That strap can also be useful for holding a jacket or raincoat for easy access and not use up the inside of the pack, or get the inside wet in the case of a raincoat. A big bonus when traveling.

@NoraDunn Год назад

Absolutely! Great observation, John.

I really liked your video, Nora! It was extremely helpful to me, especially since I had purchased the Osprey Ultralight Dry Stuff Pack 20 L through an African Safari tour company's store and couldn't locate user instructions anywhere, including on Osprey's website. I couldn't even figure out which type I had bought. However, thanks to you, I now know which version, how to use it, and how to pack it within itself. Thanks, Nora! You're much appreciated! 😃

I have the ultra light version in turquoise, and I love it! With the zipper, it's easy to access items inside, and I've carried some pretty heavy groceries in it without any damage. I use one of the water bottle pockets for water, and the other one for trash if I'm out for the day. I love Osprey!

Yippee! Drop a comment here when you start using it to let us know how you like it! Be warned: it will come out of the package super wrinkly. I got the wrinkles mostly out by stuffing it with a cushion for a few days.

@696969bold 10 месяцев назад

This is a really good review! I have both bags. I prefer the 20L waterproof and can attest it IS WATER PROOF. Tested on a speed boat in Kauai with success. I prefer having two side pockets, a waist strap, and the front zippered pocket. The organization is much better. The roll top customizes if you dont need the full 20L. I still use the 18L stuff pack as a back up or when another in my party needs it. It works well as a personal item on flights.

@NoraDunn 10 месяцев назад

Well said! Thanks for weighing in.

@susie9893 27 дней назад

Thanks for that. I checked out this review bcos I was interested in the waterproof 1 but by the end I was leaning more towards the 18l cos I figured I could improve the waterproofing on the zippers with candling. But, you raise a good point. I don't think I'd normally need 20l from a daypack (considering waterbottles can go on outside, which is what mostly necessitates a daypack for me; everything else fits in my sling and can tie a jacket around my waist) but if I can vary the capacity then I can use this for groceries or even laundry if required, or day use stuff (anything from extra layers to swim gear). So, for me, the waterproof 1 is a winner now, bcos it's really a drybag + daypack all in 1 (that means that it has more uses than just a daypack eg. keeping bag contents dry if laundered clothes are still slightly damp etc) 🤗

@sparrowgab Год назад

Hi, Nora1 I just bought the Ultralight Stuff Pack. It seems great already and superpackable. I had not noticed the whistle! Strolling in Naples and Procida, we got caught in a few showers. All I could think at the moment was: Next stop: "packable jackets, packable backpacks". Love your channel. Cheers.

@NoraDunn Год назад

Ha ha! Too bad it takes a rainstorm for us to realize what we need! I've been there, trust me. ;-) Glad you love your stuff pack already!

@theresasouthern8631 9 месяцев назад

My entire family got the 20L waterproof ultra dry packs and they were plenty enough room for our 2 week trip to costa rica - plus they definitely got wet and nothing leaked! looking forward to using it as my sole carry-on (yep, we travel light!) for my upcoming trips abroad! travel economy, travel light, no checked bag fees! woo hoo! Oh, and the roll top means that if you don't need waterproofness, you can stuff way more than 20L of clothing and stuff into it. and the loops for caribiners are great! side pockets also great for just stuff!

@adoptagoldfishdotcom2283 Год назад

I have an Eddie Bauer packable drysack backpack and it's great, I use it as a daybag and as a small washing machine-type thing. (for laundry I fill it with clothes, laundry, a laundry soap strip, and shake it, drain it, do a couple of rinse cycles) The technology available to us for this stuff is incredible.

@NoraDunn Год назад

I saw one by Eddie Bauer and it didn't look very "packable"....maybe I was looking at the wrong one. Was this it? www.eddiebauer.com/p/82300168/stowaway-packable-20l-backpack?color=Reef&sp=1&size=ONE%20SIZE&sizeType=

Thanks! I haven't personally tried any of the Matador packs, but I did research and review their most packable backpack in this article. Looks like it's much bulkier and heavier, which doesn't. bode well for me as an ultralight traveler. www.theprofessionalhobo.com/portable-perfection-ultralight-packable-backpacks-for-easy-travel/

@joyceb5864 Год назад

Nice review, but after a recent trip with a backpack and a carryon suitcase, I've decided I will never purchase another backpack that does not have a trolly sleeve to go over a suitcase handle. The one I recently used became rather heavy and when I tried to balance it on the suitcase it was very awkward to maneuver through the airports.

@NoraDunn Год назад

I'm with you, Joyce! But I don't suggest these backpacks be used on travel days - that's why they're packable! They're simply not sturdy enough to be used as a personal item. Instead, I pack them in my carry-on, and then I use them at my destination for outings, hikes, even groceries, etc.

@DD654-jx9kl Год назад

I watched a video from a guy who use the waterproof as a bag for washing which makes me know that it’s totally worth!

@NoraDunn Год назад

Interesting strategy! It would be a lot lighter than the "Scrubba" wash bag which is designed for hand laundry on the road but is MUCH heavier and bulkier. (That said, the Scrubba has way more laundry-friendly features, but I would only recommend the Scrubba if you're camping or doing some kind of long-term back-country thing that requires serious hand laundry).

@Degio207 Год назад

Do you know the difference in weight and size when stored in their own pocket of this stuff pack and the old version? I'm talking about the non waterproof ones

@NoraDunn Год назад

Are you referring to the old version Osprey Stuff Pack 18L and the current one (which was very recently redesigned)? I believe they're almost identical. The biggest difference is that the new one is made with Bluesign approved recycled materials.

@Degio207 Год назад

@@NoraDunn yes I’m talking about the old version compared to this new one. Osprey doesn’t specify the exact weight and packed size which to me is important when buying a backpack that’s meant to be light and packable. I can see the new one has some new features, like the sternum strap and 2 external water pockets instead of 1, plus the straps are redesigned, so I think it’s a little heavier and bulkier but can’t say for sure without seeing them in person

@@Degio207 I'm sorry that my showing it in the video didn't give you enough of a gauge as to its size. I believe the exact weight is 5.26 oz (149.23 g)

Yes! Although the waterproof 20L pack is better for smaller items like umbrellas, because there are straps to hold them in place. On the 18L pack, if it isn't full, sometimes top-heavy and/or small things fall out of the side pockets.

@ethanbox2010 10 месяцев назад
