Only gave it 4 stars
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only gave it 4 stars because I won't haven't had a chance to use it yet. I'm taking it as a lightweight daypack on a 5 week safari in a couple months, so will update review then. For now, this is based on how it handles out of the packaging. The fabric is quality; the seams are nicely sealed, and it's very roomy but lightweight. It took a bit of experimenting to get it back into a pouch because the inner pocket is now sealed around the edges inside (better), so the how-to videos folks have posted don't work quite the same way anymore. But I found folding it in thirds around the straps, rolling from bottom and then the top, and slipping each roll inside the inner pocket makes a nice smooth square. The zipper doesn't zip, but there's a flap to prevent leaks under the main cover that flips over.

Super light weight. Large storage
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super light weight. Large storage area. I like the side waterbottle holders, didnt expect them. Compact when not in use! Seems very durable after first few uses hiking

Absolute rubbish
Beyond disappointing. Looked like it was worth a fraction of what I paid for it. Will never use this site again.

Nifty little bag
I’ve purchased this to take as a holiday day bag no have only so far used it to run down to the shops but impressed at what you can put in it and how comfortable it is. Folding was much simpler than I thought it was going to be. Looks to be a useful little bag, will be interesting to see how the lining holds up after prolonged use

A bit heavier and pricier
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A bit heavier and pricier than the other osprey ultralight travel pack I have but way more functional with chest straps, front pocket, roll top. Packs down very small and always easy to bring along just in case

Lightweight and very comfortable. Packs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight and very comfortable. Packs down nicely as well. The smaller middle pocket holds a water bottle so it’s not moving around while you’re hiking.

We took a 23 day
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We took a 23 day vacation travelling around France and Italy where my wife and I used a carry on backpack only. The ultralight stuff pack was our daily carry bag after arriving at our 7 different hotels. My wife and I both have them. What we found is that it's not really a good idea to design a backpack with almost no structural integrity. When unstuffed, unless you completely fill the backpack to create a structure, you end up in this situation where you are now carrying around an uneven, uncomfortable, unbalanced mess that is pulling on your shoulders from odd angles. The flaps to close the backpack never did sit properly so the bag ultimately just looks terrible and because the entire thing lacks any structural frame searching the bag for items is just not a great experience. Had it not been for the included chest strap the bag would have slipped off my shoulders half a dozen times. Worse for us is that if you try to use it with only one strap and you have a water bottle in the pocket, the water bottle will keep falling out and hitting the ground. I've now got 3 divots in my water bottle as a result. After the 3rd drop I stopped attempting to use the side pockets at all, which meant more awkward digging through the pack when I wanted water. We were excited about the potential of this type of bag having never tried one before but in the end it was more frustration and hassle than it was worth. In the future we will be sticking to bags that don't collapse into themselves. On the positive side, the material the bag is made of held up well to the one rainstorm we had on the trip.

Perfect travel companion

If this is you, this is your bag! You're not checking luggage - only taking a carry-on. You're going minimal. Yet you need options to hit the street at night on a work trip. Or you need an option to day pack it at the end of your long-hike. Small. Light. Waterproof. Perfect size. Comfortable. Need I say more?
