HIKPRO 20L - The Most Durable Lightweight Packable Backpack, Water Resistant Travel Hiking Daypack for Men & Women

I ordered this daypack for a month-long trip we were taking to Australia and New Zealand. I didn't know exactly what I needed because I have never taken such a trip before, but I knew I was limited to weight and size. It is hard to pack for a trip that includes all kinds of activities from climbing glaciers to hiking in tropical rain forests, going out to dinner and seeing friends after 30 years apart. I wasn't looking for a carry-on -- already had my limit there, but was pretty sure a day pack would come in handy. So all I knew in advance was that it needed to pack up small and be lightweight. The reviews didn't really tell me if this was the right pack for me, so I ordered it and the Outlander ! Outlander Packable Handy Lightweight Travel Backpack Daypack, Red  from a different Amazon seller to compare. They were similar and both well made, but the material of this one seems a little sturdier -- it's thicker and I just liked it more. So I gave my husband the Outlander and kept the Hikpro for myself (LOL). This little pack turned out to be FANTASTIC! I used it almost every day of the trip. Sometimes it held just my purse and my camera -- I use a big Canon SLR so it weighs four or more pounds, but other times it held that plus a coat and a change of clothes and a pair of running shoes or reef shoes. Sometimes it held several days worth of groceries. Others it held take-out. Toward the end of the trip it held lots of souvenirs to take home to those who didn't get to come. I used it biking and hiking and on trains and gondolas. It went to the beach and up mountains. It endured rain and wind and snow and cold. Oh, and sweat. I washed it twice in the washing machine, but didn't put it in the dryer. It came out perfectly and dried overnight. You can easily adjust the straps while you are wearing it, so no matter what the load, you can make it comfortable -- just be sure to pack the flat stuff next to your back. The straps are thicker and more padded than those of the Outlander, which mattered to me, but my husband didn't mind the Outlander's straps However, I noticed he didn't use the Outlander nearly as often as I used the Hikpro. The outside pockets held my water bottle and often an umbrella. Every couple of days the pack got mushed back into its little pocket and thrown back in my suitcase as we went to another place. It just takes a minute to do that. This was one of those times when I didn't know what I wanted, but got exactly what I needed. Thank you!

See how easy it is to "re-pack" his nice size day pack. Perfect size for those that like to travel light and need a pack to tool around with during the day.Update traveled to 5 countries overseas and this little pack was perfect! Easily carries two water bottles in outside pockets, and camera, rain gear, jacket, snacks. I'm 5'3" and my DH is 6'5" and we both found this daypack to work while hiking, kayaking and bicycling. We packed it in the morning and could carry a days worth of gear. These are comfortable and did protect the contents in the light rain, but not entirely water proof. When we packed to come home we simply folded up the bag and stuck it in our carry on! So glad we have two of these!

Great backpack. I was a little worried that it would be too small based on the video and pictures posted so I took some pictures myself. I'm very happy with the backpack, especially when you consider that it only costs $20. Material is light and flexible, but strong. I LOVE the deepness of the mesh pockets on the sides. So many other backpacks have pockets that are too shallow and don't hold. The mesh pockets also look to be pretty strong.

Hikpro 20L - The Most Durable Lightweight Packable Backpack, Water Resistant Travel Hiking Daypack For Men & Women Color: "Army Green 3.0"I didn't want another student Jans---t backpack; I wanted something lighter weight and a bit more sophisticated. While walking, I noticed someone wearing this Hikpro in black and took a photo of it on my smartphone, so I'd remember the brand. I bought the 'army green' version and LOVE the color. It is really a spruce green as shown in the photo, more than an army green, and it is so attractive. The shoulder straps are a tiny bit padded, just enough not to fold and bend, and very comfortable. The Hikpro is very lightweight, but roomy. I love the inside and outside zippered pockets. I like the 2 mesh water pockets, though my water bottle slips out of it; I don't know how these could be improved, perhaps an inch deeper? The zippers are great and everything looks good quality.WASHING:I was concerned about the questions/answers I read about not washing in washing machine, since it is a backpack, after all, meant to be used and gotten dirty. The company was very communicative to my email about washing and wrote me this reply to my question about cleaning it in washing machine:"Thanks for choosing us. We are here to assistent you until you are fully satisfied.• Hikpro backpack sure can be hand washed and drip dried.• And I think hikpro version 3.0 also could be machine washed in a laundry bag because we have improved the fabric to be much more durable.• But if there any damages to hikpro daypack, I will send you a new one. You can have a try.• Because hikpro backpack is water resistant, there a waterproof lining on fabric, too intense friction will cause the lining easily to fall off. I hope you will satisfied with my answer. Best wishes.Summary: This version (3.0) can be machine washed it in a mesh laundry

I just recently returned from a trip to Switzerland and bought this before I left to use as a supplemental pack for touring and day hikes etc. This was the PERFECT pack! It is lightweight, easy to take along and holds more than enough for it's intended use, including an extra sweater, tour guidebook, a hat, souvenirs and even a light lunch, with plenty of room to spare. I also holds two medium size water bottles in the side pockets and they don't slip out!It handily folds into it's own interior pocket and shrinks down to about the size of a sandwich. It also has an interior and exterior pocket, which is nice to separate small items in their own areas. Very easy to take along in a suitcase without taking up a lot of room. It is sturdy and well made. I love this pack and am now using it at home for day hikes. One great quality product at a very reasonable price.

Handy little backpack especially for travelling.

This bag is perfect, great quality has lasted me over a year now and have used regularly for city breaks or daytrips.

Great day pack for light travel

The backpack is light, appears to be well-made and claims to be water-resistant, which has yet to be proven. It neatly folds up into itself, in a few simple steps, making it easy to pop it in a suitcase or carry-on which why I purchased it.

La mochila está genial, compré color negro y me mandaron morada. La bolsa en sí está muy buena, se las recomiendo

Me enviaron el color que quisieron, una combinación verde con amarillo bastante fea. Yo elegí color NEGRO. Al día siguiente de recibirla, la regresé, espero que me regresen mi dinero rápidamente.

Serves the purpose. Light weight, easy to store

Mein Einkaufsbeutel, hab ihn in meiner Handtasche immer dabei. Gute Qualität, leicht und stabil. Ein bisschen Regen kann er auch ab.
