Review on πŸŽ’ Ultimate Outdoor Companion: G4Free Lightweight Packable Waterproof Backpack by Eddie Pollard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice backpack - durable material and excellent performance!

I love this lightweight light blue backpack! This is a beautiful sea wave color. The ripstop fabric feels very durable. I think this backpack is perfect for an average height woman but may not fit a tall man or woman. It's actually not that big. I released a similarly styled 40L G4Free backpack a few years ago and this 35L backpack is about 2.5cm narrower at the bottom. If you can use it as a holdall that's great, but I would find it a bit small for that. Although as a backpack for hiking, it is ideal. Numerous features including multiple pockets and front whistle clip. The plastic-lined zippered compartment is located at the back of the pack and is quite large - almost the entire length of the pack. This backpack is slightly heavier than my previous one (480g vs 314g) and also has more rigidity and rigidity. I would hesitate to put it in a bag for fear that the plastic in the lined bag would degrade over time. I just received it so I haven't tested it but I'm very happy with it so far! My old G4Free backpack is still strong but the fabric wears out over time and it has 2 small tears that I covered with clear nail polish. It doesn't help that I took it to the beach and filled it with rocks and shells. See my photo for a comparison of the 40L backpack and this 35L backpack. As you can see the 35L backpack is significantly larger when folded into the front pocket which becomes a backpack storage bag. The logo is sewn on the 35L instead of printed on it like on the 40L. If you were to look at these two packs side by side like I did, you would most likely agree that the 35L has a much better design. Selling features of 40L are smaller size for folded packs, lighter weight and more capacity. Both have the same comfortable shoulder straps. I personally find the 35L much more attractive and feel more durable.
