Awesome little bag for travel. Bought several variations of this brand and have been pleased.

I bought this bag a few months ago and wanted to give it a good trail. So far it’s been super durable. Pockets are nice.

I ordered this on 9/18/25 for a trip that I am taking. The item has not arrived and I am leaving today 9/30/25. The website is not user friendly for returns, so I had to send an email.

Lightweight and portable . Not too durable good for easy light carries

Very good deal for the price, quality product.

Great weight and travelability. Love this bag!

Perfect for taking on a trip where you need a lightweight backpack, so you are hands free. You can fit a jacket, umbrella, and several other items and the pack is comfortable.

Great

This is my second Waterfly bag, and I bought it because I loved the first one, a small travel shoulder bag that has become an everyday staple.The same ingenious design went into this folding backpack. Unlike similar bags with a separate container pouch, the Waterfly pouch (about 3" x 5") is part of the bag itself, and turns into a double-zippered back pocket. The main compartment also has the same heavy-duty double zippers.A great little bag to throw in your carry-on!

I have not yet used the item long term and cannot vouch for how long-lasting and durable the material is or how much the straps stand up to constant use (etc etc) but this small backpack is overall better than a drawstring bag at least in my opinion. The straps are thicker and also they are designed to have ventilation for when you are out and carrying this pack on your shoulders on a hot day. The bag can fold in its own carry pouch and it is good that the pouch is designed to be on the body of the bag so that it cannot become separated from the bag like a carry pouch that is not attached to the bag.The material has a robust feel. The zippers are of basically good quality and there are two two-way zippers on the main compartment. This is always a plus.The small carry pouch folds into the pack and zippers-up so that you can also use it as a smaller compartment to put in keys or maybe even a cell phone of a certain size. It is also good that the small carry pouch is at the upper part of the backpack. This makes for better ergonomics and distribution of weight. If the carry pouch were on a lower part of the backpack it could create a "pendulum" type of motion as you move and carry the pack with the bottom of the pack being particularly heavy.Of course to reach the smaller compartment you would have to take off the backpack off from your shoulders to reach for your keys or wallet, and anything you have in the smaller compartment could be uncomfortable touching your back as you wear the pack. If the smaller compartment were on the front of the pack you may also have to do this but overall it would be better if the small pouch were designed to be on the front of the bag than just at the back of the bag (the part that touches your back as you wear the pack).But this seems to be a nice pack to have around in case you just need to bring a few things with you. It could be good for minimalist travel if you don't need to bring a lot of things; maybe some basic toiletries such as toothbrush, floss and comb, some underwear, and socks, an extra pair of lightweight pants or shorts and a T-shirt and your phone and charger and probably a small laptop and charger. If you pack the right way you can fit quite a bit.I will update according to my findings
