Product Overview
The Nanobag Daypack is an ultralight, 16-liter foldable backpack designed for travelers, commuters, and outdoor enthusiasts who value practicality without bulk. Weighing just 1.15 oz (33 g), this packable daypack disappears into a pocket or clips to a keychain, making it ideal for spontaneous errands, day hikes, or as a backup bag during travel. Engineered from premium diamond ripstop nylon, it combines featherlight portability with surprising strength—capable of carrying up to 66 lbs. Whether you’re avoiding single-use plastics or need an extra bag on the go, the Nanobag delivers reliable performance in a design that truly vanishes when not in use.
Key Features
- Ultralight & Ultra-Compact: At only 1.15 oz, the Nanobag Daypack folds down smaller than a deck of cards. Its dense, air-pocket-free compression lets it slip into pockets, purses, or luggage with zero hassle—perfect for travelers who pack light.
- Effortless Folding Design: Unlike traditional foldable bags that require precise origami-like folding, this backpack uses soft, pliable diamond ripstop nylon that naturally collapses into a tiny bundle. Just stuff it in—no technique needed.
- Exceptional Durability: Despite its paper-thin 0.05mm profile, the fabric resists tears and punctures thanks to a high-strength weave and reinforced bar tack stitching at stress points. It’s built to handle heavy loads, from grocery runs to hiking gear.
- Comfortable All-Day Wear: Wide, padded straps distribute weight evenly, reducing shoulder strain during extended use. The 16L capacity provides ample space for daily essentials without feeling bulky.
- Reliable Zipper Operation: Equipped with a YKK zipper, the main compartment opens and closes smoothly, ensuring secure access to your belongings and long-term reliability.

Benefits & Use Cases
The Nanobag Daypack excels in real-world scenarios where convenience and preparedness matter. Use it as a daily commuter bag for work essentials, a lightweight hiking companion for snacks and layers, or a spontaneous grocery tote that replaces disposable plastic bags. Its compact size makes it ideal for travelers who want a backup bag for souvenirs or laundry without adding weight to their luggage. The durable construction handles heavy loads—think farmers’ market hauls or weekend trip overflow—while the comfortable straps support all-day wear. Because it folds so small, it’s also perfect for cyclists, runners, or urban explorers who need a bag that’s always on hand but never in the way.
Important Notes
While the Nanobag Daypack is built for durability, it should be stored dry and clean to maintain fabric integrity over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to sharp objects or abrasive surfaces that could compromise the ultralight material. The bag is designed for everyday use and light outdoor activity but is not intended for technical mountaineering or heavy-duty industrial applications. Always ensure the YKK zipper is fully closed when carrying heavy items to prevent accidental spills.
From the brand
The Origin
Nanobag was born from the idea of making carrying essentials effortless, practical, and enjoyable.
Driven by shared inspiration, Ursus Negenborn and Rune Kippervik set out to redefine reusable bags. Frustrated by the scarcity of sustainable choices, they aimed to engineer the world’s most practical option.
Their breakthrough was a premium, ultralight diamond ripstop nylon — a material whose remarkable strength-to-weight ratio and compact-folding ability became the design’s cornerstone.
There’s a Nanobag for you.
Unmatched Portability: The Nanobag packs down incredibly small — easy to carry in your pocket or clip to your keychain so you’re always ready to skip the plastic.
Designed to Disappear: No folding tricks needed. Our soft, ultralight ripstop fabric naturally eliminates air pockets, folding into a tiny bundle with barely any effort or bulk.
Super Tough & Reliable: Much stronger than you think — just 0.05mm thin yet still able to carry up to 66 lbs thanks to the unique fabric and reinforced stitching at key stress points.
