The KIVA Keychain backpack.
My older son is a packrat and a cool stuff, gadget geek. He found this in a local store and just loved the fact that a backpack-sized bag folded up so small.
I paid this particular purchase no attention until I was packing for our trip to Italy. Since we were backpacking, it seemed that it would be useful as a daypack.
Well, was that an understatement. We used it every day. For general daypack use (wallets, keys, camera, etc), for groceries, for loaning to my sister-in-law who had forgotten to bring a daypack and wanted to take her kids to Pisa for the day. General all-purpose, fit-in-your-pocket, glad-I-brought-it workhorse of a little bag.
The bag doesn't have any padding on the straps and is very light, so I wouldn't want to try to overfill it.
Especially useful for backpackers who need something a little smaller and lighter to use as a daypack.
Available at a long list of online retailers. Or check out the KIVA website to find a physical store nearest you.
