comment
" ...  This backpack is definitely light weight but it does feel thin and a little flimsy. ... The best feature is that it easily folds up into a ball and comes with an attached case. ... I can easily stuff it back into its carrying case and take it with me when I travel, or to the beach or need a bag when shopping.  ...  "

" ...  Loving this backpack. ... Packs really small and very easily into its own little bag that is attached to the backpack.  ...  "

comment
" ...  The straps are wide enough and made of mesh. ... The tag does not say, “CORDURA”, but be advised, that 30D Nylon, is CORDURA fabric. ... It’s the same fabric they make tents out of. ... It feels very durable for what we need it for.  ...  "
comment
" ...  All seams are taped, straps are well anchored in the seams, good stitching, nice zippers, and nice water-repellant Cordura rip-stop nylon.  ...  "
