00:00Okay, so I have a confession, I've been hauling a giant, heavy backpack to the gym for years,
00:04and my shoulders finally staged a protest. So I went down a rabbit hole hunting for the lightest,
00:10cheapest, actually good daily sports backpacks out there, and honestly,
00:14some of these weigh less than my water bottle. These are my top 5 ultralight backpacks for
00:19daily sports, and I found the best deals on every single one, so stick around.
00:24First up is this ultralight folding backpack, and the party trick here is that it folds down
00:28into a pouch small enough to stuff in your jacket pocket. It's water-resistant, it's got
00:34surprisingly high volume once it's open, and it just lives in my car for those, oh,
00:38I need a bag right now, moments. Over 4,900 people have bought it,
00:43it's sitting at a 4.6 rating, and it costs $6.75. That's less than a coffee and a muffin.
00:51If you travel at all, grab it as a packable second bag, you'll use it way more than you think.
00:56Next is this women's Oxford cloth drawstring bag, and this one has the highest rating of
01:01the whole lineup at a 4.9. What sold me is the material, it's not that flimsy,
01:07tear if you look at it nylon. It's proper Oxford cloth with a solid drawstring,
01:11so you can throw shoes, a towel, a change of clothes in there and it just holds shape.
01:16Big capacity, super light, great for hiking or a casual day out.
01:22$6.66. Nearly 5,000 sold. Honestly, at that price I'd buy two in different colors.
01:30Now if you're a runner, pay attention, because this 5L breathable hydration vest is a completely
01:36different animal. Instead of bouncing around on your back, it hugs your torso like a vest,
01:41so you get basically zero movement while you run. 5 liters is plenty for a phone, gels, keys,
01:47and soft flasks, and the mesh keeps your back from turning into a swamp.
01:52It's $10.65 with a 4.5 rating and almost $4,800 sold.
01:57For marathon training or long cycling days, this is the upgrade that actually changes how a run feels.
02:04If you want to step it up a level, the new bowler hydration vest is the one I'd personally reach
02:09for.
02:10It's got that 4.9 rating, and you can feel why, the strap adjustment is more precise,
02:14the pockets are better placed, and the breathable fabric is noticeably nicer against your skin
02:19over long distances. Trail running, jogging, climbing, riding, it handles all of it without
02:25chafing. It's $14.10, which is the most expensive thing on this list, and it's still under 15 bucks.
02:33That's incredible value for something you'll wear for hours.
02:37And rounding it out, this lightweight drawstring backpack for men and women.
02:41The reason it made the cut over a dozen others is one small detail,
02:45it's got a zipper pocket on top of the drawstring closure.
02:48So your phone, wallet, and keys have their own secure home instead of rattling around at the
02:53bottom with your sweaty gym shoes. Simple, clean, unisex look, and it's $7.35 with a 4.7 rating.
03:02This is the perfect everyday gym and leisure bag, the one you don't have to baby.
03:07All 5 links are down in the description, and I've lined up the best current deals I could find,
03:11so definitely check the prices before they change.
