Gonex 30L Lightweight Packable Backpack Handy Small Daypack For Travel Camping Hiking Cycling Outdoor Sport

Update: 16/04/2018 I've been living out of this bag for the last 8 months, sometimes completely over stuffing it with heavy articles of clothing. It still looks brand new. There is no indication that it is struggling with how much I fill it with, and it gets thrown around wherever I am. Absolutely delighted with this purchase.I bought this bag because I'm taking a couple of mini trips this year and I either have a suitcase which is far too big, or a handbag which is far too small. I liked the look of this bag, the price, and the reviews so decided to chance my arm and am I so glad I did! The quality of this bag is second to none. It feels so incredibly light that it couldn't possibly be good quality, but it is fantastic. I love how it folds into itself for such easy storage; nothing bugs me more than stuff that's not being used taking up a lot of space, this barely takes up any.As a test run, I packed 5 days worth of clothing, shoes, toiletries, and a towel into this bag, still with room to spare. The straps are very thin but surprisingly comfortable: I thought maybe how thin they are would make them uncomfortable but not at all. I've yet to take the first trip so I'm not sure what it's like to wear for long periods, but will update the review if anything changes.Overall I'd recommend this backpack, but especially for the price of it. You won't do much better than this.

It's so light and roomy with lots of hide away pouches. My previous light weight rucksack gave up the ghost after serving me faithfully for years. When I looked at this one I thought it will at least a trip or 2. I was very surprised when it arrived and even more surprised when I packed it for my trip. After travelling with it have way round the world with a couple of stop overs, I can say truly this is a very good bag. I can't say its waterproof as I haven't been caught in a downpour with it. It still looks clean and new (that in itself is a miracle). The one niggle thing is that the zip kept getting caught in the flap just above the brand name, although it was easy to put away and didn't affect anything. I would definitely buy this again just as a back up incase my son decides he wants it -i've noticed him eyeing it since I got back!

I bought this backpack as a lightweight and more eco-friendly alternative to the plastic Lidl bags I was using to hold all of my work stuff. I can say that so far, having had this backpack for a couple of weeks, I’m very satisfied! As an archaeologist, I’m outside in all weather conditions, so my tools and gear can get pretty dirty. This bag is easy to clean, and has been durable enough to handle my hand tools, lunch, and smaller bits of gear (vis vests, waterproofs, the odd hoodie). When I’m working the bag is usually inside a cabin, so it’s not getting too battered, but I can see this standing up to a fair bit of use if you were to use it traveling/for day trips hiking and such. It has plenty of pockets too, which is handy. The backpack folds back up fairly easily, and when it’s unfolded the pocket becomes a great place to store a phone/headphones. Plus the side pocket holds my 1L water bottle which is a major plus for me. Overall a great product for what I was looking for, and at a really good price.

It's always useful to have a folding bag squished inside your main bag just in case you need an extra when travelling or shopping - and this little bag really delivers. In fact, it's fantastic.First off: this product is not just a useful gimmick. Yes, it folds up amazingly small inside the pouch (and just as important is still easy to get back in!) but it DOESN'T skimp on quality. The material is tough enough for everyday use as a travel daypack, and the seams and stitching are strong - despite the low price this isn't a "free gift". It's a real bag that happens to pack up small.Second, it doesn't offer fewer features. It's got all the straps, pockets, and compartments of a normal laptop bag, and you can stuff it pretty full without worrying you're going to break it. An excellent product. I bought one for myself but will shortly be buying them for my extended family in several colours!

Just that bit larger than the other offerings in the 'packable' rucksacks. This one is a bit bright but the other colours may suit better for you, I like the extra safety of the orange and it can be used as a flag in emergency on the hills summer or winter. There is a good inner pocket which is against your back so fill that with the soft stuff to make the bag comfortable whilst scrambling. Hard equipment can then go in the main part of the sack. The two water bottle pockets are useful and the shoulder straps are a bit padded, unlike the Eurohike one, the chest strap is a nice touch on a budget item. Makes it more comfortable in use. The whole thing packs into its own pocket and is perfect to take on holiday for those extra purchases or to use as carry on bag. The only thing I cannot comment on is its waterproofness, it doesn't look great in that department but I have not had to test that yet.

Really really like this product, so much so this is my second one, I wore the last one out and gave it to a homeless guy on my travels after having used it most days for a number of years. The only gripe I have is the external small pocket zip catch’s on the waterproof flap which is annoying. Saying this I would highly recommend this bag due to its weight, number of pockets and capacity for my day to day activities.

Absolute genius of an idea! I've used it a lot since I've had it, carrying everything from clothes to lots of paperwork to photography gear. I was a bit sceptical about how waterproof it might be, but when I used it on my photography outing the rain was coming down horizontally and it kept everything dry after about an hour of being outside.Once I'd unpacked it from its sleeve I wasn't sure I'd be able to get it back again, but all I did was stuff it back and it was fine.Definitely pleased with my purchase and have bought three more in orange, purple and red for the wife and kids The colours are spot on with those you see on screen.
