Inspired by starry skies, deep space, and lava rocks, the Del Día Dark Collection is back, just in time for the Perseid Meteor Shower peak this weekend ☄️💫 This time, our all-new Allpa 35L Travel Pack is available in this unique color drop, along with our Batac 16L daypack and Kapai 1.5L Hip Pack. Like our entire Del Día Collection, these packs are made from 100% leftover fabric that might have otherwise gone to the landfill. For Del Día dark, that means the trim is colorfully unique—no two packs are alike. Explore the Dark drop here: https://lnkd.in/gctmngKs

Right before we launched our new Allpa, we asked our community where they'd taken this iconic travel pack since we launched it 8 years ago. We were floored by the response: 2,000+ travelers responded and told us they'd taken their Allpas collectively to 1,556 cities visited, all 50 U.S. states, and 131+ countries (2/3rds of the world's countries!). Check out our interactive map of where the Allpa pack has been—and tell us where you plan to take it next.

Today's the day! 8 years ago, we launched our Allpa Travel Pack on Indiegogo and it went on to become a bestseller that's been all over the world. Now, we've updated our iconic pack to make it even easier for our community to see the world and make it better. The all-new Allpa features 100% recycled fabric, a more ergonomic design to take you further off the beaten path, a luggage pass-through strap so you can throw it over your roller bag's handle, and (mic drop), the feature so many of you have been asking for: a water bottle pocket 🫶 Check out the all-new Allpa and get to traveling: https://lnkd.in/gqKRbiUZ

When we can get away with it, we love the agility and simplicity of traveling with just a pack on our backs—and so does New York Magazine's The Strategist. We're honored to have made their list of the best carry-on packs. What about you? Are you team pack, duffel, or roller bag? https://lnkd.in/gutMA4HG

As of today, #WorldRefugeeDay, over 120 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide. That number has more than doubled in the last decade. Numbers that big can feel overwhelming—what can be done about such an incredibly massive problem? That's why today (and every day) it's important to remember that humans can't be reduced to numbers. In an open letter from International Rescue Committee President & CEO David Miliband and co-signed by fellow CEOs including Cotopaxi CEO Damien Huang, we're calling on the private sector to help catalyze lasting change and transform the lives of people affected by conflict and disaster as they rebuild their futures.
