ZOMAKE Ultra Lightweight Packable Backpack 25L, Foldable Hiking Backpacks Water Resistant Small Folding Daypack for Travel(Army Green)

While designed to foldup and take in you regular luggage and use as a day pack, I bought it for taking an over night trip. It's size is perfect for a personal item on budget airlines (Frontier). It's negatives are also it's positives. Three zippered pockets, minimal inside pouches, no padding taking up room or weight. The main section is double zippered, I fit 2 shirts, 3 pair of socks, pair of shoes, change of underwear, a lightweight anorak and a cap. The 2nd held toiletries, power bars, battery pack and charging cables. The 3rd smallest is good for little thing you need to get at quickly. I put sunglasses, wet wipes and earpods in there. This isn't sercurable, so best not put valuables here.The shoulder straps are thin and minimally padded, the top loop is small. The two outside water pouches are small too, best to hold 16-20 oz bottles. This is not a back back to hit the trails with, but a manageable unobtrusive pack to get around a city. And you won't be THAT GUY on the subway whacking people with the ginormous pack.

Grabbed this last minute for our son to use to take as hand luggage on a flight, this was nearly 2 years ago and it’s been in every journey with us since. Lots of pockets, folds up nice and it cheap! Honestly a great buy!

I bought both the 25L (ZOMAKE Small Hiking Backpack, 25L Lightweight Travel Backpack Packable Backpack Daypack for Women Men) and 35L (ZOMAKE Ultra Lightweight Hiking Backpack - Packable Durable Water Resistant Travel Backpack Daypack for Women Men) to compare. I am a petite woman (5'0) and was happy to find these packs for hiking that weren't too long on my frame.Pictures: The first 5 pictures are for the 25L specifically. Comparison photos - 35L on the left and 25L on the right.Length: The 25L claims to be 16.1" and the 35L cites 15.7". I found them to be about the same length in reality especially when filled out. They are good for my torso length of about 19".Fit and features: They both sit well on my shoulders and not like they will slip off. However, the 35L features a chest strap which really locks everything in place while the 25L does not. The 35L also comes with adjustable straps on the side which is really helpful in holding my taller water bottle in place and making the pack tighter if I'm not carrying much inside. My water bottle did not feel secure in the 25L especially when filled up. The profile of the 25L is sleeker/narrow naturally so I don't feel like the side straps are necessary for that aspect. Zippers on both work well.Color: The color Army Green is pretty true to the pictures, though a little darker and a little more teal which I am personally very happy about.Capacity: I just stuffed a bunch of clothes to fill them out and was able to fit a lot in both. The 35L did hold a little more (as expected) and mainly because of the extra space in the front pockets.Both are good lightweight options but I like the chest and side straps and extra room in the 35L so will be returning the 25L. I haven't actually used these to hike in yet, but these are my initial impressions.

I needed a lightweight backpack to carry on airplanes and use for a day pack while traveling. I looked at a lot of different designs and finally choose this one. I'm not disappointed. It is lightweight and pack-able, but the fabric is still heavy enough to be durable and stiff enough to hold open when you excess the inside. Lots of pockets and good zippers.I wished the shoulder straps had a little more padding, but I understand that that would make it less pack-able. I also wished it came with a chest strap, so I added one, but for the price that would be asking a lot.

This was a great little pack for my husband and I's trip to South America and exactly what I was looking for. We checked 1 backpacking bag each and this little bag served as our personal item (books, media, toilitries, drink and snacks) on all the flights and walks around the towns. It is lightweight and foldable, which is what we needed when we needed to put into our larger backpacking pack.Cons: this is not a structured backpack, which means oddly shaped items within may be annoying against your back. The netted pockets on the outside were not deep enough to reliably hold 32oz Nalgenes, which kept popping out when putting the pack on.Pros: lightweight and foldable, good color, kept everything organized, perfect size

This backpack was perfect for sightseeing days during our cruise. It stores away easy and has plenty of room inside.

Nice Light weight back pack.

I was looking for a backpack that was lightweight for hiking. After reading the reviews I know this was the backpack for me. I love how it folds up into a tiny pouch. I have yet to do it, but the fact that it can fold up so smallMeans it is easy to travel with and willTake up no room in a suitcase. We got the teal green which I love.
