Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Stowaway Pack

Is well made as I have learned to expect from all L.L. Bean products. Have not used as yet, but will be using when I take a trip for Christmas. Did try it on and it fits beautifully.

Great lightweight design for hauling around theme parks or taking o the gym

Purchased as "shore" bag on a cruise. Fit flat in suitcase. Easily accommodated all my beach day shore gear - water, snacks, towel, water shoes, goggles, cap, sunscreens, underwater camera, rash guard, phone, change of clothes, bag for wet suit, shower toiletries and other misc. Nice separate pouches to tuck away $, etc. Tossed in the home washer/air dried and we're both ready to go somewhere again!

Light, comfortable, sturdy, and practical. Best I've had!

Second one I bought. Great, practical option for a quick hike, sightseeing or day outing.

Very comfortable w/ chest & waist straps buckled. Used all over Arizona, desert hiking.

Well made improved overvprior similar model Nice new color

The lightweight pack is well designed, offering all the features you need in a backpack.

A winning purchase! this pack is light, fits a lot, and is very sturdy while also flexible.

well made - light, plenty of space for a day hike.

Well made, well thought out. I just wish the logos were still embroidered instead of now being printed on.

LOVE. Does exactly what it promises and does it well. Love how compact it is for packing, but can hold plenty. Would recommend to anyone for day hikes!

We were looking for lightweight packable backpacks for travel. These backpacks fit the bill to a T! They are lightweight but hold a lot of gear - jacket, change of clothes, water bottles, Kindle, deck of cards, snacks - just what you need to have on hand when dashing through the airport or a day hike! They will fit in your suitcase and are great to bring home all those treasures you find on your travels. We highly recommend these backpacks!

I have been using this as my beach bag. It has many pockets inside which keeps items organized. It's very lightweight to carry and just love this color

My sister recommended this bag to us several years ago, and it is the most used pack in the house. Light and holds a lot. Has been on every family and friend vacation, to the beach, on the bike. Friends ask to borrow it. Doubles as a purse on casual trips. Love it! You won't be disappointed!

I have the older version of the stowaway day pack, AND I LOVE IT!! The features are very simIlar. I think all that's changed is the shape of the chest and hip buckle, the width of those 2 smaller straps and the water bottle strap inside the bottle pocket. I've used mine on every day hike for years and it's got everything I need. The 1343 cubic inches is 22L. It's big enough for 2 water bottles on the outside, snacks, a SOL emergency bivy sack, a rain jacket in the outer "shove" pocket, a small zip pocket up top for keys/lipbalm/swiss army knife, a medium front zip that fits my toilet kit (zip lock bag with tissues, wipes, hand sanitizer), plastic grocery sack to carry out trash/waste, mini bug spray and sunscreen, and small dog bowl. Inside I carry a hat, Garmin Inreach and seasonal things like gloves and fleece. IT'S PERFECT!

My boys have been using these backpacks for 4 years and use them all time, they are in college. Perfect for hiking or light travel - Highly Recommend

I would give it five stars, except the fabric is a little bit crunchy and loud. I love the organization in such a small pack.

Love the backpack. Sturdy, yet flexible and holds up well. I own a couple of these. Used to have draw string side mesh pockets that secured items like sunglasses or keys, but still gave you easy access to them. Now they are just mesh with no way to secure items. Things keep falling out. Please bring back the drawstrings!

Great little backpack for a Rick Steves tour of Scotland

The chest straps do not hit the female chest in the right place. Super awkward and not flattering.

Ordered black L.L.Bean Stowaway Pack. Nice quality made lightweight day pack. Issue for petite female is chest buckle straps don't fall at appropriate location. Adjusted shoulder straps but still unable to completely resolve chest buckle strap issue. Will keep pack since purchased for light weight vacation travel and touring. Pack can accommodate a Camelbak. I use other heavier durable packs for AT hiking.

I was looking for a packable backpack that I could use as a smaller day pack so I got the Stowaway. I liked the size and the fabric and fit and color. The only real issue is that it was difficult to pack, I fought with it and with a bad wrist it wasn't fun. The Stowaway is a good deal and seems like it will last a lifetime.

I bought this pack about two years ago. I have used it a number of times to travel and to hike. The stitching inside the little pocket gave way and it is a bit of trouble to repair it.

I love the idea of this backpack. It is really lightweight. I ordered it online, but when it arrived, it was much smaller than I thought. I wish they made it in a bigger size. It would be great for traveling, but I feel like it just needs to be a little bit bigger.
