Lightweight Travel Backpack for Hiking: Outlander Packable Daypack for On-the-Go Adventures

Sally: Wonderful! Lightweight, waterproof, holds a lot! I used all over Scotland. Only fault is the shoulder straps aren’t padded!

Brian Charles: Did a 2 week trip to London and pack was perfect. Fits what we needed, no issues packing in overheads and airport had no issues with size. It’s easily turns into a sling bag by tucking other shoulder strap into side pocket. My new fav travel piece.

Tom N.: Plenty of compartments and I like the small internal pocket. Would be nice to have an external D ring or two. I've used it on one trip abroad, where it worked well as a 2nd carry-on and hands-free daytripping pack for this ultralight traveler. I do question its durability but for now all-good.

Bart Fingerfelter: 20L Orange. Pros: I like this pack. It's almost weightless and has a few pockets but not too many so that things don't get forgotten in some hidden pocket. It's just the right size for a quick hike or just browsing through an outdoor market on a Saturday. It comes with its own carrying bag that doubles as an extra pocket with a loop inside for keys, etc. It's made of nylon so if it gets dirty you can just toss it in the wash. Simple, no muss, no fuss. Cons: The netting on the sides are good for 16 oz bottles but not larger ones which is okay because it's a simple little day pack. Overall: Recommended for its intended use!

TheJerBear: I purchased for a mission trip to Africa. I needed a packable daypack for use after arrival and this fit the bill. I travel with a Cotopaxi Allpa 35L as my primary bag and variously packed this into the rainfly pocket or clipped it to the outside of the bag using the included carabiner.

Once unpacked, the Outlander has a surprising amount of organization for such a basic bag. I kept books and other large items in the main compartment which has an interior divider, snacks in the middle compartment, and frequently used items such as sunscreen, hand sanitizer, etc. in the outermost pocket. Inside the main compartment, there is also a hanging pouch which the bag packs into. I used this to separate out small items like pens and valuables that I didn't want sitting in the exterior pocket.

This thing has two, count them, TWO exterior water bottle pockets! This was AMAZING in Africa. Also great during a long layover when I wanted to carry both hot and cold drinks.

In summary, this is a lot of bag for less than $20. I bought it as a packable travel bag but it has since become my EDC bag. I highly recommend.

MikeInMI: I have plenty of backpacks, but I wanted something easily packable that could use as a day pack. I'm going on a cruise in a few months and some of our excursions are 9 hours. I thought this would be helpful.

It folds down into a very small pouch, and it is very lightweight. Two things that were important to me. It has three different zippered compartments plus a divider in the main compartment (nice size for an iPad). Surprisingly, I could fold it back down into its self-contained pouch when I was done using it, which was nice (they provide a little card that shows you how to do that).

The capacity was very good as something I could put in my suitcase for traveling without taking up much weight or space, yet open it up into a quite nice size for holding all of my belongings for a day. The shoulder straps are quite thin (wide enough, just not very thick), making me worry about comfortably carrying it around too much, but the straps are adequate given I'm not wearing it for six or eight hours at a time, nor am I making this very heavy.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with this purchase.

Gerardo Arévalo: 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!

Marco G.: Malgré la petite faiblesse du zip principal après des années d’utilisation, ça fait deux ans que mon ancien identique montrait des signes d’usure à la fermeture, je le chargeais beaucoup quand même, ils sont très robustes, c’est un bon achat, faut dire que je le ménage pas, j’ai racheté la même chose parce qu’il m’a donné un bonne satisfaction.

Kato: I don't have a car, so keep a foldable bag in my purse for when I do grocery shopping and what not. I like carrying heavy things on my back, so thought a foldable backpack might be a better option than the usual reusable shopping bags, so after much research, purchased the Outlander in the large size black.

Right after I received it (which was extremely quick after ordering), I received an email from the makers asking if it arrived without defects, which was a very nice touch. I checked the bag, and it was perfect, zippers worked and everything was sewn together properly. It came with a tag that had instructions for how to fold the bag back into its "pouch" (attached to the inside largest section of the bag).

I was skeptical that this bag would suit my needs, as I saw most other reviewers were using it for traveling, and not really putting heavy objects in it. So I put off writing a review until I had to make some heavy purchases...and this is what the outlander was able to hold, with NO signs of wear:
- 3.73 litre bottle of Nature clean laundry detergent
- 1 litre bottle of oxygen bleach
- 27 fl. oz travel mug, full (inside the 2nd largest pocket)
-...
