Can you get a heavier duty backpack for the $33 this one costs? Absolutely. But the thin, lightweight design of this bag does serve a purpose. It takes up very little storage room yet offers so many storage opportunities. It is very well thought-out, with every part being well utilized. It's a great bag to travel with in case you find yourself going on an unplanned excursion or needing a second carry-on to transport souvenirs and gifts home from a trip. (Or perhaps you are taking the gifts and don't want a bulky empty bag to have to travel back home with.) If these were not so expensive, I'd love to buy a whole case of them to make care kits for the homeless in my area since it is so versatile, offers such good organization, and packs down so small and light when empty. Very practical.5 stars = exceeds expectations4 stars = meets expectations3 stars = disappointed but will use2 stars = horrible, grossly misrepresented1 star = unredeemable trash

Love this portable little bag. Can hold a lot of gear but also can be squished down small.

This backpack has a small design that allows for easy packing but opens up to be a small backpack that is of a useful size and is perfect for a daypack or hiking since it is lightweight. The material is breathable and thin and made of a material that is strong and avoids tears an rips. There are plenty of pockets and zippered areas to use while in use. The backpack is comfortable when wearing. Best of all it folds into itself to prevent loss of an extra bag.

I love this portable backpack! I have used similar ones before:* It's not an everyday backpack, but is great for travel when you need something to pull out for little day trips* It folds down and stuffs into a special pocket that isn't too big* folding it up and taking it out is pretty easyI think this one stands out compared to a few that I've owned before because it has more useful pockets. These portable packs tend to be a bit minimal, and this one adds a few extra options for organizing your stuff and that makes it nicer to use. It's not any bulkier than others I've used, so it seems like a win overall.The quality also seems pretty good. Keep in mind these aren't meant for heavy daily use, and making them super light and small means thin materials, but it feels pretty sturdy overall and I think will last a while.I'm a fan!

lovee this! it came in this little pouch that when you unwrap the full bag it turns into it’s own functional pocket!!! super comfortable, organization is great with 3 separate compartments like standard backpacks. durability is awesome too you can tell it’s for those on the go.

This is a great light weight pack able day pack for hikes and day trips. It packs inside of itself for taking in a hiking bag. It can be clipped on the hiking bag and is very light weight yet super durable. I’m really loving that the straps are mesh and cool while wearing. Plenty of pockets, places to clip and stash stuff one might need while exploring. This bag can hold about two towels, spf, two cell phones, a water bottle or two, keys, seashells, wallet, etc. Like I said, the perfect day pack so you don’t have to carry a huge bag on excursions. The necessities and then some for sure. The price point is great. All around great product. We will for sure purchase and highly recommend this to fellow hikers and anybody who needs an organized bag that’s light weight and can be stored away neatly for conserving space when not in use.

I ordered this mainly to keep in my van for emergencies or those unplanned "well, I guess I'm doing this now" day hikes, and it fits that role really well. It folds down very small and packs into its own pocket, so it's completely self-contained and easy to stash. There's even a little carry handle once it's folded, which is a nice touch.The shoulder straps don't have much in the way of padding, but this is a small, lightweight backpack. It's clearly designed for carrying light loads, so for that purpose the straps are perfectly fine. You won't be loading it up with heavy gear.I like the pocket layout. There are several pockets on the main bag, including a water bottle pocket and a key leash, plus small pockets on the shoulder straps that are handy for things like a phone, keys, or cards. Everything feels easy to access and sensibly placed.Overall, it seems decently made, does exactly what it claims, and the price is reasonable. It's a good option if you want a compact pack you can keep on hand without taking up much space.

This will definitely be my new go-to bag. It’s incredibly lightweight and easy to fold up, making it perfect to keep in a purse or glove box so you always have an extra bag on hand. It has plenty of pockets, including space for water bottles, a wallet, keys and a phone, which makes staying organized easy. It seems roomy enough to hold everything you’d need for a beach day or a quick overnight trip. Despite being so lightweight, it feels durable and well made. Overall, it’s a great little all-around bag perfect for any kind of adventure.

This Waterfly backpack is awesome!! It’s lightweight, comfortable, and good quality. Plus, there’s lots of different pockets to keep things organized. I do wish that the front pockets were a bit larger to fit my oversized phone case, but that is a minor detail I can overlook. I think the backpack is the perfect size… it’s smaller than a regular backpack, but large enough to fit a lot of items. I ordered this for myself but now my child wants to confiscate it haha :D This backpack is perfect for hiking, festivals, or even just a day at the park. We will surely get a lot of use out of it! I like how it can fold up into a little pouch. It’s a tight fit which is great for saving space, but I will probably just leave it open. The fabric is thin but seems very durable. I’m not sure if I would pay full price for this backpack, but I think the sale price is decent. Overall it’s a great backpack!

I like this bag but I haven’t decided what I’ll use it for yet. Seems strong/sturdy and seems it will travel well. Looks like it’ll store a change of clothes. Not as big as a school bag.
