Peak Gear Foldable Backpack - Compact Packable Day Pack - Includes Lifetime Lost & Found ID, Black, Medium, Traveling

Bought this for a trip to Costa Rica. Have previously owned the Sea to Summit day pack which I loved bc it’s so lightweight and packs so small. But I’ve owned 2 and they both got tears in them pretty quickly on hikes bc of rock scrambling. Wanted to try something different/cheaper this time. Super happy with this backpack. It doesn’t fold up as small as the sea to summit but for me that hasn’t mattered at all. The material is thicker and feels stronger than the sea to summit but it’s still lightweight and foldable. I like that the style is of a regular backpack. The zippered pocket that the backpack folds into acts as a little zippered compartment inside the top area of the big part of the bag when it’s in backpack form. The mesh sides seem strong and is big enough for a full 750ml camelback. It doesn’t feel lopsided either with the water bottle in just one side if you have stuff in the main compartment. The mesh sides could be taller but water bottle hasn’t fallen out when worn. Also love that there are holders that keep the strap excess in place. The zippers are smooth YKK. The price is great. The straps are lightly padded and comfortable. I was originally going to wear a regular backpack as my carryon and take this as a hiking and day excursion bag but I actually just brought it as my carry on too. So using it for both. It’s a little smaller than a regular school backpack style but still fits a lot/enough. It’s the perfect lightweight foldable backpack that’s thick/sturdy enough to function as a regular backpack at a great price.

I bought this pack for dog walks. Fits all the necessities (including a 2l water bottle) and is comfortable to wear for an extended period. The fact that it folds into itself and can be easily tucked away is an added bonus.

Calidad. Ligero. Lo volvería a comprar

Justo lo que necesitaba, super practica y versátil

I used the Peak Gear foldable backpack during a month traveling around France and England. It’s around 20L (16x12x6in) and weighs 7.65 oz (217g). Unlike other lighter packs, it doesn’t get wrinkley and it’s comfortable for the whole day. It has 2 water bottle pockets so I used the second one for my sunglasses case or my umbrella, depending on the weather. It’s strong enough for a bottle of wine and groceries in addition to whatever else I was carrying. I think it looks nicer than the ones by backpacking/hiking companies and didn’t make me feel like I stood out in Paris or London. There is an internal pocket meant for a laptop or folders, but I found that by placing my wallet in that pocket, it was pretty much invisible when I opened the backpack, so that felt more secure. In addition to being my day pack for adventures, it was a lifesaver for carrying my groceries and other purchases from town to town on trains and buses. I wore it several times in light rain and it protected my things but I was never in a heavy downpour so I can’t attest to complete water proofing. I ended up checking my carry on bag when I returned home and it was perfect to use as my personal item for a few extra items I picked up along the way. I will be using this around town now that I’m home and not reserving it for travel.
