Allpa is the signature travel backpack, featuring a suitcase-style opening perfect for organised packing on multi-day trips. The Batac is a lightweight, unstructured daypack, ideal for short hikes, city exploring, or as a packable second bag. The Kapai is a compact hip pack designed to keep your absolute essentials—like keys, phone, and wallet—close and secure while you're on the move.
How should I clean my Cotopaxi bag?
To keep your Cotopaxi bag looking fresh for your next journey, it's best to spot clean it. Use a cloth with cold water and a mild, eco-friendly soap, gently scrubbing any marks. For tougher spots, a soft brush can be used, but avoid machine washing as this can damage the fabrics and coatings.
