It won’t be long before parking lots would be futile, since everybody else would have foldable cars like the Jetsons. But while that age and technology hasn’t arrived, we’d better take advantage of collapsible items that are no less innovative. For P499 instead of P1100, you can have a waterproof foldaway backpack.

Jetsetters, students and employees alike know full well that it wouldn’t hurt to always bring an extra sack with them. Stressing over where to place their belongings on the return trip is the last thing they want to be dealing with when they’re already preoccupied with deadlines, bills or whatnot.

This waterproof and durable backpack that folds into an ultra-compact pouch which can be easily stored in a closet or luggage. Measuring 12.5” by 16” by 5” when fully stretched, it includes: a zippered main compartment for big items like shoes, textbooks, or clothes; an inner zippered slot for gadgets or other small valuables; and an external front pocket that doubles as the pack-in stuff pocket. Aside from its convenient size, it is also comfortable to carry, thanks to its sturdy, cotton shoulder straps.

The bag comes in six colors, sporting either one of two designs: a punk-inspired fatigue theme and a charming sneakers pattern. Own a backup backpack and be a contemporary boy/girl scout with today’s Metrodeal.
