I love my Zomake backpack! It packs down in it’s own zipper pocket so it is easy drop into another bag or suitcase. Makes a perfect day pack once at your destination. I actually bought a second one for my husband and carry it inside mine so we have a place for jackets as the day grows warmer or rain gear when not in use.
Hi Janica,
I’m so glad to hear that you love it! It’s so handy to have a bag like this that packs down easily.
Ahh, that collapsible water bottle seems like such a must-have! I don’t want to buy plastic bottles, but I can’t bring a glass bottle obviously. This seems like the perfect middle-ground!
Yep! And it doesn’t take up much space when it’s not in use.
Such a great list!! Unique maps for tracking my adventures are always the best!
I agree. I love my travel tracking map!
