Been used a couple of times now. It's quite ok to pack in your own pocket, a roomy outer pocket is good. The roller shutter works, but sometimes the clips stay inside the fabric. The stuff fits surprisingly well and the little pockets are functional and practical. I carry it with me as a daypack and I've also taken it to the beach.

After two months of traveling in Asia, I can say that the backpack withstands both torrential rains and hot temperatures of +35 C without compromising on its material. The backpack got stained a few times with sunscreen and took a hit from sweating, but it hasn't gone anywhere. The only small minus is the backpack's small pocket, which the backpack can really fit into, so it should be quite a bit bigger.

Handy daypack for travel. Can squeeze into a small space, so it can be conveniently carried among hand luggage when not in use. Moderate UL, so e.g. the slats must be placed more carefully than in normal backpacks. Closing by rolling gives some room for adjustment. Time will tell on durability.

Light and water resistant. It just fits in a jacket pocket. Packing becomes easier after a few practice sessions. A big plus is the separate pockets, bottle pockets and the height-adjustable chest strap. There is also a whistle in the clip on the chest. A very versatile light backpack. Strong recommendation.

A backpack that packs into a moderately small one (goes in the jacket pocket) and has as many features as a regular one. The water stays outside (or inside, this too accidentally found). The roll-top, due to the compression straps and sternum strap, is very comfortable to carry, was in a backpack then a mere laptop or 20l, and can be overpacked for sure. Dry is € 20 more expensive than the basic model, but for the reasons mentioned, definitely worth the money.

I’ve been using Stuff Pack’s Ultralight predecessor for years until it finally broke the zipper. The predecessor took me years of almost daily use, despite the thin dry bag material, so I expect this backpack to serve at least as well. Compared to the previous model, this backpack has several improvements, such as net drink bottle pockets on both sides, better shoulder straps with chest straps, and the replacement of the DG's zipper with a rollable dry bag system (= the backpack is less prone to breakage). Works both on weekdays as a waterproof little backpack and, for example, as a top backpack for great long hikes. Packed small and is light. Of course, be careful with sharp objects.
