When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Netflix's Tudum 2025 event kicked off tonight, May 31 at 8pm Eastern Time (5pm Pacific), streaming live worldwide from a sold-out IRL event at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. And with it came exclusive sneak peaks and starry cast appearances from some of the streaming service's most anticipated titles. We're talking beloved returning series like "Squid Game", "Wednesday" and the final installment of "Stranger Things", as well as high-profile films like Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein", the "Happy Gilmore" sequel and "Wake Up Dead Man", the latest entry into the "Knives Out" universe. As has become tradition at the annual Tudum event, fans got fresh intel like release dates, new trailers, first looks and the latest news on those Netflix properties—along with plenty of surprises, too. (Two words: Lady Gaga!] Tom's Guide chronicled all of the action so you didn't miss a thing — before, during and after the Tudum live event. Check out all of the latest news on your favorite Netflix shows, movies and more. Given that Tudum 2025 is Netflix's biggest live event of the year, the organizers are unsurprisingly pulling out the big names for tonight's fandom fest. Here are a full list of the series and films participating in Tudum 2025: Movies: Frankenstein Happy Gilmore 2 My Oxford Year The Life List The RIP Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery Series: America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (Season 2) Emily in Paris (Season 5) Forever (Season 1) Ginny & Georgia (Season 3) Love is Blind My Life with the Walter Boys (Season 2) Nobody Wants This (Season 2) ONE PIECE (Season 2) Outer Banks (Season 5) Squid Game (Season 3) Stranger Things (Season 5) Wednesday (Season 2) WWE And as well as major updates and exciting reveals from Netflix's biggest franchises, the global fandom event will include high-energy live performances, with musical headliner Lady Gaga (who has been confirmed to star in the second season of 'Wednesday') and Indian hip-hop sensation Hanumankind taking the stage. The whole proceedings will be hosted by actress Sofia Carson, known to Netflix fans for her roles in "Purple Hearts" and "The Life List". For fans of 'Stranger Things', Tudum 2025 is going to be a must-see event — with the Duffer Brothers' sci-fi juggernaut set to premiere its fifth and final season this year, there's certainly going to be plenty to talk about where the Upside Down is concerned. And given that longtime fans of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Will (Noah Schnapps) and the rest of the Hawkins crew still don't have an official release date for the new episodes — nor trailers and clips teasing what's to come in the series' last chapter — excitement is high to see what updates the creators and cast member unveil during tonight's live event. Speaking of updates, a viral audio clip linked to 'Stranger Things' season 5 dropped on May 30 ahead of Netflix's Tudum event, a grainy mix of loud bangs, radio status, muffled voices and other disturbing noises that has generated much speculation among fans about the significance of the eerie sounds therein. Is the cryptic 30-second clip connected to Vecna, the murderous big bad portrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower and formerly known as Henry Creel? 'Stranger Things' fans will likely get insights into what that creepy new audio clip is all about during tonight's fandom event, as well as other titillating tidbits that will hopefully hold them over until the fifth and final season of the horror hit premieres on Netflix later this year. Check back here to find out all the latest 'Stranger Things' news coming out of the Tudum 2025 event! Calling all outcasts! 'Wednesday' will return for another season of supernatural adventures this summer in a two-part premiere, with four episodes debuting on August 6 and another four to follow on September 3. Fans of the spooky mystery-comedy — which stars Jenna Ortega as the titular Addams girl — have also already gotten to see a teaser trailer of what's to come for Wednesday, roommate Enid (Emma Myers), frenemy Bianca (Joy Sunday) and the rest of the Nevermore Academy gang. And we already know that there will be several fresh faces joining the main cast this season, including Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah B. Taylor. And yes, pop icon Lady Gaga is also set to cameo in season 2, though specific details about Mother Monster's role are still under wraps. So, what can we hope for 'Wednesday'-wise from the Tudum 2025 event? Potentially, a new full-length trailer, exciting plot points, behind-the-scenes details, insights on how filming season 2 differed from its predecessor and plenty more gloomy goodness. Stay tuned! Fans of Rian Johnson's 'Knives Out' film franchise (which includes 2019's 'Knives Out' and its 2022 sequel 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery') have been waiting with bated breath for a deeper look into the upcoming third title of the murder-mystery movie series, especially after that deliberately vague teaser dropped earlier this week. The mysterious new clip for 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' — which will see Daniel Craig reprise the role of investigator Benoit Blanc, joined by a splashy ensemble that includes Josh O'Connor, Josh Brolin, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Cailee Spaeny and Kerry Washington — opens on a gloomy church, with bells ringing louder and louder until the screen cuts to black. The caption reads: 'The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers, but the root of the righteous endures.' It's not a whole lot to go off on, but we'll surely get more extensive reveals during tonight's Tudum event. Maybe the mystery of exactly when fans can watch 'Wake Up Dead Man' on Netflix will get solved! Season five of 'Emily in Paris' sees a lot of change ahead for our titular heroine: Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) is switching up her hometown (benvenuti a Roma!), her hot beau (she's now dating Italian cashmere heir Marcello Muratori, played by Eugenio Franceschini) and even her haircut in the fifth installment of the (usually) French-set romantic comedy series. Plus, joining returning favorites like Mindy (Ashley Park), Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), we'll also have some new character to meet in season 5, including Oscar-nominated actress Minnie Driver as Princess Jane, a friend of Sylvie's who married into a royal family. However, 'Emily in Paris' fans are still missing key points of intel regarding the upcoming fifth season, including the official release date, a full-length trailer and some fun Italian production stills. Here's hoping there's plenty of la dolce vita to go around during the 'Emily in Paris' segment of Netflix Tudum 2025. Get ready for more hilarious hijinks on the golf green — "Happy Gilmore" is back in a soon-to-come sequel, which is scheduled to hit Netflix on July 25, 2025. Along with a set release date, fans of the original sports comedy (which sees Adam Sandler play a titular hockey player-turned-competitive golfer) also already got to see a full-length teaser trailer for 'Happy Gilmore 2', which will have Sandler reunite on screen with several O.G. cast members, including Julie Bowen as Happy's longtime love Virginia Venit and Christopher McDonald as his golf nemesis Shooter McGavin. Those familiar faces will be joined by franchise newcomers including Bad Bunny, Ben Stiller, Travis Kelce and Sandler's own daughters Sadie and Sunny, along with IRL professional golfers like Jordan Spieth and Jack Nicklaus. Given how much of a fan-favorite the 1996 comedy is, we're sure that some special insights about the long-awaited sequel film will tee off tonight during the live Netflix event. It's been a good time as of late to be a 'Squid Game' fan — there's been a lot of news dropping recently ahead of the third and, sadly, final season of the South Korean dystopian hit. For one, we know that the new episodes will premiere on Netflix on Friday, June 27, and that season 3 will have six episodes in total, down one from its previous installment. 'Squid Game' fans also got an official teaser of the new season earlier this month, picking up in the aftermath of season 2's bloody cliffhanger: What challenges will Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and Co. face in their struggles to shut down the torturous games for once and for all? Netflix subscribers will likely get to hear even more chilling revelations about exactly how brutal this final chapter of the story will be during the soon-to-start Tudum event. Netflix Tudum 2025 is kicking off at 8pm Eastern Time, which means this is your last call for bathroom breaks, snack runs, dog walks and the like. There's a lot to come from the streamer this evening, so sit back and get comfortable — Tom's Guide is here to, well, guide you through all of the Netflix news as it happens live. Let's get into it! Our big show opening sees host Sofia Carson parody her recent Netflix hit "The Life List", as she ticks off several bucket-list activities like dancing "like Nicole Kidman is watching" and saving the world from an explosive suitcase à la Taron Egerton in "Carry-On". However, her on-screen mom Connie Briton reminds her that she still has one item left on her list: "Fly!" Thus, Carson does her best "Mission Impossible" and descends from the ceiling of the Tudum 2025 ceremonies dressed in a tuxedo. "Tonight is for you, because this is the place where the biggest stars on Netflix get to connect with you!" our host announces to the excited studio audience, citing A-listers like Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jenna Ortega, Lady Gaga and more among the evening's high-profile attendees. Let the show officially begin! After Hanumankind performed alongside the show's signature pink guards, the cast of "Squid Game" (led by Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun) took to the stage to tease the upcoming final installment of the South Korean sensation. "This huge reaction is so amazing, we're so happy to see all of you in one place," Byung-hun announced. And though Lee Jung-jae, who plays Player 456 in the series, nearly slipped up with a spoiler ("I'm not saying anything else!"), the actors did give some fresh details, including a brand-new trailer that looks like Gi-hun will be put through the ringer in the new episodes. "Why didn't you kill me? Why did you keep me alive?" we see him roaring to guards. Along with flashes of bloody corpses, jump rope games and murderous dolls, the trailer spotlights a final showdown between Gi-hun and Front Man, with the former bloodied and dressed in a tuxedo. Check out the new clip below! "I love a good surprise," director Rian Johnson takes the stage to begin the "Wake Up Dead Man" segment. "We strive to keep the audience guessing, so just when you think you have it figured it, something comes along that you weren't expecting". Enter Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Cailee Spaeny, a T-shirt gun-wielding Kerry Washington, a double T-shirt gun-wielding Jeremy Renner and seven-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close, who calls in from her car to tell everyone that she's actually "eight-time Academy Award nominee Glenn Close". But that's not all: "Daniel Craig was supposed to be doing these lines and he couldn't be here," Johnson announces, before the man himself comes out to announce an exclusive sneak peek of the movie. In the new teaser, we see Craig and Josh O'Conner in a church, with Mila Kunis as law enforcement investigation a crime. "This is the holy grail," Craig's Benoit declares. "This was dressed as a miracle It's just a murder And I solve murders". We'll see how it all plays out when "Wake Up Dead Man" premieres on Netflix on December 12, 2025! Netflix Tudum 2025 is the first time the event is being held in the United States (taking place in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum) and streamed live on Netflix. And to celebrate, the streamer brought out the stars of some of its biggest and most beloved titles, including "Ginny & Georgia", "Outer Banks", "Forever" and "My Life with the Walter Boys". Led by lead Pogue Chase Stokes, the actors all came together sweetly for a "class photo" to commemorate the momentous occasion. "One Piece" fans got a sweet look back at adventures past during the Netflix Tudum 2025 event, as well as exciting peeks on all of the "big" things to expect next. And that includes an adorable introduction to Tony Tony Chopper, who will be voiced in the new season by Mikaela Hoover. "The biggest thing we get to tell you: you know what's up, the crew gets a little bigger this season", actor Iñaki Godoy teased to the screaming audience "And we get to introduce you to him right now. The reindeer you always wanted: Tony Tony Chopper." After a cookie-filled cameo from The Cookie Monster, big-screen best buddies Ben Affleck and Matt Damon rose from the Netflix "N" to crowd cheers and lots of iPhone-camera flashing to introduce their new crime drama "The Rip", which if coming to the streamer on January 16, 2027. Joined by fellow "The Rip" castmates Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor and Catalina Sandino Moreno, the actors explain that a "rip" is something you pull from a crime scene. In the film's case, it's cash, and a lot of it. And speaking of ripping, the famous buds hilariously ripped into each other during the presentation of a never-before-seen clip of the upcoming film (alas, Netflix hasn't published the video online), which channels some of their favorite movies, including "Heat" and "Training Day". "Ben would turn on all of these guys for a cookie," Matt quipped, with Affleck biting back about his bushy-bearded pal: "I trusted Matt would shave the beard before Tudum but here we are!" If there's anyone we trust to bring an excellently spooky "Frankenstein" adaptation to the big screen, it's Guillermo del Toro! With her fifth movie set for Netflix, we're officially entering the "Sarah Carson Universe" — the Netflix Tudum 2025 host will next be seen in the romantic title "My Oxford Year" for the streamer. And keeping with the tradition of having a hunky co-star (Carson cutely name-dropped Taron, Nicholas, Wolfgang and Kyle), the actress announced that she will be joined by "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story" heartthrob Corey Mylchreest, who showed up alongside Carson onstage to announce that "My Oxford Year" will hit Netflix on August 1, 2025. As anticipated, a fresh full-length trailer for the long-awaited "Happy Gilmore" sequel is officially here, announced by original cast mates Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald during tonight's Tudum showcase. In case you want to immediately feel old, "Stranger Things" actors Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp and Caleb McLaughlin took to the Tudum stage to share some adorable behind-the-scenes clips from the sci-fi hit's early days. (If you need an IRL marker of how much time has gone by since the first season, lead actress Millie Bobby Brown is an actual married woman at this point.) Gaten Matarazzo, who couldn't be there live at the Tudum event, videoed in to share this one of his favorite on-set memories was filming the graveyard "Dear Billy" scene. Brown also videoed in from "the void" (i.e. the set of "Enola Holmes") to reveal that her own personal fave was the scene where Eleven mind-controls the helicopter in that heart-racing scene in season 4. The final season of "Stranger Things" will be a big one: a three-parter, in fact. Along with a high-octane new teaser, the show's Netflix Tudum 2025 segment revealed the release dates of each installment of the final season: Volume one will drop on November 26 at 5pm PT, volume two on December 25 at 5pm PT and volume three on December 31 at 5pm PT. Consider your holiday plans set! "It's been an eventful summer," Jenna Ortega's character Wednesday Addams announces in the first six minutes of "Wednesday" season 2, which Ortega and the rest of the cast debuted during this evening's Tudum showcase. Proving that the show hasn't lost a drop of its dark humor, the goth teen quickly adds: "I'm tied up in a serial killer's basement." And it looks like that serial killer will be played by none other than "The Sixth Sense" great Haley Joel Osment. Misery loves company, so gather your moodiest pals in excitement for the upcoming season, scheduled to hit Netflix in two parts on August 6 and September 3, respectively. We think you'll enjoy the experience way more than Wednesday enjoys going through airport security lines! The "Wednesday" cast shared the audience's clear excitement about welcoming a very special guest to both the series and the stage: the one and only Lady Gaga, who pulled out her gothic best during a medley of her songs "Zombieboy", "Bloody Mary" and "Abracadabra", along with The Cramp's "Goo Goo Muck" and, of course, "The Addams Family" theme song. Because, honestly, how could you possibly follow up a performance like that?! Stay tuned, though, for further insights on everything that went down tonight during the Netflix Tudum 2025 live event. Sure, we got a quick, silly clip of star Lily Collins (with her pre-season 5 longer locks, mind you) acting as our beloved marketing maven, humorously pitching a new promo campaign for "Stranger Things". But other than that, Netflix Tudum 2025 saw no major updates or announcements regarding "Emily in Paris" season 5. Sacré bleu! Aside from that spirited cameo by "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton story" actor Corey Mylchreest, Netflix Tudum 2025 didn't offer much from the "Bridgerton" Cinematic Universe either. However, fans of the Ton can't be too pressed, as we did recently get a fresh teaser trailer for "Bridgerton' season 4" during Netflix's 2025 upfronts earlier this month. 1. "Stranger Things" three-part releaseThe fifth and final season will debut in three volumes, the first on November 26, the second on Christmas Day and the third on New Year's Eve. 2. The official trailer for "Squid Game" season 3Fans of the South Korean series got a sneak peek on all of the bloody action to come in the show's final chapter. 3.

And Ben Affleck and Matt Damon gave a first look at their crime thriller "The Rip"Alas, for now, the clip of the new drama was exclusive to Netflix Tudum 2025 viewers only, and has not yet been made available online. However, Tom's Guide will keep you posted if and when the sneak peek of the January 2026 title hits the internet! While "Nobody Wants This" wasn't part of this year's Tudum event, some exciting news emerged about the second season of the romantic comedy just a day later. At a Netflix For Your Consideration event, the cast revealed that "Nobody Wants This" season will premiere on Thursday, October 23, 2025.

Itoje to lead Lions for first time against Argentina
The Saracens second row leads a starting side in the non-cap international that features fellow England international Marcus Smith at full-back with the Red Rose pair of Alex Mitchell and Fin Smith the half-backs. Ireland's Tadhg Furlong will have the chance to prove his fitness after struggling with a calf injury that ruled him out of Leinster's United Rugby Championship final victory over the Bulls. Furlong is included on a bench that also features Ireland hooker Ronan Kelleher. "Congratulations to Maro Itoje ahead of leading out the Lions for the first time. It's a truly special moment and one that very few players ever get to experience," said head coach Andy Farrell. "Maro has led the group well during our time in Portugal and then Dublin this week. This is also our first opportunity to show what the 2025 Lions are about and what we want to stand for as a team." A strong Argentina team will be captained by hooker Julian Montoya, six days after the hooker featured in the Leicester side that lost the English Premiership final to Bath. Santiago Carreras is at full-back with Tomas Albornoz at fly-half, while Saracens flanker Juan Martin Gonzalez is in a back row also featuring the experienced Pablo Matera. "We know all their players and we expect them to be playing hard," said Argentina coach Felipe Contepomi, whose side are ranked fifth in the world. "They miss some cohesion or maybe not because they are such top players they can click in one moment." The 30-year-old Itoje, previously appointed as Lions captain for the upcoming three-Test tour of Australia, skippered England to second place in this year's Six Nations. The Lions, made up of leading players from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, play their first Test in Australia on July 19 at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium. Teams (15-1) British and Irish Lions: Marcus Smith (ENG); Tommy Freeman (ENG), Sione Tuipulotu (SCO), Bundee Aki (IRL), Duhan van der Merwe (SCO); Fin Smith (ENG), Alex Mitchell (ENG); Ben Earl (ENG), Jac Morgan (WAL), Tom Curry (ENG); Tadhg Beirne (IRL), Maro Itoje (ENG, capt); Finlay Bealham (IRL), Luke Cowan-Dickie (ENG), Ellis Genge (ENG) Replacements: Ronan Kelleher (IRL), Pierre Schoeman (SCO), Tadhg Furlong (IRL), Scott Cummings (SCO), Henry Pollock (ENG), Tomos Williams (WAL), Elliot Daly (ENG), Mack Hansen (IRL) Coach: Andy Farrell (ENG) Argentina: Santiago Carreras; Rodrigo Isgro, Lucio Cinti, Justo Piccardo, Ignacio Mendy; Tomas Albornoz, Gonzalo Garcia; Joaquin Oviedo, Juan Martin Gonzalez, Pablo Matera; Pedro Rubiolo, Franco Molina; Joel Sclavi, Julian Montoya (capt), Mayco Vivas © 2025 AFP

You can shop ASOS IRL at the brand's first-ever U.S. pop-up this week in NYC
Want to give your wardrobe a summery boost? You can do what you usually do and give the "New In" section of ASOS a quick digital browse— or you can shop that beloved British retailer IRL at the brand's first-ever U.S. pop-up store, which has taken over Soho 's 120 Wooster Street through Sunday, June 22. 'Bringing its trend-forward aesthetic to SoHo, NYC, one of the city's most iconic neighbourhoods for style and culture," per the brand, the immersive two-story pop-up shop features a curated edit of spring/summer 2025 styles across women's and men's clothing, accessories, and shoes, spanning exclusive drops, seasonal pieces and e-commerce collections. Shoppers are able to peruse both ASOS-owned and partner brands, including Arrange, ASOS's "premium, craft-focused label designed in London by a women-led team (and yes, that does mean dresses with pockets)" that launched this past March. And as with the usual ASOS digital experience, the sartorial stock at the pop-up boutique is separated into themed sections (think "Euro Summer" and "Party Vibes"), with items priced between ten bucks and $300. Can't find your size or favorite color in store? Given that ASOS is first and foremost an "e-tailer," customers will be able to scan the QR code on any given item, which will then take them to the product's specific purchase URL on the ASOS website. The UK-based fashion giant, which boasts 20 million active customers in over 200 markets worldwide, debuted its first pop-up store in London in November 2023. And if all goes well in New York, the retailer will continue to expand its physical presence stateside with even more planned activations throughout the U.S. "Right now, this is a test-and-learn moment," Sean Trend, ASOS' Managing Director, told Forbes. "We're focused on making this first activation a success and exploring how we might bring similar experiences to other U.S. cities. While permanent retail isn't the immediate plan, if the response is strong, we would love to take the concept to other cities, and we may even invite our customers to help decide where we go next."

Why Everyone Is Shopping on Livestream Right Now
In January, writer Liana Satenstein hosted an informal runway show in her living room. As friends-cum-models paraded through the narrow space, she announced each piece over the din of the well-heeled crowd. But to be in the room where it happened, you didn't have to score an IRL invite. You just had to tune in to the live selling-and-buying platform Whatnot. Shopping, for as long as it has existed, has been about more than just the practical act of purchasing goods. It's a chance to socialize, to indulge, to play. And now that e-commerce has become old hat, there's a desire to bring some real-life excitement to the online experience. Enter the livestream. Satenstein, who hosts a series of closet cleanouts she calls 'Neverworns,' started with in-person sales, but kept receiving messages when she'd post teasers online. 'What am I supposed to do? You have to either be here or too bad,' she thought at the time. Livestreaming became a way to bridge the gap—shoppers could get the full Neverworns experience, including a chance to purchase, from the comfort of their own homes. If boomers had QVC, livestreams are shoppertainment for the Twitch generation. 'Gen Z, and the up-and-coming Gen Alpha, sees social media as an entertainment platform just as much as traditional TV,' says Rebecca Rom-Frank, a marketing strategist for the trend forecaster WGSN. 'With the rise of video platforms, it makes sense that livestream shopping would follow.' Satenstein drew inspiration from QVC clips on YouTube and a 1989 interview with Donna Karan on a talk show called Attitudes. 'There's context, layers, history—and [Karan] has a model walk out in the clothes showing how something fits.' Since its founding in 2019, Whatnot has become a buzzy name in the live shopping space. In January, the platform announced that it had raised $265 million in new funding. According to Whatnot, viewers spend an average of over 80 minutes per day watching its content, more time than they spend on Instagram or TikTok. While they buy about 12 items per week, there are also plenty of users who are tuning in just to chat or listen, no purchase necessary. 'I hear time and time again that it feels like a TV show, where each week there's a new episode,' says Nica Yusay, who sells luxury handbags on the account FashioNica. Despite the convenience of a one-click checkout, there's a loss of community spaces. Shopping has become a solo sport, but livestreams can bridge the gap. Customers can get involved, connecting with like-minded shoppers—and the seller on the other side of the lens—without leaving the couch. Watchers ask questions on the fly, and sellers do their best to keep up, offering banter, backstory, and even try-ons in front of their audience. 'People ask me how many unitards I own at this point,' says Nina Chong-Jimenez, a Whatnot seller whose account, Lockitin, has made nearly 68,000 sales. 'At any given moment, I'm stripping down to put anything on that I can. It's important for you to see how a piece is going to fall on a person.' It's an added layer of transparency that's often lacking in apps or large online marketplaces: You can see the person behind the post, and get real-time info on the piece for sale, all while chatting with friends. With higher sale conversion rates than conventional e-commerce and a growing market share, livestreaming seems poised to keep winning new fans. For now, buyers and sellers are still figuring things out. 'There's no rhyme or reason,' Satenstein says of how much she ends up selling in a livestream. 'But I'm having a good time.'

Promising review: "I purchased this for a trip to Cuba where I needed to carry all of the money I needed for that week in cash. Although I am not typically worried/normally cautious when traveling, the idea of carrying that much cash on me made me nervous. Traditional money belts/fanny packs just didn't seem like a fit for me. I was worried they would become uncomfortable in the hot sun. This security belt was perfect. It allowed us to carry most of they money for the trip hidden within the belt and carry in my purse on the money I needed for that day. It also worked like a breeze with no issues getting through security.

Promising review: "I bought the World Map bag to replace putting my laundry in grocery store plastic bags, and it serves its purpose quite well. It looks nice and folds easily into a small pouch (about 5x5 when folded). The material is light, but I don't hesitate to stuff the sack full of clothing to compress it down in my luggage with straps. The construction of the bag could have been better as there were some loose strings that I had to fix and I wouldn't hold it by its drawstrings when fully loaded (anything over 6 lbs)." —ChrisGet it from Amazon for $11.50.
