Sure, there are cheaper options for the small BT speaker but my suggestion, for a little more money you get: waterproof, 12+ hr charge, USB-C, and a strong carabiner from a top name brand. Personally, it could be half the price and if it is micro-USB...
I've been really happy with the CORE brand (we own a tent and other things) - reasonably priced, durable so far, and good color options.
CORE: CLIMAKEEP Magnetic 24 Can Backpack Soft Cooler
The lowlands small is back! Waterproof, built like a tank, repels dirt and pet hair, machine wachable…it's basically the best all-terrain blanket out there, and now in a smaller size.

I've ditched the single sleeping bag because usually one of the kids ends up next to me but I might get this to try out. Again, CORE comes out with a reasonably priced solution

We recently added these at the cabin and liked that they were weather-proof, folding, lots of color options, and reasonably priced.
We got this for our oldest (10 yo) because she was always helping carry water bottles or had her own. She uses it so much that my wife bought one too.

This bag now comes in 20L as well as 24L and while it's not packable, there's something about 20L being close to perfect for a daypack, not too small but no trying to be one-bag travel or fit every single textbook you have for your course load.

hoping my boys never see these in real life lol
