Perfect size and function for all outdoor activities. One of the most comfortable stools I have ever had. Very durable. I weigh 220 lbs and it works perfectly. Carrying case is a big bonus

5 Bev
Is on its way to Ireland for touring and painting landscapes. Small neat package and comfortable as well as stable.

5 Jeanette
I purchased this tripod seat to use when waiting at bus stops that do n't have any formal waiting areas and for when biking around Road America that can easily attached to my day bag to watch car races at various turns. I like this because it is light weight, easy to assemble/dissemble, and has a sturdy carrying case. I am 5' 9 '' and 140 lbs and is the perfect height. This is a great seat for utility use. It fits my needs of needing a seat on the go and provides compact storage in a tote, backpack, or any other type of bag. When I plan go go hiking in the future, this will definitely be with me to use when I need a short break or to just enjoy the scenery if lying on the ground is not optimal.

Love the color, style and comfort. I thought for the amount of money it cost in which it was 99. 00 that it should 've had a little wider compartments, however it has other amenities that helped with space. Overall I still give this back pack/ book sack a 5 star!!

Bought this for a highschool backpack, great backpack, had to buy a coordinating lunch box as the bag will not hold school supplies and a lunchbox. So it gets strapped into the shoe elastic.

It's a convenient size for everything I need on hikes. I absolutely love the backpack. It is extremely durable and well- made and very well thought out. It has tons of storage, hip belt and the hydration bladder is a plus as this helps cut down on the bulk of multiple water bottles. It is easy to access things in the side pockets without taking the whole backpack off. It's lightweight and feels less bulky than my old hiking bag.

Love the size and color! I can not wait to use this once the weather warms up in Illinois. It is the perfect size for a 4- 6 hour hike. Material is durable as well. I gave this 5 stars because of the size and look so far. It may change after I first use it. Love the straps on the back so it stays in place as you are walking.

5 Matt
Went for a hike with this new backpack that had the hydration sack in it. One of the best products I ’ ve got to try out and I absolutely love it. Slotty other than carrying a water bottle around inside of your backpack or attached to your backpack weighing you down. Absolutely buy another one.

Purchased because of discount price and size. I am over 6 foot 1 and tight sleeping bags are the worst for sleep. This is long, wide, and comfortable while still being light weight. The down is very comfortable and the cellphone pocket is very smart.

5 falonc2
[ I ’ m happy to have received this mummy sleeping bag for review. My boyfriend is 6 ft and this fit his length perfectly. The tag says it can fit up to 6 ’ 5 ” but I feel like it might be a little snug for someone taller than 6 ft. I love that this is a thinner compact sleeping bag that keeps you warm. The fabric is nice and silky and the hood is big enough to cover your head. I ’ m going to keep it in my car for emergencies. Overall, I recommend you try this sleeping bag!

5 ruby2nb
[ Exactly what I expected! Amazing quality materials and absolutely lightweight for travel- folds down easy for repacking! Haven ’ t slept outside with it yet but it was used in the house before we turned the heat on and it was absolutely toasty- fits my 6ft husband easily as well. My son has been using it as a blanket!

I bought the Away Everywhere Zip Backpack for work, but it quickly became my go- to travel companion too. It's sleek and stylish enough for the office, but super functional on the go. I recently took it with me to Thailand and was so impressed with how well it held up. One of my favorite features is that the zippers go all the way down the sides — makes digging around for things mid- flight or in a rush so much easier. It fits everything I need without feeling bulky and still looks polished no matter where I take it.

This is a perfect bag for travelers! You would n't believe how much you can fit into this bag! I love the clamshell design which allows you to separate items in your back. Plenty of external pockets but not too many which I think is super handy! It's the worst when you are looking for something in one of your many outer pockets. This bag has just enough. Highly recommend

5 Laurel K.
I bought a travel pack years ago for a partner and am finally excited to have my own. I stuck with a 42L after reading reviews of the new 50L packs being too big for a petite frame. I ’ m 5 ’ 2 ” and so far so good. Packing cubes came with purchase thanks to a Black Friday deal so looking forward to using this summer traveling Italy for a month.

The Quest Expedition was exactly what i was looking for. I tend to over pack for day trips so i went for the 45L size pack. Can still fit a lot stuff inside. Its very comfortable to wear all day. I feel like its very well made and will hold up for a while.

5 Dean
Nice sized backpack with quality construction. Big enough for medium trips without being too big. Lots of pockets for storage. Nicely padded straps. Perfect for flights or medium length backpacking.

5 Jstan2700
This backpack is very big and sturdy and it can definitely hold a lot of whatever you need. I like that is has additional smaller pockets on the handles and straps to keep small things like wallets, cash, or cards dry and separate from the rest of the items you 're holding. the arm and waist straps are seemingly strong and easy to adjust to proper fit, and they hold the pack in place very securely. It's also nice looking and the easy to remove/attach waterproof cover is an additional plus.

5 Angel21
This backpack is very nice. Has several smaller pockets to store several items. It is lightweight and comfortable to wear. The straps adjust very easily. It also has a rain cover that works great. And the cover is easily stored in one of the pockets. Would definitely recommend

5 Kasey
This is a lightweight backpack that I feel is a good balance of capacity and comfort. Lightweight but durable fabric. It has buckles that can keep the backpack more compact, or unclipped, can expand to the full size. Has many pockets and comes with a rain shield in a bottom pocket to cover the whole backpack in the rain. The chest and waist clips to secure the backpack are comfortable too. This backpack also has a central zipper down the middle which would help you reach anything inside easily, even in the bottom of the pack.

I bounce around a lot, going from Colorado to California, and places in between… and being organized, as well as strategic in my packing is always a priority. This pack hits all the marks. Separate zip compartments inside and outside as well as a laptop/iPad padded compartment. Love this bag!

5 Aliya S.
Cotopaxi really thinks of it all with their updated version. Some of my favorite features are: all the easy to reach pockets. When you 're traveling you get to know all the little details of the bag and i love all the hidden spots where I know exactly where all my things have their designated spots are so im not searching through the whole bag. Of course, the reason why I got the bag is because of the suitcase stye which makes everything so much easier to reach. I also love how durable this bag is! I throw this thing around and stuff it to the brim and it takes it all like a champ. I have also used this on backpacking trips while traveling and while it may not be the ideal backpacking/hiking bag it does the job and well! Finally the design it super cute! The updates of the little stabilizer so you can balance it on your suitcase and the the water bottle pocket and all that is so great!

5 Blair M.
This backpack is great for work travel. Has all the compartments you need, including laptop. I travel for work 5- 10 days a month and this is the backpack that works for short travel. Highly recommend.

5 Britt M
[ The Zip 0. 8L is my new go to stove for most adventures! It is easy to use even without the directions since the labeling on the jetboil illustrates the proper usage. This is the first of the jetboil systems I have owned and I am very pleased with its functionality. I have been able to use it quite a bit this winter and it boiled water quickly even in negative Fahrenheit conditions and higher elevations( tested around 10000 ft). Changing the amount of heat is smooth with the dial and it is seamless to ignite. My favorite part is the lid that makes it effortless to pour hot water out and the additional holes if you need to control the water you drain out. The system is also very easy to clean and pack. I plan to use it not only for ski/snowshoe days but also on my next camping trip to Norway since it's so small and easy to pack. Jetboil gave me this free product to try.

5 Damian S
[ Jet boil gave me this product to try. I could n't be happier with it. I 've used it winter camping in the Beartooths in Montana and I was amazed how well it worked and how efficient it was. Highly recommended!

5 Jon E
[ Jetboil gave me this free product to try. As a bikepacker who values lightweight, compact gear, the Jetboil Zip 0. 8 has become my go- to stove for all my adventures. After using it on several long- distance bikepacking trips, I can confidently say that this stove is a game- changer. First off, the lightweight design is perfect for bikepacking. It's small and packs down easily, fitting into my gear without taking up much space. It is super light, it wo n't weigh you down, which is essential when you 're trying to keep your gear minimal and efficient on the trail. The boil time is impressive for such a compact system. I can bring water to a boil in about 2 minutes, which is fast enough for a quick morning coffee or preparing a meal after a long day of riding. It saves me time and energy, so I can get back on the trail sooner. I also love how fuel- efficient the Zip is, especially since bikepacking often means you need to carry enough fuel for several days. The stove's FluxRing technology ensures an even boil while using less fuel, so I can stretch my fuel canister further- saving both weight and space in my panniers. One feature I particularly appreciate for bikepacking is the neoprene cover which helps to insulate the pot while also keeping you from burning your hands. It's built to handle the bumps and jostles of being packed alongside other gear in my bike bags. The stove fits nicely into the pot, with room for a fuel canister, matches and utensils. I also like that the plastic cup used to protect the Fluxring has volume measurements on it in case you need to measure out a small amount of water. The Jetboil Zip might not have all the bells and whistles of more advanced models, but it's incredibly effective for what I need on the trail. It's affordable, reliable, and just the right size for my bikepacking setup. If you 're planning a bikepacking trip and want a stove that's efficient, easy to use, and does n't weigh you down, I highly recommend the Jetboil Zip Cooking System. It's simple, durable, and perfect for fueling your outdoor adventures.

5 Gary K
[ I have used the older versions of the jetboil, and they have streamlined a few things. For instance the regulator knob is indicated with a+ and- diagram. This may seem trivial but I frequently try and turn up the flame and turn off the gas. Not that big of a deal but I instantly noticed this and now always know which way to adjust the volume. Great product!!

5 Jason E
I have not used the one that I ordered as of yet. I bought this because a buddy of mine has it and have used it a few times and it is great. Much lighter than my old setup and is much faster, meaning less fuel. I do n't mind that it does n't have an igniter, I tend to just throw a mini Bic in the cup and leave it there, not to mention I always have another lighter with me for emergencies.

[ As first time campers, when my partner and I first saw how compact and light the package was, we were skeptical of whether it would be large enough. However after setting it up- which was super easy- it was as roomy as you need it to be. The hardest part was putting it back into the bag as neatly as it came. However if you are impatient like my partner and prefer to just stuff it in, it still works, which is great! It is a three person tent, but is a tiny bit cramped imo, for two people however, it ’s perfect with some spare space. As a two person tent I ’ d rate it 5. As a three person, only for size I ’ m rating it 4.

5 cliniquem1
[ Camping in the backyard is a vibe! Reading your favorite book while chilling in the tent is fun. My daughter had a fun experience! Outside of that, the Ampex tent is very durable and easy to put together. It would be great for 1 person to go on a camping experience in the woods and they would have great shelter and enough room to have a backpack inside of the tent with them. We love it!

I wanted a lightweight carryon and the mini- 20 is perfect. I can a lot into it and of course, I love the colors.

5 James B.
What a wonderfully versatile backpack! I was hesitant to purchase a backpack because I 'm not a big person and I was concerned I would look like a 1st grader headed off to school with any pack on my back. This one is perfect and I am delighted that it is not huge and cumbersome. It holds everything I need to carry on the train or a plane and it fits underneath the seat in front of me without worry. The quality is fantastic and I know I will get many years of use out of this bag. The colors are mellow and not masculine like bags that are all black or dark navy. Love it and highly recommend it to women and men as well!

Honestly ca n't say I 've had any of the issues other people mentioned. I 've slept in the tent a few times now, including inclement weather. Once in the winter when it hit 17F and recently during during storms with driving rain. The winter I picked up frost on the inside of the fly with the vents open, would vent doors next time. During the down pour the fly wet out but the inside stayed dry. Nothing flapped in the wind or leaked water. The stakes supplied are plenty. I might spring for nicer stakes, but ca n't complain at the price point. Much more room than my Quarter dome. Not sure how you make it easier to set up? Match the colors insert the poles clip the clips- put the peak pole on top of the cross poles stakes in the loops. I 'll be in touch to see if I can get the bike pack poles for it.

I bought this to do some backcountry elk hunting in oregon. I am not planning to get more then 8 miles back so the weight is really not a concern to me even though its really not that heavy. Its definitely bigger then I expected as I have purchased cheaper 2- person tents in the past that your head was smooshed into the wall of the tent. Bottom of the tent is a little thin so I do suggest running a tyvek type ground cover underneath of it if you are running any type of sleeping pad. For the price it will hunt and sleep fantastic!

5 Hunter D
Took it out for a weekend and was very comfortable. Had some unexpected wind and rain and has absolutely no problems at all. Kept bugs out very well. Only complaint is the netting seems to stop too high up so the ventilation doesn ’ t make its way to the floor very well. Solid purchase either way and I can ’ t wait to use it again.

5 Howard K
I wore out one of these. Using it for solo car camping and short back packs to base camps. No heavier than any 4 season tent and quite warm with the high solid nylon walls. Mine was a little compact inside but fine solo. I had a couple who lived in one for a week. He was tall and she was petite. I like the basic stand alone pole system of a dome tent. The fly can be tied to maximize airflow and ventilation. I did buy a Tiger Wall, but I live where I can get `` factory '' deals and I 'll lighten my pack any chance I get, but I was ready to get another one of these and the vestibule!

I ’ ve had a Kanken backpack for YEARS that I love especially for just running errands around town, but I ’ ve been finding it a bit small for when I ’ m out hiking or on day trips. I knew I wanted a roll top bag so that I could have the option of more space, and I ’ m so so happy with this bag. Especially bc of the zipper closure which provides extra security when the bag is filled to the brim. The bag is lightweight, material is easy to clean, and is very comfortable to wear even when packed full!

5 Chanwoori J.
I love this backpack, got it in Ochre and I use it every day. Got another one since I love it so much!

5 Haley S.
I was looking for a new pack that had more volume than my current hiking day pack that could also function as a bag for errands and other outings. I love that it's foldable and you can stuff it full or just have a few things in it. So far it has accompanied me to the farmer's market, grocery store, and the park, is incredibly comfortable and secure when riding my bike. I ca n't wait to get more use out of it.

5 Sylvia S.
I purchased my foldsack because I have a High Coast 18 that I absolutely adore but needed a rest. When I saw this pack for the first time, I knew I had to have it! The first thing that I gravitated towards was the zipper closure combined with the fold over hook. Which was a great feature because I use my pack for just about everything so this comes in handy if I fill my pack to the brim and need extra security. It is waterproof and Eco friendly... game changer! I am 5' 2 so I thought it would look huge on my back but it looks similar to my 18L. I am in love with all the color options but I chose Rowan Red which is close to a deep orange. I 'll still take my High Coast 18 on treks but this High Coast Foldsack 24 is riding shotgun from now on.

Great bag. Good quality. Works well. I use it for kayaking and everything in it stays dry.

Mine has been 100% waterproof I would just like a little more eye appeal since it's very expensive. Worth the money otherwise. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

[ Purchased this bag for shoulder season backpacking in Colorado. I used it for the firsttime last weekend. Night time temps got down to around 28F and this bag kept me toasty and feeling warm all through the night. It is incredibly light weight considering the fill and has a nice feel to the material. The only thing I would change is to have the secondary foot zipper extend further into the foot box area. It does n't expel heat fast enough if you run warm.

I recently purchased a travel backpack, and I could n't be happier with my choice! One of the standout features is its spacious interior, which provides ample room for all my essentials. Whether I 'm packing for a weekend getaway or a longer trip, I can easily fit everything I need without feeling cramped. In addition to its practicality, the backpack is sleek and stylish, making it a great accessory for any travel outfit. The design is modern and visually appealing, which is a huge plus for someone like me who values aesthetics as much as functionality. Comfort is another key aspect that impressed me. The padded straps and ergonomic design make it easy to carry, even when fully loaded. I 've taken it on several adventures already, and I appreciate how comfortable it feels on my back. Overall, I highly recommend this travel backpack to anyone in need of a reliable, stylish, and spacious option for their travels. It truly checks all the boxes!

I received the 45L version as a gift from family before a trip and I realised that, whilst perfect as a carry- on, it would n't pass as a personal item for flights. So I signed up for restock notifications and as soon as the 25L size came back, I snapped it up! It's so easy to fit so many things in such as clothes, toiletries, electronics etc. There's a pocket for everything! For the size, it's not too heavy in weight but it feels robust and high quality.

5 Christine
The perfect all around backpack! I 've used it for commuting, hiking, biking, and as my carry on for air travel and it never disappoints. I like it for its large capacity and loads of interior organization features. Pockets for water bottles, laptops, and everything in between.

Frequently Asked Questions For Christmas Gift Ideas For Backpackers

When selecting Christmas gifts for backpackers, consider items that enhance their outdoor experience. Practical gifts like portable seating solutions, lightweight sleeping options, or versatile travel packs can be very useful. Additionally, gifts that promote comfort and convenience during their adventures, such as compact tents or durable backpacks, are often appreciated.

When choosing gifts for backpackers, look for features that prioritize portability, durability, and functionality. Lightweight materials are essential for easy transport, while water resistance can protect belongings from the elements. Versatile designs that serve multiple purposes can also enhance the overall experience for outdoor enthusiasts.

For backpacking gifts, materials that are lightweight yet durable are ideal. Look for items made from high-quality nylon or polyester, which offer strength without adding bulk. Additionally, water-resistant or quick-drying fabrics can be beneficial for various outdoor conditions.

To cater to different types of backpackers, consider their specific needs and preferences. Some may prefer ultralight gear for long hikes, while others might prioritize comfort and extra features for car camping. Understanding their typical activities can help you select a gift that aligns with their backpacking style.

Seasonal factors can influence the types of gifts that are most suitable for backpackers. For winter trips, consider items that provide warmth and insulation, while summer gifts might focus on lightweight and breathable gear. Additionally, think about the types of trips they take, such as weekend getaways versus extended excursions, to ensure the gift is practical.
