NEEKFOX 35L Hiking Backpack Foldable Lightweight Packable Sports Travel Daypack

My hiking is the urban variety - trekking 7-8 miles daily across NYC streets. I'm used to carrying a big ole multi-laptop/carry-all/perfect for flying and the day-to-day grind, but it feels "deathly monstrous and bulky when walking" type of bag. I decided to change it up to see if a hiking bag was more appropriate. Definitely glad I did.The Neekfox allowed me to have something more functional for casual walks around the city (and more importantly, outside!) while still carrying my daily supplies (laptop, Switch, some cables, and on a recent occasion a Roland JU-08 sound module for a recording session).The first thing I noticed when opening the box -- this is a surprisingly well-made bag and a great deal of care went into making it. It’s not what I expected at the price point (an incredible value). The bag was folded into itself when first unwrapped - optimizing space even before it's being used to transport goods / food / water. Very cool.Pros:- Bag is super-lightweight and has a "barely-there" quality to it while still being sturdy. The description is on point.- There are multiple compartments to separate food items from larger bulk.- Reflective material on the backpack (I didn't have much use for this, but it's certainly not detracting from the bag and adds an- Water-resistant. I was able to go through some light rain with no issues. It doesn’t qualify as water-proof (nor is it advertised as such)Cons (and yes, there are a few):- The size. 35L is actually perfect for a daypack (and there's no issue here considering it's in the product description). The problem for me is I overpack anytime I go anywhere. This is more a product "want" than anything else and if you're in the market for a 35L (should be good for most daily activity), this is perfect.- The straps feel thin at first. While this is likely to be a positive for many other people, I'm used to bulkier straps and this took a little bit of getting used to. If you’re used to thinner straps this is a non-issue. Again it’s more of a personal preference than an actual “con”.I gave this 5/5 because the Cons are really points of preference vs. actual qualms.

I have three of these. Have been using the first one regularly for a year. Prefer it over pricier daypacks with padded backs unless I'm carrying my laptop. The fabric is textured and durable, more so than my first packable daypack. The daypack itself is lightweight, very sturdy, large, has lots of pockets for organizing, and takes a minimal amount of space in addition to its contents, which makes it perfect for shoving under an airline seat or taking in a safari jeep. I love the purple color so much I bought one as a spare, then had to buy a gray one to take on safari where it performed like a champ.

Was looking for inexpensive backpack without water camel for recent 2 week group tour of Ireland. My two existing packs were either too big or small and had the pouch for water camels which adds a little extra weight. I saw this on line for $19 plus change and ordered it. Soon as it came, I knew it would be perfect and emailed info to friends who were also going on trip. They also ordered and used it. Being advised that rain is almost a daily given in Ireland, I sprayed the pack with waterproof spray. It darkened the color but who cares? I really never had the pack out in the rain as I left it on the bus each day there was heavy rain so cant say if the spray worked. I LOVED THIS PACK. Had plenty of room to store water bottles, umbrella, rain jacket, scarf, regular jacket large amt of snacks, my trecking shoes, quart bag for plane liquids, inner zippered pocket to store passport and other items you DONT want to leave in a suitcase. Our suitcases were stored under tour busses and this pack let me carry all I needed for each day of touring. Walking city tours, museums, etc to rugged coastal trail at Giants Causeway. When fully packed for plane ride, the pack was heavy but the zippers and materials stood the challenge. GREAT JOB of producing a good travel day pack for a very reasonable price.

I’m giving this a four star because I just received it and haven’t used it to be able to judge that aspect.The item I received looks beautiful. I ordered the orange. Nice shade. Unisex. My son loves it. It feels durable for light weight not sure how it will hold with heavy things in it. But if I have to judge based on the texture of the fabric, it will hold semi heavy items - clothes, snacks, few books etc. my son will be using this for school, we’ll see how long it lasts. (He’s in 3rd grade). Very good as a personal Luggage for flying, good for hiking trips, camping, overnight bags etc. very spacious. Has a laptop segment inside. Has a few other pocket/compartments. Overall it’s a very nice backpack. You won’t be making a mistake with this.

Perfect for camping, hiking, weekend overnight bag, carry-on bag, school bag. Very versatile, durable and LOTS of pockets and places to hook stuff. I attached my 1st aid kit. Flashlight. Sit upon and had extra water bottles in the side pockets. Along with everything else I needed for our hike. The pack was super comfortable and feather light so it didn't add extra weight to the load. It also folds back down to a small bag when not in use. I LOVE this AND it comes in TONS of colors

As stated above, this is a wonderful backpack to bring with you everywhere, everyday. Ideal for a change of clothes, charger, and a few lightweight items. I would not recommend using this as a constant hiking pack or a Bug Out Bag. Some features that I found neat was a built in whistle, although not that loud. The chest strap keeps the bag snug to your chest, and helps keep the strain off of your lower back. It also folds up and zips into a mini bag for storage. It's a good bag to keep in the car folded up until your car breaks down, then you can unfold it, and pack all your important/sensitive items and leave on foot if you need to. If you need an everyday backpack but dont really need a $100+ bag, this could be for you. I love mine.
