Review on πŸŽ’ ZOMAKE Lightweight Packable Backpack for Durable Outdoor Use by Richard Muncy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Smart compact backpack

I bought this backpack after my friends couldn't recommend it enough. They used it daily for 5 weeks while touring Europe to carry water bottles, light jackets and daily groceries and they loved it. I haven't had a chance to use it yet as I only received it 2 days ago but based on your rave reviews and my own close inspection of the backpack I think it makes sense to give it 5 stars at this point. I will add this once we use it on our own 3 week trip to Italy to confirm or downgrade 5 stars. I thought it would be difficult to unfold or that the backpack would be warped and wobbly afterwards, but that was perfectly normal. I also thought it would be difficult to bring it back to a small compact size, but it was also very easy. I'll add one caveat and this isn't necessarily a good or bad thing just to make sure it's the right backpack for the right consumer. This is a very light backpack and should be comfortable to carry around urban areas and small villages. I can't say for sure, but I probably wouldn't trust him on an Andean trek full of camping gear. I could be wrong and it could work, but personally I would go for something stronger. That being said, it's not cheaply made and I believe it's designed for the traveler who wants something that doesn't take up a lot of room in their suitcase for easy use and it definitely fits that need. To illustrate: Sometimes I wear flats, sometimes trainers, sometimes hiking shoes, as needed, and something like that with this backpack. The backpack comes with an 8% coupon for my next purchase and the next day I received a very professional and welcome email from the manufacturer ensuring I was happy with the purchase which was a welcome change from most transactions.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
