Super lightweight. Folds into the internal pocket for easy carrying. Backpack straps are padded. They unhook from the bottom of the bag and slip into a side pocket if you want to use it just as a tote (See last two photos: One with backpack straps out and the next with the straps tucked in.) I've had this for a number of years, but it looks pretty similar to the current version. Freshly washed. From a smoke-free, pet-free, perfume-free home. Good used condition.
