I purchased this bag for my recent trip through Asia. With the Rainy Season upon us, visiting Asia means being prepared for all types of weather. This bag was light and compact enough to travel with. The bag was able to pack into itself making it small enough to fit into your luggage. When I used the backpack, it was surprisingly large. I was able to fit an umbrella, rain jacket, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc. The bag was never bulky. Even while street shopping, the bag served as a great way to tug my purchases along. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this purchase. It was well worth the price. This is my first review on and I am writing this because of how satisfied I am with this product. I cannot recommend this bag enough.
