G4Free 40L Lightweight Packable Hiking Backpack, Waterproof Travel Daypack

I can’t say enough good things about the G4Free 40L Lightweight Packable Hiking Backpack! I originally bought it for hiking, but over time it’s become my go-to bag for theme parks, weekend trips, Cheer Comps, and everyday adventures. I loved the light blue floral pattern. It reflects the sun and helps keep my back cooler in the hot Florida sunHere’s why I keep coming back to it:✅ Incredibly Durable – I’ve had this backpack for over 3 years, and aside from a little dirt, it’s still in amazing shape—no rips, no tears, and all the zippers still work perfectly. That’s saying a lot given how much I’ve used it.✅ Lightweight & Comfortable – Even when fully packed, it’s easy on the shoulders. The adjustable straps and chest buckle help distribute weight well for all-day wear.✅ Perfect for Travel – It folds into a compact pouch, which makes it a breeze to pack in a suitcase. I always bring it as my extra bag when traveling, and it’s saved me more than once!✅ Park Essential – For theme park days, this bag is a lifesaver. It holds water bottles, snacks, sunscreen, ponchos, souvenirs—you name it—without feeling bulky.✅ Spacious but Organized – The 40L capacity is generous, but the smart pocket layout helps me keep everything in its place.✅ Water-Resistant & Tough – It’s handled light rain and rough terrain without a problem.For the price, the value is unbeatable. Whether you’re hiking, traveling, or just need a reliable daypack, this bag delivers. I’m seriously impressed by how well it’s held up over the years—and I don’t plan on replacing it anytime soon! I loved it so much I bought one for my sister.

I’m so excited about this backpack! I searched everywhere for something that could actually support two large water bottles, and this one is perfect. I currently have a 17oz and a 32oz Owala bottle in the side pockets with no issues—they stay secure, and I even think it could handle slightly larger bottles. It has several compartments that help keep things organized: two on the front, one against the back, and a small zip pocket inside for essentials. I bought this for outings with my daughter, and none of my other backpacks could hold the bottles without them falling out. This one checks all the boxes and is going to be perfect for our adventures!

Purchased for hiking in Glacier NP and it did not disappoint at all! Super lightweight with any pockets and size differences. The clip on the front was a game changer for leveling out the weight but I was also able to easily clip my bear on the front for easy access. For reference, I am 5’3” and the pack was the perfect size for my build, not too small and doesn’t overtake my body like some others can do. Oh! Almost forgot i loved the way it folds up so neat for storage. So neat!

Solid waterproof backpack. I like the color. Kind of thought it would have more form to the bag, I know it's supposed to be foldable but it has little substance to it. Nonetheless, a good choice overall.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love this backpack!!! Very spacious and has held up wonderfully.

I love this backpack. It is the perfect weight and size for me.

Lightweight and XL but foldable. Using on my trip to Italy.

I’ve come back after continuous use for 2 years to write this review. Very sturdy, hasn’t been a single rip, coming from a college student carrying a mountain of books all the time. The floral print is pretty. Lots of pocket to put your stuff. Overall the best college bag I purchased. I recommend
