Peak Gear Foldable Backpack - Compact Packable Day Pack - Includes Lifetime Lost & Found ID

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.

This was perfect for my needs: Smaller than a full backpack but with actual space for some bulky items. Fits my large MacBook pro (laying in either direction) for carry-on use. Sturdy and water resistant. Lightweight and collapsable so I can pack it for later use on day trips. Some pockets but not a confusing abundance of them. Decent sized water bottle pouches..

Great travel companion! Super lightweight and packable. I use it at home and while traveling. Highly recommended

After 3 years of daily use, I just bought another one to replace it. It’s held up well, just a tear in the mesh water bottle pocket. I use it as a ‘purse’. Use it in lieu of grocery bag. It’s light weight, super roomy-with two large sections inside. It’s not structured, so collapses down flat. Fits my iPad fine. Zippers are still fine. May not look ‘classy’ but it’s versatile and functional.

*UPDATED* Original review- I have waited some time to write a product review because I wanted to thoroughly use and evaluate the bag. This is hands down the best item I have purchased in a long time! I am currently backpacking around the world and this is a great compact day pack! I love that the packing sac is attached to the bag and can be flipped inside out to be used as a pocket inside the main area (it has a double sided zipper). The bag is great quality, lightweight, and spacious. Are there smaller packable day packs out there? Yes. But for the quality and comfort, the extra space and weight in my bag, its worth it. I have noticed with other bags that the shoulder straps are flimsy and cut into your shoulders. The shoulder straps on this bag are extremely comfortable and do not dig in. They even have padding in them! It was important for me to find a bag that could fit my laptop in it. I can fit my 13 inch laptop in the main section of the pack with room to fit other items as well. It might be tough to fit a larger laptop in it though due to the dimensions. I also love that the bag had two mesh waterbottle sleeves. The mesh sleeves have some elastic and are able to stretch a bit. They easily fit a standard plastic waterbottle and slimmer reusable water bottles. I am not sure if they will fit a larger nalgene style bottle or not. This bag has been through the ringer and is holding up nicely! I have used it hiking as well and is a great bag for day hikes! Very comfortable! Washes well. The bag also comes with an optional location finder ID. I did not use these feature so am not able to comment on it. Overall this is a great packable day bag! I highly recommend! **updated February 2020** I am still in love with this bag! And it still receives 5 stars from me! I noticed after about 6 months of use, the inner lining (guessing the water resistance clear lining) started disintegrating and peeling off. This left the material less sturdy and started causing some rips. I'm not one to complain to a company or 'go to a manager in the store' , but since I loved this bag so much, I wanted to see if others who bought this were having similar problems, or to just make the company aware of this issue to help improve the product. So I contacted the company and they have absolutely AMAZING customer service! Responded promptly, informed me must be a defect (it happens -no biggy for me), apologized, and sent me a brand new one the very next day! Thank you Peak Gear for taking care of your customers and making sure they are happy with their products!

You can tell that this company cares about its products. It came in a very nice, thoughtful packaging that screams 'quality'. It came stuffed in its own pouch but I'm not sure if I want to stuff it back in for storage. Because the material is quite robust and not wrinkly like most cheaply made packable bags on Amazon, it will probably take some effort to fold and stuff itself back in its own pouch. It weighs almost nothing. I just lay it on top of everything else in my travel backpack. I used it in-flight to store all the things I may need like my 15-inch MacBook Pro (yes, it fits), headphone, tech pouch, and snacks. It holds its shape well and you can put a lot of stuff in it. I also used it during the trip while out and about shopping for things too. If you need a good quality day bag that weighs almost nothing and good looking to boot, I would highly recommend this bag.

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

Excellent! It replaces a light weight day pack that went all over the world with me. This one is also light weight , but made of stronger fabric, and the shoulder straps are much more comfortable. Highly recommend.

It's looks durable and I loved it!
