ZOMAKE Lightweight Packable Backpack 30L Foldable Hiking Backpacks Water Resistant Compact Folding Daypack for Travel Dark Blue

I have purchased 3 in school color for teachers to take basic nursing supplies on field trips (tissues, bandaids, feminine products, etc). Looks like average backpack students would use. It’s thin and light weight, but durable enough to stand up to the back and forth shuffle of frequent (even daily) field trips. Plenty of room for teachers to put their own stuff in as well (folder, notebook, water bottle, even light jacket.). Multiple roomy pockets/organizers and mesh has stayed strong with no tears. Can fold up to small pocket for storage when empty. Straps are not thick foam and supportive, but not expected for this type of backpack. Would recommend. Read more

I used this for a trip to Austria. My mom bought one as well. We loved this backpack! It was so sturdy, so comfortable and easy to fold up and unfold. I really liked that it had adjustable straps. It even had a strap for the front which helped alot when the backpack got heavy. I loved the variety of compartments outside and inside the backpack. It was super easy to pack and folds fairly flat. I was even in the rain and nothing got wet inside of my backpack! Works fantastic! Read more

I bought and kept this backpack for its size, pockets, and it holds my 32 oz water bottle (many packs only hold a 20 oz). It worked well as my on-plane “personal item”, beach bag, and hiking backpack for our 2 week trip, but towards the end I started noticing the seams coming loose and some straps starting to rip. Overall I’m glad I had it, but if you need to find something to last you’ll have to spend more than $20. Best features: - Water resistant - I didn’t initially consider this feature when buying, but we ended up hiking in light rain for an hour and a half and almost no water got through the material. A few items were moist when I took them out of the top pocket, and at one point I set the backpack on the ground and some books I had at the bottom experienced some water damage, but that was my bad as I don’t expect the material to resist sitting on watery ground for half an hour. - Sand Resistant - This was surprising and super nice to discover. I plopped this bag down on sand multiple times without considering I’d probably get sand all over and within it, but I’ve now emptied it completely and there’s almost no sand anywhere on or inside it. - Large Capacity - I was able to fit 2 beach towels, multiple books, snacks, swimsuits, a polaroid camera, and many other little things within the pockets altogether and that doesn’t include the mesh pockets on the outside. I was able to fit my 32 oz water bottle as mentioned, and on the other side I stuck sunscreen, a tripod, bug spray, and whatever small garbage we accumulated. - Great Pockets - I needed a minimum of 2 small pockets and 2 larger pockets and that’s exactly what this provided. The largest pocket has a laptop sleeve that fit my 13” MacBook, but there was no padding so I stuck one in from my Fjallraven Kanken backpack and that fit perfectly along with the laptop. I loved the small pockets’ designs because both were perfect for different things. I stuck all my chargers and battery pack in one while the other held chapsticks, sea bands, ear plugs, vitamins, and other little things that would’ve drowned at the bottom of the large pockets. - Minimal Straps - I hate excess straps swinging everywhere as I’m walking, and this backpack had nothing excessive. I ended up really liking the chest strap for walking multiple miles because it took some of the weight off my shoulders. - Clips - The clips (or rings) on the carrying straps were really nice. I carried my keys on one side and pepper spray hanging from the other. What it needed: - Phone Pocket - This really could use a mesh pocket on the carrying straps for a phone. I had to keep taking the pack off the reach one of the small pockets to retrieve my phone. - Padded Carrying Straps - When carrying 20-30 lbs. for miles, this got slightly painful on the shoulders. I understand that this backpack is designed the fold and pack into itself however and this would prevent that feature. - Padded Laptop Sleeve - This also would prevent it from being a collapsible/packable backpack, but even if they provided a removable pad would make all the difference. I wouldn’t have been able to carry this as comfortably as I did if it hadn’t been for the removable laptop pad that I already had from another backpack. - Additional Clip or Loop - One of Zomake’s other backpacks has a fabric loop on the back between pockets that allowed you to clip something small like a Bluetooth speaker on it, and that’s what this one was missing. It’s a small feature but could easily be added and would be a really nice bonus. Overall this is a great one-trip pack and served all of our purposes wonderfully. And for $20 I’m impressed.

Perfect Disney backpack. It was lightweight and didn’t make us hot wearing it. It held all of our items. I really liked the outside pockets to hold water bottles. Read more

This is my fifth lightweight packable backpack which I use on a daily basis (I have quite severe osteoporosis so I carry a little extra weight or shopping in the backpack). This one seems to be made from very robust material and is showing virtually no sign of wear even though I have had it for five months. The only con, a minor one, is that it does not have a small inside pocket so I keep a largish colored zipper bag inside for easy access to smaller items that I may need quickly. I travel a lot so I fold up the backpack and then have a day bag at my destination plus extra luggage space, should I need it. Read more

I've tried a few of these lower cost packable bags recently and so far this is my favorite. The chest strap is a great addition and makes carrying the pack easy. The backpack packs into itself and stowing the backpack is very simple and easy. Because it is packable, the bag does not have a lot of structure when not fully packed. Not an issue for me, just making it clear as it might not be obvious from product photos. The material and zippers seem good enough. Definitely feels like the pack can take a beating without needing to worry about durability. Pack seems versatile but probably best used as a day pack or gym bag, i do not plan to take this hiking or carry it for long periods of time. Overall I really like the pack and it deserves the praise it gets. If you're looking for a low cost packable pack that gets the job done, you can't go wrong with this. Read more

So, I'll preface my review with the fact that this is a budget backpack. Just know you're not getting something you're going to want to pack full of heavy stuff and walk around hiking all day. That being said, this is a great backpack! I bought it for our trips to theme parks and it has worked perfectly. It's deep and wide, so it fits a ton. I was able to pack water shoes, a swimsuit, two towels, and a packed lunchbox all together. It was a little heavy and the unpadded shoulder straps made it a little uncomfortable, but not so bad I'd spend an extra $50+ on something else. There are multiple pockets, which is great. And there's a chest strap, which does make a difference. Overall, a really great buy! Read more
