Del Dia Allpa 20L Travel Pack

Great for short trip, personal item

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Height:

5' 5"

Weight:

150

Uses: personal item for work travel, overnight or light weekend bag Pros: Fits easily under all plane seats with room to spare. Surprisingly large, very spacious, with dedicated tablet / book sleeve, small exterior pocket for items you need quick access to. Can lash / clip things like gloves to the outside. Neutral: Seems to have a learning curve? Had to travel with it a couple times before I felt like it was actually working for me, which it definitely does now. Cons: No dedicated laptop sleeve. External access is limited, so you have to significantly unzip to access anything larger than a wallet / sunglasses / lip balm - would increase this pocket by 50-100%.

Gym Bag

Bought this to use as a gym bag and love it. Fits everything I need (toiletries, change of clothes / shoes and a small amount of diapers for the babes). Bonus points for the separate compartments. Love the colors as well!!

Happy It's Back

I purchased the previous Del Dia backpack that opens like a suitcase but had 2 outside separate compartments which was making it more difficult to clean. So I am happy that this previous smaller Allpa20 is back. I haven't tried it yet though but I will trt to use this when we do our Camino de Santiago this spring. I love that it opens like a suitcase and is super lightweight making it perfect for European flights.

Great for kids!

I got these backpacks for my kids (7 and 9 years old) and thus far they have worked well! They have used them for sleepovers and short trips and we look forward to using them for longer trips in the future. I could also use the pack as an adult, but the straps seem a bit short (still manageable) overall it’s perfect for the kids.

Perfect overnight bag

I’ve loved my large Allpa for years but it’s too much for one or two nights. Finally ordered the 20L and I’m so happy with it! Perfect small size for an overnight trip. Love the addition of the water bottle side pocket

Perfection!

This pack is just what ai wanted! A great size that fits my small frame without overwhelming me, but still has plenty of room for all the things I need for a couple of days! I love the suitcase style for keeping things organized!

The Perfect Size

I originally bought this for traveling for my 9 year old but my 7 year old loved it. It’s perfect size and made very well. They both loved the bright colors.

Colorful backpack

It is very difficult to find a bag this exact size to be airplane compliant and be a clamshell backpack. Success.

Perfect Size for Diaper Bag

Things marketed as diaper bags are super overpriced and generally in the form of a large handbag. We wanted something that was a backpack for more comfortable carrying. Enter this gem. It's the perfect size for a few changes of clothes, some toys, some snacks, a changing pad, diapers, and wipes while allowing us to be hands free and still hold the baby. Bonus points for the fact that it's not boring colors.

Alps 20l travel pack

We haven't used it yet but it appears to be as well made as the 28l and 35l Alpa travel packs I have and love. I believe this will be just the right size for my 10yo son to carry his stuff for a week long or more trip. He's excited to use it. I can update when we actually pack it to see how much it holds.
