G4Free 10L/15L Hiking Backpack Lightweight Packable Hiking Daypack Small Travel Outdoor Foldable Shoulder Bag

Great lightweight, packable backpack. It’s very lightweight. The material feels durable. The straps adjust easily. The color is slightly more vibrant and pretty in person than on my screen. It folds up into the attached pouch quickly and easily. The pouch it folds into is ingenious - when the pack is in use, it’s an inner pocket at the top of the pack, perfect for stashing wallet, keys, chapstick, tampons, etc. There’s another outer pocket for quick access to other small items. I haven’t used my pack yet, so I can’t attest to durability or waterproofing. It’s really spacious but super sleek, not at all bulky.I bought this pack for multiple uses: first, as a small backpack at Disney World. I wasn’t sure which size would be best for me, so I ordered both the 15L and 20L. I’ll be keeping the 20L because it doesn’t feel too much bigger than the 15L when I’m wearing it, but it holds substantially more. Here’s what I fit into the 15L: adult woman’s medium-tall raincoat, child size 7 raincoat, child size 5 raincoat, two pairs of kids’ headphone/earmuffs (for blocking loud noises - my kids are scared of fireworks without these), 1L water bottle. There was a bit more space for incidentals (wallet, small bottle of sunscreen, small snacks, etc.), and two smaller (kid-sized) water bottles fit in the outside bottle pockets. These water bottle pockets wouldn’t hold a wide 1L bottle, but do hold a skinnier 24-ounce bottle. The 20L pack fit all of the above, plus a change of clothes for each of my kids (sizes 5 & 6-7) and myself (women’s medium). I might have been able to fit the kids’ clothes in the 15L along with everything else, but it would have been tight. I was really impressed with how roomy the pack was inside, and how much I was able to fit into it, given how small it looks from the outside and how not-bulky it feels to wear.I plan to also use this pack as a pack for shorter day hikes when I’m traveling by plane. I have a large hiking daypack with internal support and a waist belt, etc., for long hikes where I have to carry a lot of heavy gear/water/food. But it’s a pain to travel with - all the extra straps and waist belt make it super bulky, and if I don’t want to use it as a carry on, I can’t fit it in my suitcase. This pack is perfect to fold up small and toss into a suitcase to use as a pack while traveling. I wouldn’t do an intense or long hike with it, but it would be great for up to 5 miles or so - anything where I don’t need to carry a lot of weight. It would also be perfect to use as an extra bag for bringing home souvenirs, or to have a backpack while sightseeing seeing.The pack is such a good value for price that I’m probably going to keep both the 15L and the 20L, rather than returning the 15L like I had planned. I’m sure I’ll find uses for it.

Lightweight, compact, breathable. This bag does it all and is a great day bag for whatever you need to haul. It folds up into itself in a small pack with a carrying string, sort of like a handbag. But you'll probably just stuff this somewhere when it's empty instead of folding it up because you're lazy; not judging though. It seems fair quality for the price. Zippers are stout, but they seem like they will last. Not sure how long it will hold up, but I'm confident that I won't have any issues.

The media could not be loaded. I just received the item and have not used it and I cannot vouch for its long term durability or how well it stands up to rugged use etc.However the material seems really good. I have not tried the backpack in rain but the material really feels like it would repel water really well. The zippers are strong. The design is compact.It would be great f backpacks of different styles were made of this material, packs such as book bags and day packs .The pack folds into a pouch that is attached to the "inner neck" of the backpack. This is convenient since a lot of packable backpacks have pouches that separate from the rest of the backpack and it means that the pouch could get misplaced from the backpack. Of course a bit of a con is that the pouch is a bit narrow and it takes some maneuvering to put the entire pack in the pouch. It would be better if the attached pouch were made wider.But also I ordered the beige color and the color I received is slightly different (a bit more yellowish) than what it looks like on the site. I am not sure if I will return this one for a different color, but basically like this backpack.I will update on my findings .UPDATE June 7 2024I tried using the backpack for the first time this day. I do like the feel of the material. The zippers are strong and the construction is really good.Important con though: The shape of uppermost part of the pack is "C-shaped." The straps are not individually sewn to the top of the back of the pack with approximately an inch and a half of space between the straps as is more common in backpacks .. See photo to see comparason of designs.Of course the "C-shape" or "Rounded-shape" is supposed to be more "Ergonomic" because the part of the backpack that meets your neck and upper shoulders is more like the shape of a collarless vest and it is supposed to make the pack feel better on the back of your neck and shoulders. And, perhaps those who designed this backpack believe that this makes the backpack more comfortable to have on your shoulders.However What this design does is inherently make the straps go to the outer side of your shoulders as you wear the pack and the straps can more easily slide off to the sides of your shoulders. Of course it can depend if you have broad shoulders or sloping shoulders or it can depend on your own size, whether you are diminutive or large in physique, yet I would say in general this design will make the pack have a downward pull on your shoulders that can make your back and shoulders ache especially if the pack is filled with some heavy items but even the pack is empty or only has a few lightweight items in it this could still happen. If you are walking gravity makes the straps pull awkwardly on your shoulders you may eventually feel as much discomfort and pain or aches as if the pack had some heavy things in it.Also the pack does not have a waist strap. Of course smaller packs like this typically do not, but the material of the pack is a bit rigid ( which is good for more durability and some water resistance) but the pack will feel uncomfortable swinging side to side as you walk with it on your shoulders.So I would say that I do like this backpack very much. I think I will keep it. However there are some design flaws to it .Update 6-27-24I decided to return it and see if I can find a larger size. The smaller compartment is too small and the zipper does not open wide enough and I need to fit larger items in the smaller compartment and I cannot comfortably or easily fit my hand into the smaller compartment to get items out.

This little bag is the perfect bag to use for your daily walk. Its big enough for your keys, your wallet, a bottle of water and your camera. Best of all it is light weight and folds up to put in a drawer.

I love hiking and these backpack is perfect for a day hike. You can keep an extra layer, snacks and a water bottle, plus more in it. Super lightweight too.

Bought this for a trip to Alaska. It has now traveled to several other countries! It is so lightweight so convenient and so roomy! My favorite little travel bag!

Teen and tween sons use these to hold their water bottles and phones while they are mountain biking

I was looking for a small, lightweight inexpensive backpack, and this one is all of that. My issues are that the side pouches designed for water bottles are too small to even fit my Owala water bottle, which isn't very wide. And it's very.... crackly. It's stiff and makes a lot of noise when you get into it. So... I got what I paid for but I can't say I'm thrilled with it.
