Your go-to backpack for all your travel needs...
May 19, 2018
While getting ready for our trip abroad, we decided that it would be a good idea for both of us to have a decent sized backpack to use as our inflight personal item. After searching for different types of backpacks, we came across these ZOMAKE Ultra Lightweight Packable Backpack and decided to give them a try.
We received the two backpacks in small carrying cases, or so we thought, and decided to take one out to see just how big it was. While taking the backpack out of the carrying case, we realized that the backpack appeared to be inside out, but continued to remove it fully before turning it right side out. Once the backpack was fully removed from the carrying case, it then became clear that it wasn't a carrying case, but it was in fact the inner pocket of the main compartment of the backpack. The way that they made the inner pocket the storage and/or carrying case for the backpack is really a great idea and we like it quite a bit.
The backpacks are made from a resilient material, based on the sheer number of items we were able to cram into them, and they are elongated to a more natural feel while wearing them on the back. There's a small pocket located on the outside of the front flap and another one on the inside, which doubles as the storage/carrying case. There are also two net style pockets on both sides that were able to have ~16oz water bottle each. After our trip, we washed both backpacks with our laundry (nothing special from the rest) and they turned out looking like new, which is another plus to these backpacks.
To try to explain how big these backpacks are, and how much they can store, here is a list of items that we were able to put into only one backpack (see image)...
2x deodorant (one 3oz and the other 2.6oz)
1 box - 4 5/8” x 3 1/4” x 1 7/8” (Syncwire 4 Port USB Travel Wall Charger)
Amazon 5ft USB to Micro-USB Cable (works with most Micro-USB Tablets)
hair brush
XL men's sweater
3x travel toothbrush holders
floss
6oz toothpaste
Dreamtown Kids Toddler Pillow With Pillowcase 14x19 White
Chuggington: Chugger of the Year
Thomas and Friends: My Red Railway Book Box (Bright & Early Board Books)
XL men's t-shirt
XL women's t-shirt
XL men's boxer shorts
women's underwear
4T shorts
XL women's tank top
4T t-shirt
men's dress socks
women's ankle socks
children's socks
These ZOMAKE lightweight backpacks are a great thing to have when traveling, as they have a good-sized capacity and the ability to store it inside of itself is awesome. We would highly recommend these as a backpack to anyone in the market for one, whether for your travel or every day need(s).

Good design, bad construction
May 21, 2018
I bought this backpack to serve as a light day bag while my husband and I spent a few weeks touring Europe. It worked very well for its purpose, but the quality of construction is not very good. The stitching on the front pocket came undone almost immediately, so we couldn't store anything in it without it slipping through into the main part of the bag. That got to be frustrating when we'd lose things like tickets and change to the abyss within! Other than that shoddy seam, the bag was a perfect size/weight and design for what we used it for. Hopefully our bag was a fluke and others are sturdier!

I bought this item to use as a day/town/ shopping pack , instead of my usual regular backpack, while traveling..The few issues don't outweigh the benefits.
Pros:
- The fabric feels strong and the stitching seems good.
- Light weight and very practical.
- It's lightweight and so portable,perfect for taking in the little pouch for packing in a suitcase.
- It doesn't look big but it holds a lot of stuff.It able to hold my purse, a few small items, my jacket, and a notebook.
- The shoulder straps extremely comfortable.Did not even realize I had one on my back!
Cons:
- Rainproof but just for Light Rain. You can put your money and ID in the Ziploc bag.
Overall, I liked the light weight backpack.

I was looking for a small daypack for an upcoming trip to India and Italy when I stumbled upon this one. It is everything I could want and more! It arrived in its small compact size and unfolded very easily into the full sized backpack. I was sort of shocked and almost thought I ordered the wrong item when it looked like a tiny satchel of some sort. The pack is decently sized and can fit quite a lot in it. The material seems sturdy and I can't wait to put it to use soon! The bag easily stuffs backs inside the compact packet making it ideal for traveling or camping when space is tight. Great buy!
I will try and update this review post trip, stay tuned!

This bag is EVERYTHING. I bought this bag thinking that I might use it here and there throughout my trip but I ended up using it everyday! It is made out of sturdy material - NO tears, rips, or broken zippers during my entire three week trip. All the pockets were used - water bottle holders on both sides, pocket on the outside, then a small pocket on the inside, and the main portion. I would buy this backpack in more colors and buy it for gifts in the future because everyone can put this bag to use. GREAT BUY! One of the most useful backpacks I have ever owned when it comes to a small compact backpack.

Great lightweight backpack that survived my one-week diving trip. I packed it in my checked luggage (had a separate backpack to hold my laptop etc), and used it to hold snorkels and other essentials (a lightweight fast-dry towel, wallet and a T-shirt). The side pockets can hold two bottles of water (600 ml each) without a problem. The bright color made it very dirt-resistant (also took it to a dusty hike to a volcano, and the color appeared as bright and clean as if new after the hike).

I am a field researcher and am frequently out in the elements wading through water and needed a lightweight bag to carry my gear and handle the mud, sand, water, and slime I would throw at it. This bag has not disappointed! At $16 it is extremely affordable, and I don't feel guilty beating it up and using it daily.
The mesh pockets on the side are tight, so they keep a good hold on my water bottle. The zip pocket on the front is nice and deep and holds my smaller notebook, a knife, and miscellaneous tools. the main pocket is roomy enough to hold a clipboard, papers, a notebook, a first aid kit, my jacket, and other items. The little pouch that the bag folds into hangs from the top and although it is inside out when the bag is in use, it has a double zipper so I am able to use it for my phone. As an added bonus the loop is super useful for clipping my keys on it so I won't lose track of them.
Despite being so lightweight the straps are extremely sturdy and padded for extra comfort. I have hiked for hours with this bag full to brim with tools and haven't felt any strain on my back. they adjust easily, and are extremely comfortable.
Is it waterproof? Well, I would say it is definitely water resistant. It sat at the bottom of a boat and while all my co-workers field bags got soaked through from the bottom my items were only a tad damp. I still keep my phone in a waterproof case just to be safe.
But seriously, I have bragged to everyone about this wonderful bag. I just bought one for my boyfriend to use for day trips while backpacking in Europe. I have told my co-workers to get one. You should too!

I loved EVERYTHING about this backpack!👍 I wanted a compact lightweight backpack to store in trunk and have for road trips. I used it today to carry water bottles, cell phone and portable charger and as we hiked I couldn't even tell it was on my back. Really light, small but very spacious. I loved the adjustable shoulder straps...not excessively padded and bulky but somehow really comfortable. During hikes I collected rocks. Once in the shopping district I added some souvenirs/keepsakes. When I got home there was orange colored dirt marks all over the inside from the rocks. This OCD girl freaked out thinking it was permanently dirty and discolored. Nope! A damp cloth cleaned and restored it back to original condition. Finally, I love that it came in purple, my favorite color. I may be purchasing a few more as gifts. Go get yourself one!

I travel to the beach and on cruises a LOT. This thing has been the perfect addition to my travel needs. It folds up nice and light and compact. Unflolded, it's the perfect size for my towels, sunscreens, and water bottle as well as a few other random things that seem to make their way in. Sand is often a problem after beaching, but with this, I just flip it inside out and voila! No more sand. Also, easy to throw in the washing machine once I get home. Def would recommend!

Went on 10 day trip to the National Parks and monuments in Utah. The backpack worked great. Took it everywhere. It held rain jackets, water bottles and stuff. It even rained on us and the pack held up beautifully.

Use for a two week trip to U.K. Worked perfect. When we flew, we packed it and it took up no space. Unzipped it and used it for hiking - our items stayed wet during hiking trips - and as our everyday bag - around town, on walks, out to dinner, shopping - during our vacation. Fit comfortably for both myself and husband. Held up and wasstylish. Would completely buy again.

A great lightweight backpack for the price. I bike to work everyday and this neon-green backpack matches my biking jacket perfectly. I have also rode home in the rain and put newspaper in the bag to test it, I got home after biking two miles in the rain and the paper was perfectly dry! I have also used this bag for hauling my audio/video equipment around in. I could fit my DVD player, Bluetooth speaker, and portable projector in the bag without issue. It makes it really handy at a potluck to know where your important bag is and to not forget it. It's definitely not "puffy" like it looks in the product image (it's more firm), but it does fold down to a nice small size when not in use. I definitely recommend this bag.
