OspreyUltralight Stuff Pack

Second purchase of this invaluable lightweight back pack. Big enough for several coats/tops, water bottle, dog balls and other necessities. I’m not keen on over designed bags and this minimalist one gets all the basics right. Rip stop material is strong, sufficiently hydrophobic for drizzle, straps wide and comfortable enough, good side pocket for easily accessible water bottle and small top zip compartment for sunglasses or items needed to be located quickly. Packs very small. This bright green one will perhaps also make me more visible to traffic!

This bag has more than paid for itself as it fits under a plane seat ( avoiding airline bag charges), can be stuffed to capacity, is durable , washable and weightless when empty. It doubles as a shopping bag and offers safe storage for phone, passport and wallet.

Excellent backpack. Packs very small, I have used to carry a decent load ( around 10kg) and the straps feel solid and comfortable which is especially surprising given that there is no padding. This backpack has no back padding, so be sure to pack soft items closer to your back or a long flat object for the most comfort. I use it when commuting by bike to carry shopping on the way home.

great secondary travel backpack for a town or a beach or even for a light hike. However the price is quite high.

The backpack arrived today and, while I haven’t put it into action yet, I’m pleased. Osprey isn’t cheap but the lightweight backpack is clearly well designed and will undoubtedly justify the price over time. Naturally it doesn’t come with bulky or heavy materials or features that would make it more sturdy but it has a feel of quality and good design and I’m happy with my purchase. Also, after a couple of minutes fumbling I mastered getting it back into its tiny pouch pocket so it’ll be very handy as an extra for weekend breaks and a variety of holidays.

Amazing bag , lightweight, easy to pack once you have practiced few times and can hold more than few stuff. Seems to be made by excellent material and is quite durable for what it is. Excellent for travel or in a pocket of a jacket when is needed.

Bought this bag for a trip that would involve a lot of hiking and I was tight on space in my luggage. This was perfect. It fit in my suitcase, about the size of my hand. Extremely lightweight but holds its structure and is very comfortable on your back even when full. My boyfriend loved it so much he wanted it and I had to buy another!

Bought this as an under seat flight bag and lightweight pack for sightseeing, as supplement to my main hiking pack. The capacity is very generous for the size, it's good quality, and folds up small when not in use; shoulder straps are well-designed (v light) and there's the same whistle as on the full size Osprey packs. However, the downside is that it has no structure, so it's not very comfortable to carry water bottle/umbrella or small heavy items like battery packs in the top compartment, when the main compartment is not full - drags down at the back and there's no strap to keep water bottles in place, just mesh pouches, so they are apt to fall out when you bend over or put the pack down. Not waterproof either - need to put contents in a plastic bag if you're out in the rain. For city use, I prefer a more structured small pack from another brand, with padding at the back, but this is useful if you need large capacity without weight for travel.
