Review on πŸŽ’ Gonex Ultralight Handy Travel Backpack: The Perfect Packable Daypack 20L by Ryan Lawson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good size for personal belongings on the plane

I bought this to take on a plane as a personal item and then use it on a hike to my destination. This is a good size for air travel. If you don't overdo it, it fits perfectly under the front seat. The only problem I had was when I was in the middle seat on an Icelandair plane. There was something under all the middle seats that made the storage space smaller so it ALMOST fit but kind of got stuck in my legroom. It was also great for hiking - the straps were soft enough to be comfortable and it was lightweight. enough that it doesn't feel like it's bringing me down. I carried a water bottle, protein bars, portable charger, etc. and sometimes forgot it was behind me. It rained the whole time I camped and the backpack isn't waterproof (but I didn't expect it to be waterproof) so I put my electronics in zipped pockets. On the way back I emptied and folded my backpack. it's in my suitcase. I wasn't paying attention to how I SHOULD fold it so I opened it up and it wasn't pretty but it still folded nice and compact. All in all it worked very well.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • The list goes on.
