I love this lightweight backpack in light blue! It is a beautiful aqua color. The ripstop fabric seems very sturdy. I think that this backpack is perfect for a woman of average height, but may not work as well for a tall man or woman. It's actually not that large. I have a G4Free 40L backpack of similar design from several years ago and this 35L backpack is about one inch narrower at the bottom. If you can use it as a travel bag, that's great, but I'd find it a bit small for that. As a daypack for hiking it's perfect, though. Numerous features including many pockets and a front clip with whistle. The plastic lined zipped compartment is on the back of the backpack and it's fairly large - almost the full length of the backpack. This backpack is a bit heavier than my previous one (480 gm versus 314 gm), and it also has a bit more stiffness and rigidity to it. I'd be hesitant to fold it into the pouch for fear that the plastic in lined pocket would degrade over time. I just received it, so I haven't tested it out, but I'm really pleased with it so far! My old G4Free backpack is still going strong, but the fabric has gotten worn over time and it has two small tears that I covered with clear nail polish. It doesn't help that I've brought it to the beach and filled it with rocks and shells....
See my photo for comparison of 40L backpack vs this 35L backpack. As you can see, the 35L backpack is considerably larger when folded into the front pocket that becomes the backpack storage sack. The logo on the 35L is sewn on rather than printed on as it is on the 40L model. If you were to examine these two backpacks side by side as I have done, you’d most likely agree that the 35L model has far superior construction. The selling features of the 40L are the smaller size for packing when folded, less weight and larger capacity. Both have same comfortable shoulder straps. Personally I believe that the 35L model is much more attractive and appears to be sturdier.
