Customer Reviews Eagle Creek Travel Essentials Packable Daypack

A super convenient packable back pack that folds into itself. Fabric is sturdy, the blue color true to picture on website. This I plan to throw into my suitcase as an extra pack for daytime use. I bought more than one as I think it would make a great gift for someone.

I first purchased one of these backpacks for our daughter about five years ago. Since then she has used it virtually everyday while out walking her dog. Super lightweight and durable it is ideal for such activity. It has served her very well, but its finally time for a refresh!

Smaller than I expected but still big enough to get the job done. Fits running shoes, tights and shirt and water bottle, not much room for anything else. Also used it when going on bike rides around town when on vacation; it was big enough to hold my bike helmet while I was window shopping, plus wallet, phone, small packages etc. Overall a great little bag!

I was involved in an armed robbery where my bag was trying to be taken. Stupidly I fought back and throughout the tussle this bag held together incredibly well. I will only use these now!

The design is a great mix of subtle and stylish. I love the extra features, especially the ring to hold the zippers. It really prevents the noise of clanging zippers. So simple, yet perfect for a casual day pack to take on travels

This next purchase today will be my 4th pack. Lasts a long time. Helps me with my life. Great design and function. Thank you Eagle Creek, I use this everyday.

I have traveled with only an Eagle Creek daypack for years. It saw me through many countries while traveling for business as my only piece of luggage. But it was so old that it didn't have a side pocket for a water bottle and it was a little big for what I needed now in my retirement. I was so excited to find this packable version. I love the color and it's so lightweight...and has a good size side pocket for my water bottle. I'm short and a minimal packer, so this beauty is the perfect size for my travels, whenever I'm able to travel again.

This little foldable, stiwablevpacknis perfect for me. I live in a tiny house so I have to be very careful about acquiring anything that takes up space! But I walk miles every day with my rescue pup and need to carry water for us both. This little pack is perfect. Room for several bottles and her collapsible bowl plus my phone, keys, mask, etc. When we get home I fold it up into its tiny sack and stow it away! Plus the price was amazing! Thanks Eagle Creek! #sweepstakes

This backpack is the perfect size for traveling. It fits under the airplane seat in front of me, it holds snacks, water and my electronics. Lightweight and perfect for a day of walking and sightseeing g!

Love the colors. It looks best in it's class. After much deliberation, I chose this bag because of the packed size and the "normal" looking bag. Doesn't scream for too much attention. Lite security on zips and a very usuable water bottle spot. I used a packing square from my main bag to keep my sketching supplies and cords in place. Price is awesome compared to similar classed items.

I use this daily for work during longer shifts when i have to go other places and don't have time to go home. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that a lot of other bags have but I love the vibrant color, that the zippers can lock into the loop, and I never lose my keys anymore because they are attached in the front pocket. I've fed my charging cord through the loop as well to quickly retrieve it when it's connected to my power bank inside. It has quickly replaced my leather bag (I'm shocked). I don't know if I'll ever need anything else. This material is going to last. The padding on the straps are a really nice touch. It feels good on the shoulders. I told my husband I never have been this excited about a backpack before in my life. Love it!

I bought this backpack for a South East Asia trip. Worked perfectly for our day trips. Despite the hot and humid weather, I stayed cool. Really liked the ability to "lock" the pack to prevent pick-pocketing.

Plenty of room to hold my pickleball paddle, iPad, towel, goggles, book, and snacks. Very comfortable.

After months of searching I have finally found the perfect backpack. It is large enough to carry what I need, hiking, wandering the streets of Santa Fe or sight seeing in Ireland. Yet it is small enough that I can easily take it anywhere and I don't end up with a sore back.

I always throw this into my suitcase as my 'just in case' bag. A lot of places wont allow larger backpacks, but this holds just enough for a day tour from a light jacket to all the 'stuff' one may need. It even has a water bottle pocket. Very lightweight and folds up well so easy to pack in your larger bag.

The photos posted should be self-explanatory. The blue color is very nice. My mom figured out how to unfold and fold the daypack easily. As stated elsewhere, this daypack is not suitable for heavy materials like a laptop; however, it seems great for everyday items and could even be a purse substitute. One issue is whether the daypack is water-resistant. Apparently the outside material does contain some wicking material, but we don't know yet whether the contents inside can withstand a thunderstorm. It would be helpful if the company clarified.

Used this almost every day for one year in Asia. Item remained strong and fit for purpose. Looks stylish which is a plus. After one year of daily bashing it around, the netting on side pocket has a small hole and very occassionally the main zip comes apart. I still trust the item and use it. Only way to improve would be extra small organiser pocket inside main compartment. Perfect for purpose - it's very light weight, folds small, is durable. It's the right choice.

This is a very handy and lightweight backpack that is ideal for being hands-free when you don't need to carry much. The quality is very good and it is easy to fold up. It is light and takes up very little space. It can also be used as an organizer in a larger pack. For many years I have used a larger backpack even for smaller loads, and on this trip really enjoyed having a lighter backpack. I wish I had had it on a recent wilderness trip for shorter hikes that did not require a day pack (which was all that I had at the time).

Good for everyday use! I use it while shopping, traveling, biking, day hikes, and more!

This backpack is great to take on vacay as a bag during the day or a "just in case" you in it. Can be used as a carryon if you wind up over packing or shopping on vacay. Such a versatile bag.

Was looking for a bag that I could pack and take while we explore locations and/or visit amusement parks. This one is great! Easy to pack (packs into it's own front pocket), light weight, water resistant, and looks great. Really like the theft-proof zipper. Size and color make it usable by both kids and adults.

We already had an older Eagle Creek packable daypack which we love but we needed a second one for a trip, so I ordered this one. It is very utilitarian and fit our needs. Very easily packable into itself (see product description) and a good size for a casual day trip. The fabric feels a little lightweight especially compared to our older Eagle Creek pack but appears serviceable. Good value for the price.

I bought the black one, and it's a nice heathered black (a bit darker than the picture). The material is super lightweight but feels a bit sturdier than most packable bags. It also improves on many lightweight daypacks by using zippers as a closure for the main compartment, which is more secure than the cinch closure many light packs use. I will use it both for travel and as an everyday pack for work. The only way I can think to improve this would be to add the capacity for a bit more organization in the main compartment -- either a zippered interior pocket, or at least an o-ring or clip so that a zippered bag could be clipped in. (I have a zippered pouch for my passport, and it would be nice to be able to clip it inside the main compartment to make sure it doesn't fall out when I'm removing other items.) Otherwise, this is a perfect version of a packable daypack.
