Review on πŸŽ’ Gonex Lightweight Packable Backpack for Effortless Backpacking Adventures by Mariqn Carey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for travel and outperforms more expensive backpacks

I bought this bag because I needed a compact everyday bag and didn't want to pay more than $30 for something that didn't have to be that expensive. It is very comfortable and offers a lot of space. The side pockets are large and are great for water bottles, external batteries, or even the padding of a compact rain jacket. The internal top pocket is great for storing small items that you need to grab but don't feel like digging. The large main compartment holds everything we put in it. The straps are also comfortable. So many times we went to the grocery store and used it to deliver groceries home and the weight never felt uncomfortable. I can't brag enough about this bag. My friend took a gym bag on a trip and it broke. The only packable backpack we could find was the Osprey Ultralight Stuff Pack. It stunk compared to Gonex. The Osprey's water bottle pocket doesn't hold a water bottle at all, so unlike the Gonex, it always falls out when you put it down. The Osprey's straps would slip if you didn't tighten them all the way, which was annoying at times. While the Gonex isn't as compact as the Osprey, we haven't encountered a problem with it. So save your money and buy this bag. Believe me.
