Cotopaxi Allpa 35 L Travel Pack ($230)
If you're headed on a trip where camping will be involved, this is the personal-item bag for you. Not only does it come in fun colorways, it's made with 100 percent recycled fabrics and has interior suitcase-style organization. There's a 15-inch laptop sleeve, large mesh water bottle holder at the side, and a zipper that goes around three sides of the pack, so you can also open it by laying it flat if you don't want to top load. The air mesh shoulder straps also make for a more comfortable carry than previous models.
