Franklin Sports Lightweight Packable Backpack: Your Perfect Travel Companion for Ultimate Convenience Review

Benefits: Includes padded shoulder straps. The pocket it folds into becomes the outer pocket of the backpack. Has two water bottle pockets, both deep enough for a large water bottle. .Cons: Very small. See the scale photo with the soda can). My wallet barely fits in here. You don't need cross straps as the backpack is too small to load that heavily. Has a strange smell when first opened. Disappears after a few days.

This set looks very well made. It is made of a very light material. It comes in a 6 inch square zipped bag with a handle. The backpack unfolds and the bag converts into an external backpack pocket. It's a great concept, but it was too minimal for me. There's no room for everything, and if you stuff it all the way in, it bulges out. This is for little people who need to carry around little things. I'm wearing an XL shirt and the chest strap between the shoulder straps almost cuts into my neck…

This backpack/daypack easily folds back into a small square when empty. It's easy to put in a large suitcase when traveling, which is what I use it for. The fabric material is flimsy, the straps/clips/zips are basic but functional, and the details aren't designed for durability or longevity. And you can't stuff it with a lot of stuff or it will look lumpy/bulky. Not very nice. But I really like this bag when I just need to carry a few basic things with me throughout the day. It is suitable for…

This is a small, compact backpack ideal for travelling. This lightweight material features a nice reflective band on the front and shoulder straps for better visibility and safety. It has a whistle built into one of the buckles on the chest, but it didn't work for me - I just blew air. Still, I think this is a great little travel backpack. It's so light and compact that it doesn't take up too much space and is great for short, easy hikes. The backpack is smaller to fit the essentials: a rolled…

This foldable backpack (let's say 3x faster!) is a really useful item to keep on hand. When I saw it I thought it would be perfect for the trip I had planned for the summer. The small front pocket, turned inside out, serves as a pocket in which you can stow your bag. As you can see from the attached video, you don't have to be perfectly clean to fold it back, which is a nice touch. And I love that it's not really a bag that's separate from the backpack itself. It seems to be made out of ripstop

This should not be sold as an adult pack but is the perfect size for a child. My 6 year old daughter and I took this on a 2 week trip to Japan and it has worked very well for us in many ways. As we left the hotel for the day, we loaded it up with our tablet and camera, snacks, drinks, hats, tissues, sunscreen, and other essentials. I carried a fanny pack with similar items all the time, and my daughter and I took turns carrying these. She wore it properly with two straps, but I've just slung…

**Updated 4/19/2019** A serious problem arose after only a few months of use. Layers of material began to flake off from the inside. Looks bad and the stripes keep coming off. Ugh.——————————— This daypack is well made and has several features that I didn't expect in the foldable daypack segment. As a cyclist I'm very happy that this backpack has a reflective fabric band that makes it highly visible at night. There are two pieces on the back of the backpack and two small pieces on one of the…

This bag is awesome! They also usually fit me better than heavier bags. I love her. Folding cases are not designed to protect your laptop or recover from a 30 foot fall or anything. They're designed for ultra-lightweight, ultra-compact storage that you can always carry with you when you need it, or take it on a plane when nothing else fits. You won't like any of these bags if you expect them to be a completely different type of backpack than they're supposed to be. Like I said, I have a few of…
