So why am I not using the Gregory Border or the Cotopaxi Allpa? Short answer is they’re not comfortable when packed this heavy. My backpack weighs just right over 30lbs & both of those backpacks are not structured to carry that weight. I wanted to be as comfortable as possible since this pack will be with me for the next 3-5 months.
I’m bringing the @rei 40L ruckpack & it actually wasn’t the pack I intended on bringing. A different company had sent me a pack and I loved it at first, but then realized the quality was very poor, especially the zippers. So I ran to REI the day before I left & grabbed this one 😅 Honestly I love it, my only con is it doesn’t have an easy access zipper for the laptop compartment.
