Le Pliage Club Backpack

I got the green and orange one. I thought it was a bit bigger but I got surprise when once I put my winter break jacket and a puffy jacket (both are compact, Patagonia style) a book, water bottle, wallet, granola bars and a small salad. I brought bc I wanted a new backpack that I can use at any occasion, and it worked. I like that is stylish and functional. I took it for a hike and for running errands. I’m 100 sure it will work perfectly in my next traveling trip. I tried and the space is perfect for my passport holder, water bottle, wallet, book and my puffy jacket.

Just the right size and very attractive, but your belongings are not easily accessible. Not very practical for everyday use. The zipper is awkward and must be opened each and every time you need to pull something from the bag, such as fobs, keys or your sunglasses. If there were an outside pouch to store such necessities, it would be just about perfect.

I love the look and size of this backpack. However, the zipper is hard to open and close. It is a nuisance. I think it’s because of the shape of the opening and the type of zipper used. A heavier more expensive zipper would help. This backpack wasn’t cheap. I think a more impressive zipper should have been used.

Very lightweight I use it as my hiking backpack It can hold 2 bottles of water and 1 camera You can also take your jacket in the bag

I recently bought this backpack to use as a small purse for traveling. I flew with a rolling carry-on and a larger backpack. Once we got to our destination I used this as a purse and left the other 2 bags in our hotel room. This was perfect for walking around site-seeing. It held everything I needed- wallet, sunglasses case, small toiletries bag, small medication bag, 10oz water bottle, epi-pen and a small bag of trail mix. It was comfortable to wear (probably because it's small) and loved the security of a snap top plus zipper to keep it closed. I took off a star because it needs a pull tab where the zipper starts. It's hard to zip closed unless you pinch the purse when pulling the zipper closed. I think I'll have my local shoe repair-man take some of the extra backpack strap and sew it into the seam where the zipper starts to make it easier to zip shut.

I understand it's a basic roll-up/travel bag, but I was disappointed in the quality especially at this price. The nylon straps and plastic buckles made it look extremely cheap. For $60 more you can get a nice Tumi backpack. Had to return it...
