Rank #9 in Best Hiking Backpacks 2026: 10 Ranked, and Only Two Match Their Litres
jianyana 50L Foldable Hiking Rucksack with Rain Cover
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The jianyana Hiking Backpack sits at number nine in this guide. It is a foldable polyester rucksack with a rain cover, seven pockets and a listed weight of 0.69 kg, sold at £31.99 with 4.3 out of 5 from 943 ratings. Where it gets interesting is in its own numbers: the headline capacity is 50 litres, and the same bullet gives the packed size as 62 x 30 x 15 cm. Multiply those three figures together and you get 27.9 litres — 44% below the figure in the product name.
A soft bag bulges when it is packed, so 27.9 litres is a floor rather than a ceiling, and a 50-litre rucksack can genuinely hold more than its measured box. But a 22-litre gap is a lot to explain with bulge alone, and it is not the only place this listing disagrees with itself: the length is printed as both 62 cm and 23.6 inches (which converts to 59.9 cm), and the materials are given three different ways across three fields. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it stands. We have not handled or tested the bag.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Really impressed with this hiking backpack. It has plenty of space thanks to the 50L capacity but is still lightweight and comfortable to carry. I like the multiple compartments for keeping things organised, and the rain cover is a great addition for unpredictable weather. The material feels durable and the foldable design makes it easy to store when not in use. Great backpack for hiking, camping, travelling and outdoor activities.”
Verified purchase“This bag is massive, like huge. Has a lot of compartments and the quality is superb. So excited, can't wait to take it on a holiday. With this bag, there will be no need for any other extra bags. Every single thing will fit into a compartment so you have less bags to deal with. Most importantly, it's hands free.”

Questions people ask
Is the jianyana Hiking Backpack really 50 litres?
The listing labels it 50 litres and repeats that as Storage Volume. The same listing gives the size as 62 x 30 x 15 cm, and multiplying those out gives 27.9 litres — 44% short of the 50-litre label.
What are the jianyana backpack's dimensions?
62 x 30 x 15 cm, printed in the listing as 23.6 x 11.8 x 5.9 inches. The two halves of that line do not agree: 23.6 inches converts to 59.9 cm, not the 62 cm printed beside it.
How heavy is the jianyana rucksack?
The listing states 0.69 kg and describes the pack as lightweight for its capacity.
Does the jianyana backpack come with a rain cover?
Yes. Rain Cover is listed as a special feature, and the listing describes a waterproof rain cover pouch on the bottom pouch, with the cover itself kept in a small upper pocket.
What do buyers say about the jianyana 50L backpack?
It averages 4.3 out of 5 from 943 ratings. The breakdown shown runs 68 five-star, 16 four-star, 7 three-star, 3 two-star and 6 one-star ratings, and reviewers regularly mention the number of compartments.
What is the jianyana backpack made of?
The listing gives three answers: polyester as the outer material, polyurethane as the material type, and 15% nylon / 85% polyester as the fabric type. It is described as tear-resistant and waterproof, and the care instructions say machine wash.
