Allpa 60l Gear Hauler Box: Tough Where It CountsThe Allpa's base and back are made of 840D recycled ballistic ripstop nylon—made initially for military gear and now protecting yours. This ultra-rugged fabric resists abrasions, tears, and rough handling. It is perfect for heavy hauls and unpredictable terrain, whether loading up for a weekend in the wild or tossing it into the trunk.
What is the Cotopaxi Allpa 60L Gear Hauler Box?
Designed for big adventures, the Cotopaxi Allpa 60L Gear Hauler Box offers spacious storage for everything from ropes and helmets to tents and cooking gear. It's the dependable basecamp companion for climbers, campers, and road trippers alike—plus a solid choice for any outdoor pursuit where keeping your gear organised, protected, and ready to go matters.
What is it made of?
The body and lid of the Allpa are made from 100% recycled 450D polyester, giving it the structure and resilience needed to handle bumpy road trips, heavy hauls, and gear dumps at the trailhead. It's burly enough to take a beating yet light enough to move around without hassle.
Reinforced Panels: Recycled 840D Ballistic Ripstop Nylon
To protect against the roughest terrain and heaviest hauls, the back and bottom panels are 100% recycled 840-denier ballistic ripstop nylon. Originally developed for military flak jackets, ballistic nylon is known for its extreme toughness and resistance to abrasion. Add a ripstop weave, and you've got a fabric that resists tearing, shrugs off the gravel, and handles hard use like a pro. If you're tossing this hauler in and out of vans, tents, or craggy trailheads, this is the reinforcement you need.
Lining: Recycled 135D Polyester
The Allpa is finished with a 100% recycled 135-denier polyester lining. It's lightweight and smooth to the touch, making cleaning out dirt or crumbs a breeze. Plus, its light colour makes it easier to spot smaller items hiding in the corners of your kit.
Recycled Content
The Allpa 60L Gear Hauler Box is built almost entirely from 100% recycled materials, including the outer fabric, reinforcement panels, and interior lining. That means fewer resources are extracted from the earth, and less plastic ends up in landfills. Cotopaxi sources these materials from post-consumer and post-industrial waste like leftover fabric from other manufacturing processes—and gives them a second life in a product designed for long-term use. It's part of Cotopaxi's Gear for Good promise: making high-performance gear that respects the planet every step of the way.
What are its features?
Lid with a Built-In Mesh Organiser
Open the Allpa 60L, and you'll see that the lid isn't just there to close things up. It doubles as a storage panel, with a full-size mesh zip pocket on the inside that's perfect for slim essentials. Whether it's your trail maps, pocket guidebooks, camp permits, or a first aid kit, everything stays within quick and easy reach and is simple to spot through the mesh.
Space-Saving Collapsible Design
The Allpa Gear Hauler folds flat for compact storage when not in use. No more bulky bins taking up precious space in your gear room, garage, or vehicle. Just collapse and stash it, and it's out of the way until your next adventure.
Grabbing Options
Carrying this thing is no hassle. There are handles on each end, so it’s easy to hoist in and out of your vehicle or onto a shelf. It also comes with a detachable shoulder strap, making it easier to haul across a campsite or through a busy parking lot when your hands are full of other gear.
Loops for the Little (or Big) Extras
Tucked along the hauler's front and sides, you'll notice daisy chain loops. Use them to clip on a water bottle, secure a dirty pair of shoes in a mesh bag, or hang a headlamp for easy access during evening camp setup. You can even use them to lash the box down in a vehicle or on a roof rack.
Secure, Adjustable Closure That Holds It All Together
Along the sides of the Cotopaxi Gear Box, you'll notice adjustable compression straps with side-release buckles. They are designed to help you tighten down the load, especially when the box isn't completely full. By cinching the sides, you reduce movement inside, which is ideal for keeping your gear stable when you're on the move. The buckles are durable and easy to clip or unclip—even with gloves on—making access quick without sacrificing structure or stability.

Cotopaxi Allpa 60L Gear Hauler Box Review
We took this beast on a weekend Wales climbing trip, and it absolutely crushed it (in a good way). It swallowed up our harnesses, helmets, shoes, snacks, and jackets and still had room for all the "just-in-case" bits we always pack but rarely touch.
We left it open in the back of the van like a mobile gear drawer—no rummaging, no chaos. It even doubled as a crash pad when someone forgot their camp chair. It got covered in mud, dragged across rocky car parks, and generally treated like kit tends to be—and it didn't flinch.
Allpa 60l Gear Hauler Box Sizing The Cotopaxi Allpa 60L is like the Mary Poppins bag of the outdoor world. With 56cm of height, 39cm width, and 33cm depth of space and a generous 60L capacity (3,661 cu in), it somehow swallows piles of gear without ever looking overstuffed. Ropes, jackets, cooking kit, snacks—you name it, it fits. It's spacious enough to handle the full weekend lineup, but still compact enough to toss in the boot or slide under a camp table.
Cotopaxi Hauler Box vs Hauler Tote It really comes down to how you pack and play if you're torn between the Cotopaxi Allpa Gear Hauler Tote and the Gear Hauler Box. The Tote is your go-to if you like to chuck gear in and go—it's soft-sided and super flexible. Great for casual trips, colourful, and a bit lighter to lug around. On the other hand, the Box brings the structure. It keeps its shape, packs like a mini cargo crate, and feels sturdier when loading up heavier or more fragile kit. It's tougher, more rugged, and holds everything in place, even on bumpy drives or chaotic camp setups.
