Osprey Ultralight 20L Dry Stuff Pack, Waterfront Blue

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!

First of all, this is a small pack that is designed to be lightweight and packs into itself. It’s not intended to be the height of durability, though the fabric holds up well. Good zipper quality and function. Comfortable to wear if you don’t weigh it down too heavily. Several compartments, but as a small pack, don’t expect a full pack’s worth of versatility. It’s not padded extremely because again, its purpose is to be packed into itself and remain compact until you need it. Excellent choice for emergency essentials for a day hike. Very well made for what it’s intended to be. Good price for what you get, too.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

love it lots! super packable so when i went for a 3 week trip through europe, i tossed it in the luggage with little weight or size penalty. I used this as a day pack instead of my regular pacsafe which I use on the plane when i need to lug the tablets etc. it's light and waterproof so its just right for keeping your extra heavy stuff like your powerbank, umbrellas and snacks which wont fit in your pocket. word to the wise- dont put your wet umbrellas in the main pocket use the side pockets instead. wet stuff will of course stay wet inside the waterproof bag making everything else inside the bag soggy. - dont ask me why i know *rolls eyes* fortunately drying is a snap. just flip it over and dry it when you get home. caveat- although this is difficult to open by thieves and the like due to the roll and snap top, i wouldn't really call this bag "slash proof" so keep your passport and other valuables elsewhere just in case yeah?

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.

Conos es osprey no me sorprende la calidad. Es muy práctica para viajar porque se hace pequeñita para poner en la maleta . Y una vez en destino la sacas para pasear libremente con ella. Es impermeable y no te preocupas si llueve. Súper ligera. El bolsillo exterior tiene un cierre impermeable . Tiene dos bolsitas laterales para poner agua o el mapa de la ciudad. Y como tiene cinta corredera no se te sale sin querer la botella de agua. Me gusta que tiene cinta de esternón para que sea más cómodo caminar o correr co ella. Súper ligera para pasear en la ciudad. Lo único que le pondría es un listón con gancho en la parte interna para enganchar o llaves o un pequeño monedero.

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

Excellent day pack. Keeps things dry and ready to get to. Travel fiendly!
