Review on Women's and Kids' 25L Lightweight Rucksack by Jerry Mangum

My husband was looking for a daypack. I bought him 6 backpacks to compare. The Hiking Cycling Backpack, Sunhiker Sports Outdoor Backpack Bag Running Backpack Camping Waterproof Lightweight Backpack SMALL Daypack 25L M441 (Black), Osprey Packs Momentum 22 (Spring 2016 Model), Carbide Gray, Outlander Packable Handy Lightweight Travel Hiking Backpack Daypack, Gray, 25 L Lightweight Backpack For Men Women Kids Foldable Into Inner Pocket (BLACK) Sunhiker Bike Hiking Backpack Waterproof Travel Backpack M0714 Lightweight SMALL Backpack (Dark Green) and Free Knight 25 L Practical Backpack Packable Small Comfortable Lightweight Travel Backpack - Lifetime Warranty ( new grey). Each package has its pros and cons. He chose to keep the Sunhiker Sports Outdoor Backpack Bag Running Camping Backpack Water Resistant Lightweight SMALL Daypack 25L M441 (Black) because it best suited his needs. We ordered all packages in grey, green or black. We returned the remaining 5 packs. I liked 2 lightweight foldable backpacks - Outlander Packable Handy Lightweight Travel Hiking Daypack, Gray and Free Knight 25L Packable Handy Lightweight Travel Backpack Daypack - Lifetime Warranty (New Grey). I decided to order them for me in pink and purple. All backpacks had mesh pockets for water bottles on each side. We tested them all with a Nalgene bottle and a water bottle. A water bottle easily fits in all backpacks. Some of them were very narrow for Nalgene bottles. All backpacks had a main compartment with one or two pockets on the front of the backpack. The volume of the main compartments varied from 561 to 1386 cubic inches. The 3 packs were lightweight, foldable and stored in their own pocket. Here's my brief on this pack: 1071 cubic inches, 17 inches x 10.5 inches x 6 inches, 6 1/2 inches, mesh pockets, covers about 5 1/2 inch bottles, 3 straps.” Wide. Shoulder straps are difficult to adjust, especially loosen. The straps feel soft and flexible. The backpack has 3 main compartments. The largest zip pocket is on the back. Small zipped pocket in the middle. There is a mesh pocket on the front that closes with a strap and buckle. I didn't like the mesh pocket. Pros: - Light weight - Handle on the top of the pack for an extra carrying option - Side pockets fit a bottle of Nalgene - Medium zippered pocket in the large compartment - this is where the pack is stored when folded - Large pocket inside on the back of the large one compartments - 1 additional loop on the outside of the bottom of the backpack - additional side support straps Disadvantages: - Back is not padded and does not retain its shape. Typical for a folding backpack. Slightly padded at the back. The shoulder straps consist of several layers of mesh but are NOT reinforced with nylon webbing. .I have returned this package. It was a good foldable backpack, but I didn't like the mesh pocket on the front.
