Review on ZOFOW Packable Backpack: Your Ultimate Lightweight Travel Companion by Brad Fleming

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lightweight but not waterproof

This backpack is lightweight but not waterproof. I could carry 10 pounds with 3 liters of water during a day hike. Not sure if the bag is comfortable for a 15lb+ load. The bag sat well on my back and the waist belt worked well for me. The pockets were big enough for my keys, magsafe wallet and iphone 12 mini phone. There are no forklifts for the bag and I used a seat cushion to add structure to my back. The chest strap fits my chest but I couldn't pull it too tight because it would tighten my shoulder straps around my neck. The straps on the bag are very long and there is no way to stop them from swinging back and forth everywhere without tying them. I've also used it to hold my thick yoga mat while doing pilates - it fits great with the bag's zipper. fully. I'm short in stature and short torso. As I said in the title, the bag is not waterproof. A few days before writing this review I was walking through heavy rain. Everything in the main compartment was soaked, but not through. There was some moisture in the back pockets, but nothing got wet. Next time I'll just add a stuff sack and some ziplock bags. I recommend this bag.
