So, is there a REAL backpack that can be folded away when not needed ???


There are some silnylon packs/drybags with padded straps etc that are available. They generally are very lightweight but not very durable and are somewhat overpriced. There are quiet a few packs available for the ultralighters from companies from;

Overall the packs require much more thought when packing and usually require using a sleeping pad to act as back padding to give the pack some shape and stability.
