IGOLUMON Hiking Backpack 40L Packable Lightweight Camping Backpack Men Women Waterproof Hiking Daypack Outdoor Travel Daypack

Perfect for my son’s wrestling equipment! There’s plenty of space for everything, and the separate shoe compartment is a great feature. It’s durable, well made, and much more affordable than many comparable bags.

Very light weight and holds a lot. It’s now my favorite backpack for travel. Some reviews noted the zippers not working well - no problems so far. Great product at a good price.

Ok, this review is going to be a bit long, but it's from an actual hiker, and it's going to be useful information. First, let's address the elephant in the room. This pack is NOT a 40 liter pack. Based upon my measurements and some estimation, in actuality it's at best a 32 liter pack, with 28 of those liters being the main compartment and 4 liters being the side mesh pouches. To come up with these volumes, I put a waterproof bag in the main compartment and added water, liter by liter, until it was full. When I got to 25 liters, I couldn't add anymore without spilling the water or knocking the pack over, but in my estimation I could've put another 2 liters in, but we'll call it 3 liters, a little room for margin of error. The side pouches I estimate to be between 1.5 and 2 liters each, based upon how much of the water bottles were below the top of the mesh, and estimating extra space that the bottles didn't use. So 32 liters isn't close to 40, so where are the other 8 liters? I believe that the manufacturer counted the interior pouch and exterior pouches as additional volume. In my opinion, this is disingenuous because those pouches displace volume from the main compartment, they don't add to it. Meaning if you fill these pouches, you have that much less room in the main compartment. For this reason, I gave the pack 4 stars instead of 5. As for the weight of the pack, it's 537 grams/18.94 ounces, measured empty with tags removed. If you're looking for a lightweight backpack for very light/ultralight hiking or backpacking, this pack is great bang for the buck, as long as you take the correct size into account. If you're total pack weight is 20 lbs or less, you're going to be very happy. But if you want to stuff 30-40 lbs into this pack, then you will be disappointed. If you're carrying that much weight, opt for a different pack that's more robust, one that has some structure/support, and a hip belt. Yes, you make sacrifices for this pack to be lighter, but that's the tradeoff. I took the pack out today on a test hike, a 7 mile/3 hour hike/ruck with 2300' of elevation gain, with 18 lbs packed into it, to test it out. The stitching and seams showed absolutely no signs of stress, and the shoulder straps were rather comfortable at that weight. In fact, I didn't even notice them, which is what you want. The zippers seemed to be a quality, mid duty metal. They weren't cheap small plastic junk. I had no issues with them at all, they seemed like the perfect zippers for the task. I also strapped my ccf sleeping pad to the bottom, and the pack's straps held it perfectly. The pad didn't move, and the straps didn't loosen at all. The main compartment is fine, and the interior zippered pocket is sizeable, but it has no keys holder clip, if that matters to you. The issue is that the interior pocket is on the wrong side, it's up against your back and not on the outside wall of the pack. Anything you put in there will be sticking into your back, so pointed/sharp items like electronics could be uncomfortable. The side pouches are very spacious. They hold 1 liter plastic Nalgene bottles, 1 liter and 1.5 liter Smartwater bottles issue with ease. In fact, there's enough room to stuff smaller things like gloves or snacks into the side pouches even when a 1.5 liter bottle is in them. And if you're like me and stick your trekking poles or other tall things like tents poles in the side pouches, this pack has a pretty good compression strap on the sides that will keep those taller items secure. The front zipper pouch is good sized, too. Nothing really else to say about it. The rear zippered waterproof pouch is weird, though. It's in a bad spot, right up against your back, so I can only see putting thin flat items in it, like a map, your tent's groundsheet, or maybe a pack raincover if you spread it out flat. If you put anything lumpy or sizeable in it, it will just be sticking you in the back. The fabric of the pack is ripstop nylon, similar to what's on REI Flash packs, which is perfectly fine. I have a pack with that fabric, and it hasn't ripped yet. One thing that I did notice is that the shoulder straps seemed to loosen up a bit as I was hiking. I had to tighten them up a little every 15 minutes or so. Not a big deal to me, but I thought that it was worth mentioning. The clips on the shoulder straps are decent. I hooked a mesh water bottle sleeve onto it, and had a 1 liter bottle in it. It held up fine, but it's slightly lower than I would've liked, but that's nit picking. My other water bottle was stored in a side pouch, it held that perfectly as well. I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this pack, especially at this price point. There's no way that I was going to spend $400+ dollars on a name brand ultralight pack that looked like not much more than a trash bag with straps. I was hoping for something that was adequate for a week long trip that I have planned, and I think that I found a winner!!! After only a single hike with it, I'd recommend it to anyone who asks. I'll use it more going forward, and adjust this review, if necessary. Hope that this helps!!!

Purchased for Alaskan cruise. Very, light weight, waterproof & great pockets. I give it a 10 overall. Great asset for my trip. Side pockets for water bottle and straps for extra placement. Kept items dry, shoulder straps comfortable. Very durable. And it can fold up to the size of a wallet when not in use.

I got this because I have arthritis and a nice, light alternative to a shoulder strap bag for day trips and outings. This backpack is exactly what I needed! The size is perfect, big and lots of pockets and room but not overwhelmingly large. The zipper pouch it folds into turns inside out when you unfold it into backpack mode and can be used as a great small zipper pouch on the inside of the large part of the backpack, which was really handy to have! The straps adjust easily, it sits very comfortable on my shoulders. We took this backpack boating, to the beach, on bus tours, all over the place and it has taken a lot of abuse so far without any issues! Packing it back up into the zipper pouch was really easy, and it's so convenient to be able to stick it in a suitcase as a small, 8-9 inch square that barely takes up any space!

This is a great pack that stores in its own pocket within the pack. The zipper pulls have frayed a bit with usage, but this is a really good pack for the price. Very lightweight with many pockets. Highly recommend.

I purchased this as a carry on bag for a long flight. It worked great. It has so many pockets and areas to store things, I felt my tablet and phone were well protected inside of it. It fits comfortably because of the adjustable straps, which are easy to slide your arms into. Once on your back, it feels comfortable and evenly distributes weight. The bag is lightweight and made of thin but durable fabric. The only complaint is the zippers catch the fabric. It seems to worsen with more use. Which I could avoid if I remember to flip the seams before I start zipping.

Great value for the price. It is light weight with lots of different storage areas and straps to tie things to it (like jackets, etc). I took this on a vacation in Europe and used it for my daily outings, it was perfect. If you are looking for a heavy duty, laptop compatible backpack, this is not the one. If you are looking for something light weight with lots of storage and 2 water bottle caring slots, this one is great.

I bought this backpack for my daughter for camp. Perfect and light. Has masses of storage and fit everything

I bought this for travelling, as my "personal item" bag, and to also use it as a day bag on my trip. It is probably too large for some airlines as a personal item, especially if its fully stuffed (i'm looking at you singapore airlines), but having said that, its a great day pack, and it would also be great as a carry on bag on the airlines which have super small size restrictions like easyjet and ryanair. The straps are about as thin as they can possibly be without compromising strength, but you would probably want more padding if you were doing "proper hiking" or lugging this bag around fully loaded. I dont think it would break, but the straps might dig into your shoulders. The bag weight is very light, considering how sturdy it is, so if you have a 7kg/15 lb weight restriction, this would be a good choice. I believe the weight in in the item description but its around 500g, or 1lb The pack away pouch is kind of pointless, i cant see me ever having the patience to origami fold this thing back into a square, but thats ok.

It is what I expected

Handles a lot of weight and has great pockets for carrying all you need

Good quality and plenty of pockets for storage
