Nicely sewn, nicely seam-taped, nice size, and sold at nice price... overall, a very nice ultralight backpack. Purchased as a "just in case" bag to keep on the motorcycle to occasionally carry groceries, etc. Pleased. The criticism I've seen of this style of bag is that the shoulder straps are too narrow. Wide padded shoulder straps would increase the weight, bulk and cost, and it would no longer be the excellent super-compact minimalist waterproof motorcycle packable backpack for me.
Perfect backpack to place inside a carry on bag to carry things upon arrival at my destination. Comfortably holds a beach towel and two water bottles.
I really like this product. Seems study and folds up nicely. Good, adjustable straps. I'm using it to carry in my purse as an everyday bag (like for groceries and everything). That way, I have it and can pull it out if I go shopping, get leftovers to carry, or anything. I'm also taking it traveling and think it's going to be one of my favorite things. I haven't tried using it as a dry bag to do laundry in yet, but I plan to. I think it's well-worth the price.
I purchased two of these for kicking around. They are waterproof and light. One of them instantly became my go to Bear Bag for light trail food. It works well, with a Paracord and a found rock. Hefty bags don't hold up to abrasion on a windy night. This dry bag is for light use.
