Is the Dakine Packable 22L worth it?

Yes if you want a light spare bag that disappears into a suitcase. It is not a substitute for a padded everyday backpack.

How small does it pack?

It stuffs into its internal pocket, ending up roughly the size of a large fist or a small pouch. That makes it easy to stash in luggage or a car.

No. The recycled shell has a water-repellent finish that handles drizzle and splashes, but seams and the drawstring top are not sealed against steady rain.

Can it hold a laptop?

There is no padded laptop sleeve, and the drawstring top offers little protection. A 13-inch laptop fits loosely, but this is not a commuter bag for electronics.

Just the backpack. It arrives folded into its own pocket with no rain cover or extra accessories.

Packable bags like this usually drop during fall clearance and pre-summer travel sales. Watch the price history for dips below the typical mid-range price.

About the Dakine Packable 22L Backpack

The Dakine Packable 22L Backpack is a lightweight daypack that stuffs into its own internal pocket, making it easy to toss in a suitcase or glove box. It holds 22 liters, measures about 18 by 10.25 by 8 inches, and weighs roughly 4.8 ounces, so it adds almost nothing to your load. The shell is recycled polyester and nylon with a water-repellent finish and a drawstring top. It is a secondary bag for travel and day trips, not a daily hauler.
