Outlander Packable Handy Lightweight Travel Hiking Backpack Daypack, Black

UPDATE:It's been two years since I got this bag and it is still a little amazing wonder! I'm finally caving and buying another because after two years of abuse, the water resistance isn't what it used to be. Other than that? The bag looks just as it did the day I got it (but a little dirtier). There are no rips or tears or snags anywhere. I will continue to use this bag for some things but I need that water resistance. I think that the abuse it's taken over the two years it has served me is above and beyond anything any other bag could've survived (I had one piece of expensive luggage not survive the same trips as this backpack)My bag has served me extremely well during my initial month long adventure mentioned in the first review. It then spent Christmas in Budapest, tons of short trips near home, January and February well above the Arctic Circle in Finland, a month island hopping in Greece, and a last minute trip to see the solar eclipse in Oregon. I love it and it has definitely served me well. I look forward to the new adventures I will have with my new (more water resistant) bag!****************************************************************This bag has wowed and amazed people the world over. Well, not the whole world but a few countries and I've no doubt that it will continue to wow and amaze.I bought it specifically for a month long urban adventure with my mum in Europe where we had a flat and shopped at markets and grocery stores. This pack lived in my regular travel bag and, occasionally, in my purse (which is not a large purse by any means) ready for any occasion we would need a larger bag or when we would stop at the market or grocery for provisions. I was always met with skepticism when I turned down a plastic bag and pulled out this tiny, green pouch. At one grocery, the employee was so fascinated that she demanded that I "do it again" while she called her co-workers over to witness the magic of a sizable backpack emerging from a little pouch. My mum, of course, asked me if they were going to burn me at the stake as they all oooh'd and aaaaaah'd at the "magic!" She's precious, my mum.The bag also came in handy for wet swimming suits and wet towels and, turned inside out, dried out straightaway.You can stuff a shocking number of items in here. Items with corners, heavy items, delicate items... It's like Mary Poppin's bag, really. Best of all, it's really comfortable to wear once you've shoved bottles of drink and dinner and breakfast for two (plus a bottle of liquor) in it.I remember reading others mentioning height issues so I'm a whopping 5'2" and it worked fine for me. My mum is somewhere just under 5' and she was comfortable wearing it as well.

What a great backpack! It is extremely lightweight but holds a lot! I haven't actually carried it yet but it is packed for an upcoming trip and I think it will be exactly what I've been looking for! I travel quite a bit and have looked for a long time for something that I can carry along with a carry-on, that will hold a lot of things but still be able to carry for a long time. I have a lot packed in it and hope that it will hold up but with a lifetime guarantee how can you go wrong? I'm so excited about taking it on this next trip but also for using it when I ride my bike since I always want my phone, water, sports towel, etc and I think it will be perfect for that also! I like that the straps are netting and won't be hot when biking! I'll update after I've used it for a while and since this next trip is in two weeks, I should have a real good opinion by then! It is a trip to a lot of different waterparks and I'm planning on using it daily to carry everything I will need! I've already ordered another one for my granddaughter to use on the same trip!UPDATE: I used this backpack for my self and another one for my granddaughter for our trip and it worked perfectly! We packed them as a carry-on for the plane and then used it every day for the trips to the waterparks! It holds a lot and is easy to carry. It's really comfortable, water resistant and the straps are made of netting, which sounds strange but makes it really easy to carry even when it's full! They held up very well except the blue one is pulling apart a little at the top handle but I think it will still hold. I'll update if it comes apart and let you know how they handle it.

Outlander Packable Handy Lightweight Travel Backpack DaypackDid you have trouble with the shoulder straps that others have complained about?"This backpack is exactly what it says it is. This met and exceeded my expectations.What I wanted was a backpack to fit my back, I am 5' 3" and normal weight, that weighed nothing, so I could fit anything and everything that I might need, and more, on an airplane trip, including a possibly, well,likely...., delay in flights, etc. I didn't need or want lots of padding and did I want not want many zippers.It is plenty big enough to hold as much as I'm willing to carry. It has only three zippers, this is perfect for dealing with passport, etc. but the main compartment is quite large and will hold quite a lot. The thing is weightless and hand washable.To top it off, it folds into a small zipped square at the end of it! I never did fold it back up as it was so easy to put that day's stuff into, or whatever I collected during that day I'd just shove it in, and I was able to kick it under wherever it was I needed to, or just as well carry it on my lap. I can say that I do recognize this material, it is really nice, I like it a lot, but this material breathes, so that if one were to wear it on the back it would be as friendly as a backpack can be. If you are looking for something you can put a lot of weight into, this isn't the one for you.I can't say I wore it much on my back that much as I was warned against pickpockets, etc, so I tended to wear both straps on one shoulder. It's already hand washed and ready to go next time! My third time using it quite a lot.I hope this helps. Best regards, Patricia Happy 2014

We bought an Outlander backpack in 2014 and are still using it. The inside lining of the main compartment is starting to break apart a little. For our recent trip we got an additional one so we each had one. We like how portable it is - light and foldable. Unlike other lightweight travel backpacks, it has two outer zippered pockets and is not just a shapess sack with shoulder straps. Compared to our old one, the new one has an inner fabric pocket (not very useful actually) and bungee straps for bottles to keep them from falling out. This last feature is great! The reason it got a star knocked off the rating is that after only one week of traveling, the edge of one of the bottle pockets has started to fray already. Another reviewer has a picture of this defect - that is exactly what happened to ours. This is therefore not a one-off problem. For the rest of the trip we had to keep the bottle in the main compartment, which made getting a drink of water more cumbersome and we had to make sure the bottle didn't leak. The opposite bottle pocket is still okay but we didn't want to stress it so didn't use it.

All the reasons to buy this great little backpack:(1) Convenient to keep in the luggage for those extra things you bring home.(2) So lightweight, but very sturdy and well made, perfect for lugging around all your "stuff" when at attractions / hiking(3) For reason number 2 above, great to keep 1 in your car / beach bag / tote(4) I recommend picking up a nice neutral color so no one has an excuse not to carry it! (for all those extra's & maybe someone else will carry the extra bag) (Why does everyone hand me their jackets / keys / collectible cups when finished... etc.???) I am not a pack mule... lol... nice thing is no one minds slinging this over their shoulder.(5) So small and compact when in its pouch & yes, I tried putting it back in the pouch myself to see if it would fit & with very little effort was able to repack it (almost) as good as factory compactness.Nice and convenient, I keep 1 in my luggage permanently so I will not forget it.Awesome for movie bag... I will buy their soda and popcorn, but draw the line at the candy... hit the dollar store on the way and have everyone pick out their favorites!!! (I digress... ahem.... yes, this is a great multi-purpose bag that is so convenient & compact when not in use :-)I really rely on honest reviewers, real purchasers, so please click below if this info has helped at all. Thank you and Enjoy!

I've gotten 10 years of use out of mine. It's finally showing signs of wear, and I intend to get another when the current one is no longer usable.It's quite strong despite the modest weight. I can safely carry my laptop, camera with 200mm lens, and my chargers (my electronics that I can't/won't pack in my checked luggage when I fly). The backpack particularly helpful when I'm flying and am not allowed a bag in the overhead bin. This will leave enough space for your feet under the seat in front of you.Folding it is also intuitive. I don't even know how I do it, but it just works.

I purchased this for my trip to Iceland and while it was not waterproof, it held quite a bit of items and was very light and comfortable to use. Had a decent zippered pocket and the water bottle holder help up well. I'd recommend this pack, and even stuffed full, it didn't feel like it would rip.

I bought this backpack about 5 months ago and wanted to use it a few times before writing a review. I love this thing! It compacts so small. It’s perfect for travel when you need a nice quality day pack. I also used it for a 20 mile hike/race. It was super light, comfortable, breathable, carried all my rain gear, snacks, waterbottle, wallet, hat. Walking sticks were a little hard to carry in there.. it wasn’t tall enough for some foldable walking sticks. The material and zippers are quality and seem to still be holding up to the abuse I put it through. I definitely would gift this to someone that likes to travel or go on spontaneous adventures!

Only got this bag on Friday, but have used it twice now for swimming with the family. Large bag easily holds a couple large bath/beach towels, suits, flip-flops and goggles with room to spare. When I showed my wife the listing she was skeptical, but she was really impressed with the bag once it arrived and we've had a chance to use it. We're going on a cruise this year so this thing will be perfect to throw in the suitcase for use on day trips and shore excursions.Solid construction. Nice zippers. Usable pockets. Large mesh side pockets with tightening bands to hold your water bottle in place. Key ring hook. Decent straps. And it all folds in on itself into a nice little pouch!I'm a big guy (6', 350 lb) and this thing actually fits me with both straps on, which is more than I can say for some other "lightweight" packs my wife has bought for this purpose.All that said, I think you would be disappointed if you are thinking to buy this for use as an everyday bag. Because of the fact that it is built to be light and collapsable, the bag has no form, shape or padding. It's sort of like having a reusable grocery bag with backpack straps so while it certainly has the capacity to hold things like a large laptop you could probably find a better bag for every day use. But for use as a highly-portable, lightweight day pack, this thing rocks!

Se compacta mucho y es ultra ligera. Ideal para llevar cambios de ropa y artículos que no pesen tanto… para prolongar su tiempo de vida. Relación calidad y precios muy buena!

Bought this for my walks and hikes and it’s very useful for keeping a small umbrella and water bottle in together with towels and toiletries. So far it has lasted really long without any wear and tear, best purchase ever. Will bring this on my travels as well.

Does what it says

bello,robusto,grande a sufficienza quando aperto e piccolo come si deve quando chiuso. Veramente fatto benissimo
