Osprey Ultralight 20L Dry Stuff Pack, Blue OS

We are definitely brand loyal when it comes to Osprey. After purchasing larger rolling bags for our dive gear, this 20L Dry Stuff Pack was the next perfect addition for our trips. It is lightweight, packs down small, and takes up very little space in the suitcase, which makes it great for travel. Once we are at our destination, it is comfortable to carry even when loaded up for the day. The Waterfront Blue color is also a nice bonus. This is a great pack for beach days, dive trips, excursions, or anytime you need a smaller bag that does not take up much room when packing. Highly recommend!

Yes indeed it is. I was looking for a lightweight, waterproof 15-20L pack for short bikepacking trips, and a daypack for all of life’s less exciting adventures. This checks all the boxes, including some that weren’t even on my list. It’s that cool. When it arrived I first had to test its alleged waterproofness, and I did with vigor! It really truly is waterproof even though it’s incredibly thin, lightweight and packable. Next it had to survive the rigors of being supportive while being stuffed to the max with overnight bikepacking gear whilst also maintaining a reasonable degree of comfort while wearing on a bike for several hours with 10+ pounds in it. I’m here to tell you, it did that too. I added a small foam insert that slid in the back to keep a modicum of rigidity under a poofy load which certainly aided in my success in this scenario. In regular day to day activities it excelled as well, from easy hikes/picnics with kids to daily stuff sack for extra layers on the go to grocery store shopping pack and more! I plan to use this as my Grand Canyon R2R2R overnight pack later this fall as well, I think this featherweight, Swiss Army knife of packs can pull off just about anything. Best gift ever for your outdoor enthusiast partner, friend etc. I’m not a paid sponsor of Osprey but am open to the idea of it….Osprey…are you reading this?? I’ve had their backing packs and hydration packs for years and this is by far the most exciting purchase from them to date. Cheers

Purchased this backpack for a trip to Iceland and I'm very happy with my purchase. Lightweight, durable, and packs up small! This backpack fits a lot. It has the typical dry pack closure that you roll down. Has two exterior side pockets that fit my water bottle perfectly and one front zip pocket. I'm only 5'3 so I was worried it would be too large for my shoulders but it worked out great and I was able to adjust the straps easily, depending on how full the pack was. The great thing with a soft pack is you can fit jackets, hats, gloves, extra socks and snacks, and it stays light! Easy to wipe clean and held up great on all our hikes, kayaking, and being thrown around.

The Osprey Ultralight 20L Dry Stuff Pack was incredibly useful while I was sightseeing. It’s amazingly lightweight and folds down into a small pouch, which made it easy to pack and carry until I needed it. Once unfolded, it has plenty of space for essentials like a water bottle, camera, snacks, and a light jacket. The straps are surprisingly comfortable for such a minimalist pack—no digging or slipping, even after hours of walking. The material feels durable, and the waterproof design gave me peace of mind when the weather turned unpredictable. Overall, it’s the perfect travel companion: compact, functional, and comfortable. I’m really glad I brought it along!

This is the first ultralight backpack I've ever bought, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I took it on a cruise as a day pack for excursions, and it is perfect for that. It folds/rolls up very small for packing in a suitcase, and it holds everything you need for a day out - water, hat, sunglasses, keys, raincoat. There is absolutely no inner structure, though, so don't carry a tablet or anything fragile. The shoulder straps are not padded, but they are wide and comfortable for what I was carrying. If closed as designed, it keeps the contents dry in wet conditions.

I really like this pack design. It's well thought out. This pack is a simple bucket style design common to all dry bags. The shoulder straps have a sternum strap to help with the weight and the buckle on that strap has a whistle embedded in it. The shoulder straps also have small loops to hang things from such as a water bottle using a carabiner. The bag has two cup holders with adjustable straps to secure your water bottle should you need it. There is a long zippered pocket on the outside that is not water proof but I think that pocket is there for things you might be using frequently and need a quick to reach pocket rather than water protection. Things like snacks, phone, small set of binoculars, or perhaps a poncho. The larger portion of the bag is water resistant, I have not tried immersing the bag but I have no doubts that it can weather a dunk in the lake. The problem is how long can it stay dry. When I looked at the interior seams they were all taped instead welded which makes me question the durability and performance of the bag over the long run. It works fine now but how long will it take for the tape to fail is anyone's guess. Although if this is an issue you can always reinforce the taped seams with other water proof tape. Another area that needs to be addressed is the thickness of the bag material. Osprey say it's made with 40 denier nylon, denier meaning thickness but the bag feels very thin, almost like umbrella type material. I hesitate to think what will happen if I take this bag out to the forest. It's a great hiking bag if you stick to the trail and don't plan on going off the reservation. In summary this bag is targeting an person who may be near a body of water or hiking in a humid environment. The pack is made to withstand daily wear and tear but I have doubts about how it will handle harsh brush. The pack design is superb with many features such as the strap loops, whistle and water bottle tensioning straps creating a well rounded product. I would suggest buying this if 1) weight is a premium to you 2) you are spending time near a pool or hiking in an area with unpredictable weather 3) You will not be going off the reservation and into the wilderness, sticking to hiking trails will help preserve this bag One more thing, here is a tip to prevent tearing the bag in case you are going to carry something sharp. Put a T-shirt to line the bottom of the bag or you can also put your sharp objects into a small stuff sack, this will dull the edge enough to prevent this backpack from being punctured.

Its pretty expensive so I expected perfection. The front shoulders clip isn't adjustable so if you you want the blood to run to your arms you have to give up your airflow cause the strap is on your neck. Except that it's a nice and practical backpack.

Used it as a day bag all over Switzerland for weeks with Swiss weather. Well compartmentalized, waterproof for short showers. Attractive and well constructed.

Appears to be well made and relatively strong. Be aware though that it looks very wrinkly and creased unless it’s fairly fully. The darker the colour the better it looks.

Ich liebe diesen Rucksack, er ist absolut wasserdicht, leicht, bietet verschiedene Fächer, hat eine tolle Farbe. Würde ich trotz des hohen Preises immer wieder kaufen!

Very basic bag, not worth the price

Very lightweight and useful as a day pack when you're out hiking or camping. Given how light and flimsy it is it's still quite robust and very comfortable to carry a few kilos of load. Waterproof. Used to great effect when day hiking mountains

Super Rucksack. Klein und leicht. Außerdem Wasser abweisend. Ein unverzichtbar Wegbegleiter
