Not a SD, but meet my needs. Also, it expands like a suitcase. Would be useful when traveling my car, but would make it too tall to fit under an airplane seat.
Edit: I also have a cheap copy from Amazon, in which the padding is ridiculously large and heavy. The OP bag is thin but seems strong, would have picked this up if I didn't already have one this size.
Community Reviews
This is a budget travel backpack that stands out for its Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC style layout and surprisingly solid build for the price. The coated polyester is described as light, waterproof, and durable, and the bag is said to feel squishy enough to fit under a seat or into some personal item sizers. The main drawbacks are the odd pocket layout, limited quick access from a plane seat, and a cup holder mesh that breaks down easily. It reads as a strong travel pick if you can live with the quirks.
Common Questions (5)
It appears to fit under some airline personal-item sizers, including Spirit's 18x14x8, and the bag is described as squishy enough to compress into a sizer. Some dimensions may still run over airline personal-item limits, so fit can depend on how fully it is packed.
The pocket layout is unusual, with only the top zipper pocket easy to reach from a plane seat and the other useful pockets placed on the side. That makes quick-grab access limited during flights, and the cup-holder mesh is also reported to break down easily.
The layout is described as odd for everyday carry, but it works well as a travel bag. It also expands like a suitcase, which makes it useful for car travel and packing, though that same expansion can make it too tall for some airplane-seat spaces.
It is described as a dupe or semi-clone of the Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC 30L and a strong budget alternative at around $30. The tradeoff is that it likely will not match the Patagonia's construction, warranty, or sustainable materials.
The coated polyester is described as waterproof, durable, and relatively light. The downside is that it can delaminate over time and may look ugly in humid environments.

Walmart's been doing quite a bit more dupe products lately with their in-house brands, a lot of the budget Ozark Trail stuff has been getting pretty solid in terms of quality so I'd guess this is probably a pretty great travel backpack for $30.

As a backpack dweeb I'll opine on this one:
Killer price, amazing price. You can't get anything like this for even double this price.
The coated polyester, the plasticy fabric of this bag, is a mixed blessing. It's waterproof and durable and relatively light but.. it delaminates and gets super ugly, especially in humid environments but you'll get a good amount of use out of it and even very high end bags are using similar fabrics because they're popular for the reasons I meantioned earlier.
The pockets are a bit odd on this. It would be perfect if you were traveling with a fanny pack too but the quick grab opportunities are pretty lacking.
Overall you can't go wrong for this orice
I couldn't find the dimensions for this, but if it's based on the MLC 30.
MLC30: 20" x 12" x 7"
American: 18" x 14" x8"
So there's sufficient place to squish it in a sizer.
I've had a fully packed Nebula fit the frontier sizer , and that one was 19 x12 x 11.
