4Monster Hiking Daypack,Water Resistant Lightweight Packable Backpack for Travel Camping Outdoor

Extremely impressed. Just got back from another (probably the 5th) moment of "let's go on a hike, oh shoot I don't have any backpack, oh wait - I have that mini one in my car bag!"It's strong, SO LIGHT, very very well set up - pull and zippers and pockets all in a good place. The zippers are great. I used it in the rain again, it gets wet eventually, but sheds water well and my Bible on the outside pocket was perfectly dry. You CAN STUFF this thing, it holds a lot! I have the large and medium I beleive, both are perfect. I have never run out of room. I've run demos for the wife showing how much I can keep putting in there!It's very comfortable for having no comfort features. Unbelievably light.I HAVE fried other mini backpacks. They were also impressive, 2 other ones (sorry, I don't remember them now - but that means I've tried this for over a year on multiple occasions) - but bulkier by far. This is JUST RIGHT. It is one of my possessions I LOVE. totally worth it if you can swing it. I didn't buy it for 2 months because of the higher price, but in the end it has brought me only delight. No tears, wearing out, stretching, no marking of the sipper rubber, the pulls are still perfect. And it packs up so tiny. People don't belive it. I can put two full sized Nalgene bottles on the sides, lots of snacks, way more knives than you're thinking of, books, and clothes in there. It just keeps stuffing. And I don't feel sore or fatigued in a way I'd expect - it sits right on my shoulders and distributes nicely. What can you expect from a bag that weighs less than a padded shoulder strap? We'll you get it and more. We'll done guys. Really nailed it, didn't cut corners, doesn't feel cheap in anyway. Very impressed. Holds a lot of weight.I don't love how easily things poke through to my back, but put a peice of cloth in there and it's fine. Very very thin material.

The size is fine for spring, summer, or fall hiking. The material is light, but durable enough for a brief transatlantic trip. The backpack was able to hold my water bottles without a fuss, maps, or jackets. The backpack can be put back into the storage bag with ease for flights.

My partner and I took these backpacks on a 3 week cycling trip in Europe. They worked great on the plane and during our non-cycling activities. They folded up so small, they took up almost no space in our panniers. The two water bottle holders were a big plus. Highly recommend!

Bought this for a Caribbean Cruise. Looks exactly has shown, fun for tropical location. Straps are definitely cooler/lighter than my 20l Eddie Bauer Stowaway from 10+ years ago. I bought this for fun pattern and possibility of cooler straps. It can hold quite a bit. I fit my winter puffy jacket in it, with my iPad, charging cords, large water bottle when traveling back home.The two main issues I have with it and why I may not use on next trip are 1) The zippers don't unzip as far down the sides of the back. It was harder to access stuff than I was used to, especially if you are trying to reach while in a tight space, like a bus or plane seat. 2) The zippers held up, which I'm grateful for, but they are clearly of much cheaper quality than zippers on all my other light weight packs. I felt I had to be more careful zipping/unzipping the back so as not to catch the fabric.I think it's a fair price for what it is, I really did enjoy the tropical pattern and the super light weight material for hot temps.

I saw a friend with this brand of backpack. I was looking for a smaller packable backpack to use for traveling. I haven't used it yet but like that it's small and lightweight, perfect since we travel light but like a separate backpack for when we are out and about. I was excited to find it.

Well, I must say, this dashing little number from 4Monster is quite the triumph! One moment you’re wrestling with your worldly goods, and the next — abracadabra — you’ve a full-sized backpack springing forth from something no larger than a crumpet. Truly, it folds down smaller than my aunt Edna’s handbag chihuahua.The material is splendidly water-resistant — I tested it in a most English drizzle, and not a drop breached its noble defences. The zippers glide like a Rolls-Royce, and the stitching is sturdier than the vicar’s gin supply. Ideal for hiking, day-tripping, or making a grand statement at the local Waitrose.All in all, if one wishes to feel simultaneously practical and prepared for spontaneous adventure (or simply to look terribly clever whilst doing so), this bag is a veritable must.Bravo, 4Monster! You’ve outdone yourselves, you cheeky geniuses.

Seems well made. Arrived fast. Haven't tried it out yet other than stuffing it full of Terry cloth -does hold more than it looks like - stretches
