Eddie Bauer Stowaway Packable Backpack 20L — Black Cherry, Ultralight Weather-Resistant Daypack

The Eddie Bauer Stowaway Packable Backpack in Black Cherry is a 20L, ultralight, weather-resistant daypack that packs into its own pocket for effortless travel and everyday carry.

This compact backpack combines durability, comfort, and weather protection in a design meant for people who need reliable storage without bulk. Crafted from ripstop polyester with a StormRepel WR finish, the pack sheds light rain while weighing only 0.6 lbs and folding down into an 8.5" x 7" x 1.5" pocket. Its 20-liter capacity fits daily essentials, quick weekend needs, or an extra carry-on for travel, and the extended shoulder straps plus a hip belt add comfort on longer carries.

How does the packable design make travel easier?

Because the backpack folds into its own small pocket, it stays out of the way until you need it, freeing up luggage space and avoiding extra checked bags. The compact folded size fits into suitcases, larger daypacks, or glove compartments for on-demand use.

• Packs into an integrated 8.5" x 7" x 1.5" pocket for compact storage
• Lightweight 0.6 lb construction keeps baggage weight low
• Quick deploy and stow for day trips or unexpected errands

Will this backpack protect my items in wet weather?

The Stowaway’s ripstop polyester fabric is treated with Eddie Bauer’s StormRepel WR finish to resist light rain and moisture. While not fully waterproof, the fabric helps keep everyday items dry during sudden showers and damp conditions.

• StormRepel WR exterior sheds water and light drizzle
• Ripstop weave adds tear resistance for rough handling
• Best for short exposures; use a dry bag for prolonged downpours

How comfortable is the pack for all-day use?

Comfort features include extended shoulder straps and a hip belt that take pressure off your shoulders, making the pack suitable for walking tours, light hikes, and daily commuting. The lightweight frame and ergonomic fit reduce fatigue so you can carry essentials longer without strain.

• Extended shoulder straps distribute load across the torso
• Hip belt adds stability and reduces shoulder pressure
• Minimal weight (0.6 lb) prevents unnecessary strain on longer outings

What fits inside a 20L Eddie Bauer Stowaway?

• Fits a 1L water bottle, compact towel, or light layer
• Room for camera, snacks, and a small tablet or paperback
