ZOMAKE Lightweight Packable Backpack 35L, Light Foldable Backpacks Water Resistant Collapsible Hiking Bag, Compact Folding Day Pack for Travel Camping(Black)Carbonfree Certified

Very handy and able to pack lots of things yet still be lightweight. Comfortable to carry. Durable zippers. Convenient to convert for packing in suitcase for travel. Plenty of pocket space and roomy water bottle pockets.

I bought this backpack for an upcoming, month-long trip to Japan. My main luggage will be a larger backpack (TLS Motherlode Weekender), but there are several points where I’ll be leaving my larger backpack behind and traveling for 1-2 nights with this smaller backpack instead. So, I wanted a backpack that is extremely lightweight, takes up very little room when packed, is waterproof, holds enough to act as an overnighter, and is comfortable to wear. I feel like I hit the jackpot with this backpack.To test it out, I used it as my carry-on for a 7-night trip to Hawaii. I’ve included three photos showing it packed for the trip. I managed to fit a 9x12” folder with about 1/2” thick stack of letter-sized paper, 5 sketchbooks (I’m testing them too), two bags of pens and other art supplies, a bag of sundries, my iPad, phone, wallet, earphones, a cardigan, water bottle and all the other little stuff one carries on a trip. You can see all of this in the first photo. The second photo is a peak inside the bag with it full packed and still room to spare. The backpack has one large inner compartment, with an unpadded laptop sleeve sized big enough to easily fit the folder, iPad and my two largest sketchbooks. The large compartment is generously sized and will easily fit a small or medium packing cube along with toiletries and a smaller selection of art supplies for my Japan trip. There are also two zippered compartments on the front. The top compartment easily fit my wallet and smart phone. The half moon pocket below is quite large, and further divided inside with a pocket, and a zippered mesh pocket to make it easy to organize all your little things. There are also two mesh water bottle holders - one on either side, and the top elastic held my water bottles quite securely. My third photo is of the backpack with the aforementioned load. (Notice there’s still room to spare.In Hawaii, I used the bag almost every day when going on different excursion. Despite its lack of padding, the wide shoulder straps distributed the load quite evenly and I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable it was, even with a heavy-ish load and longer (mile plus) walks. It also rained on us for the first two days of our trip, and I can now confirm that the backpack is waterproof as well. The only thing I didn’t love were the chest straps. As a woman, I found they were placed just a little lower than was optimal. They can slide up and down for best fit, but the highest placement was still a little low, but not so low that I couldn’t use them for extra security when hiking over more uneven terrain. The fourth photo, shows the chest strap buckled. (You can also see the bright orange emergency whistle/buckle - not my favorite feature)The last photo, I tried to show the backpack’s profile when worn. It’s definitely a slimmer profile than many, which is nice as well.If you find this review useful, please click the ‘helpful’ link below - your feedback really helps encourage me to keep writing these reviews, and taking the pictures to go along with.

The back pack is ultra light weight and should be perfect for our Alaska adventures. Roomy enough for a warm jacket, 32oz water bottle , sanitizer, sunscreen and a few snacks with room to spare. The size is just right for my purpose.

This is an inexpensive pack, but for the price I thought it was a very good value. It comes in a wide variety of colors, I chose bright yellow to make it easy to see and also so I could easily personalize it to Hufflepuff by addition of a house crest patch. It can hold quite a lot, it folds for storage or packing, there is a lot of adjustment in the various straps. We looked it over carefully and the seams don't seem to be badly done, and are wrapped and/or double sewn to avoid raveling problems. I haven't yet used it, so can't say how it will stand up, but so far I am quite happy about it.Yes, the shoulder straps don't have a lot of padding, yes, there aren't as many pockets/divisions as some more expensive packs. But for the price, I consider it a good value.

I purchased this backpack in the Fall of 2023 for a trip to Hawaii. I wanted something to take on the plane that could hold a laptop, purse, clothes, and other essentials. I packed it full. I have now used this backpack for 5 airplane trips and a few road trips, and it has held up great. My only complaint, which is my fault, is that I left it out in the sun for a few days to air out, and the print faded a little. Nothing too noticeable. Overall, I am pleasantly surprised by how well this backpack has performed. I figured that for the price, it would fall apart after one trip. Oh, and that you can fold into a little pack is a bonus.

Extremely light weight windbreaker material. And large enough to fit everything I need for a beach day out of town. Seems durable, but I’ll know more after I stuff it to the max.

Super light, but no way is it 35L. It's a very convenient size, but it doesn't compare with other images of what it claims to hold. I like it and will keep it, but I need a more truthful gauge as to capacity. It could also use a velcro strap to hold the internal pocket closed and maybe a band across the back so it can sit on top of a rolling suitcase.

This makes for an excellent travel bag. Folds up nicely for storage in main luggage and is a perfect size and durable quality…holds a lot and isn’t flimsy at all. We used for beach and hiking when getting to our destination. Lots of pockets and holds two water bottles.
