ZOMAKE Lightweight Packable Backpack 35L, Water Resistant Foldable Day Pack

Super handy for day trips: folds up small into pouch, very lightweight material, water resistant, enough pockets for smaller items. Great value for money.

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.

Packaging was okay. Quality is very good. It's nice. It's light. It'll fold up for you so you don't have to carry a big bulk bag until you need it and it does hold a lot of stuff. Very good quality. Very happy with it pastor, it's very nice. It will hold quite a bit of stuff

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.

It is sturdy but lightweight with just enough pockets. I live that it folds down so that you can zip it into its own pouch which also converts into a zipper pocket.

Very nice backpack. Folds up easily to its own pouch. Straps are padded and comfortable. Zippers work well. Perfect as a backup for travel when you just need a lightweight backpack. Love the pattern too.

Great choice very satisfied with this purchase , strong and durable backpack lightweight

Bought this backpack because it listed its maximum weight limit (20 lbs) and it was similar to the last lightweight backpack Purchased from Amazon . Unlike the last backpack and EVERY backpack I have ever owned this pack has no privacy zipper or ANY separator in the small rear compartment . Plus only one zipper pull on on the small compartment meaning so you cant just open a little and grab something without opening one side completely . Color is perfect , has a sleeve for Laptop in main compartment and it seems well made - just made a bit cheaply

Ein schöner und leichter Rucksack der sich sehr klein zusammenfalten lässt. Viele gute Reissverschlüsse, sehr gut verarbeitet, einige Fächer. Ich war überrascht, bei diesem günstigen Preis ein so gutes Produkt zu erhalten. Bei meiner Städtetour im Urlaub hat er mir gute Dienste geleistet. Vor allem schwitzt man nicht, wenn man ihn am Rücken trägt und nicht nur über die Schulter hängt. Ob er auch für eine Expedition auf die höchsten Berge taugt, kann ich nicht beurteilen, aber ich denke, niemand käme auf die Idee....oder vielleicht doch...wie auch immer, ich empfehle dieses Produkt ohne Einschränkungen.

Un sac léger, compact, très bien pour un appoint.

Zeer handig en degelijk ! gebruik hem dagelijks.

Jest nieco wiekszy niz 20l mini bagaz Ryanair, co powoduje ze swietnie sie sprawdza w tej roli (zostaje ze 2l miejsca - 35l ze specyfikacji to tylko taki żarcik). Jest wygodny do noszenia, dosc maly po zlozeniu, a dzieki licznym paskom jest tez bardzo wygodny do troczenia na gorze sakw na bagazniku rowerowym, jako ekstra przestrzeń do zapakowania np. biezacych zakupow na wyjezdzie. I raczej mocny - bez strat przeżył 2 tygodnie na Saharze.

Loved the colour, the size, the light weight. Has a whistle on it to help u feel a bit safer. Lots of decent sized pockets and completely water proof. Even in Scottish weather. Your things stay dry. Amazing can't praise it enough.
