I'm pretty adverse to logos, which is what turned me off the HikePro bag. I ended up going for the Amazon packable 25L daypack. It's solid black and has a lot of the same features. Currently just over $10 too.
I meant to type "packable bookbag"
$15 on amazon :)
Amazon Essential Packable Daypack. I've had mine going on three years now. My favorite thing about it is no branding like the HikePro bags and pretty much all the other ones.
Your packing list lacks a water bottle. Save yourself a couple of euros per day, and fill up a water bottle at your accommodation with free, clean tap water (it's something we have in Europe, yes), and help the environment while you're at it.
> Also wondering about getting a compressible day pack for those jaunts around the city. Anyone have any cheap options for that?
AmazonBasic. Got a external mesh side-pocket for water bottle too.
We traveled for a year around Europe and used a day pack for all of our outings, including hikes and 10-15 mile a day walks when exploring a new the city. It was great for carrying our water, extra layers and a jacket, food/snacks, and our groceries when we went shopping. We this wrote a review in r/onebag:
We needed to find inexpensive, lightweight, and packable/collapsible daypacks. After some searching, we came across the Hikpro 20L. We purchased two them (one for each of us), and have been using them nearly every day for the last 18+ months. Furthermore, nearly every time we use them they’re loaded with 7-8lbs of stuff, and we carry that weight for 30-90 minutes at a time. Finally, even with all of that use, the bags have held up remarkably well and still look new!

Possible Hikpro 20L Alternatives
If you absolutely need your daypack to be waterproof, lightweight, and cost (about $50 USD) isn’t a concern the Matador Daylite16 Backpack might be a good alternative to the Hikpro 20L.
On the other hand, this inexpensive (~$17) bag from Mandarin-Gear might be ‘good enough’ at a fraction of the price.
