I used two of these dry sacks for my thru hike and did have continual moisture leakage at the seams of the sack. I ended up having to re-enforce the bag using a contractor bag, which felt like it defeated the purpose. I'd say it works for short periods of water exposure, but don't rely on it to keep your sleeping bag dry while backpacking in rainy season. I'm returning these to try another brand.

Bought several different sizes and colors of these drybags. This one, 3L version weighs 25g. So far I am very satisfied with every aspect of them. Though I must say that I have (luckily I´d say) yet to get any of them wet. - The fabric feels truly sturdy and high quality. - Stitchings are precise and the seams are thoroughly glued / taped. - I enjoy the straps on the outside on the bottoms for easy hanging upside down or fast emptying of the bags. - The plastic buckle feels like very high quality and since it´s branded YKK I trust my judgment even more. What confuses me slightly is that the buckle seems to be facing the wrong way for whatever reason, but maybe I am missing something, and whatever the reason is it does not affect anything in a negative way .. apart ... MoreBought several different sizes and colors of these drybags.

I would recommend these bags any day and I will be editing this review if my opinion changes.

I have grown to hate stuff sacks. They coat the fabric with a PU coating. After 4 or 5 years the coating deteriorates. It gets sticky. Drawstrings stop working. The bag becomes worthless. Osprey bags don't have the PU coating, they use the Silnylon fabric. I have had one for several years with no issues. These are all I will buy from now on. I have a stuff sack from the late 80's that had no coating and no water proofing. It holds my stove and fuel bottle. It is over 30 years old and works fine. Will Osprey last that long? Check back with me when I reach 90.

I bought this bag as well as the 6L size to keep my keys and phone dry when I go White Water kayaking. I stuff them in my clam shell pocket on my PFD and off I go. When I take my phone out of the bag, it seems there is a little bit of water in it. Not a whole lot mind you, but enough to have droplets of water on my phone when I took it out to take pictures. My phone is water "resistant" so the little water that goes in does not ruin it at all.Now there is the question of durability...it's not the greatest. Material is really thin which is great for weight savings but makes it pretty easy for tears to take place. Sure, I could've better stored it in the trunk of my car but now I have a hole at the bottom. It is a tiny hole but noticeable enough when you roll up the ... MoreI bought this bag as well as the 6L size to keep my keys and phone dry when I go White Water kayaking.

It is a tiny hole but noticeable enough when you roll up the seal and squish it to test for air tightness.Probably fixable with a patch kit which I will take care of soon.Overall though, this bag gives me piece of mind when I bring my electronics out with me. The cons don't necessarily outweigh the pros and as long as you keep up with minor tears, the bag will treat you just fine as it did me.
I used the 20L on the PCT as my food bag in 2016. My food never got wet and we weathered some serious storms, and a submersion when I fell in a river. Did it survive the trip? Of course not, I beat the heck out of it for 128 days in the backcountry. It had rips that I tenacious taped, and scuffs from the many bear hangs, and a mouse eaten hole from a very tricky little rodent, but overall I was very satisfied with this bag. I threw it out when I was done because it was also DONE, but it lasted through the long haul. One of the biggest advantages is the squarish shape. It fits much better in a pack than the cylindrical competitors on the market. I’m buying another one for my next big trip. Keep in mind for all the naysayers in this review section, that this is an ... MoreI used the 20L on the PCT as my food bag in 2016.

Keep in mind for all the naysayers in this review section, that this is an ultralight bag. Of course the fabric isn’t going to be as tough as some of the others on the market. its ULTRALIGHT! If you want something bomber be prepared to take the hit on weight. You can’t have it all, but In my opinion, this bag is a great product.
I have had one of these for a couple of years and a couple of backpacking trips and bought a few more for a Paris Canyon adventure that unfortunately was aborted because of high water. I have filled them with water and saw no leaks after about an hour. I used my original one to hang food a couple of times, and after some abuse it has held up well.
I was just uyong some additioal dry bags to replace some old stuff sacks. I thought the square design was more of a gimic to give ofsprey a different look for the competion. After 2 months of backing and weekend day hikes i was surprised by the funtionality and effectivness of this product. The square shape of this bag proved itself to function perfectly and without flaw. Straight sides allow for stacking or side by side placement in the pack. Very nice. The square footprint allows the sack to freely stand on its own when in use. Great for trail side when your digging around in your pack, and when you need bith hands available. This is its best feature. I never realized how unstalble round compression sacks were till i tried this one. If you have ever had one roll ... MoreI was just uyong some additioal dry bags to replace some old stuff sacks.

If you have ever had one roll away from you in the field then you know what im talking about. I kicked this bag, drug it toss it around in the woods. I still have no tears or holes in the bag. All in all the product performs flawlessly. Does what it is suppose to every time. Adds a huge element of conveinence and holds up to the punishing elements of back packing. Ofsprey hit a home run on this product line.
About three years ago I was traveling for work and had my company laptop in my carry-on bag. I was exhausted and decided to throw my bag up in the overhead compartment for the flight so I had as much room as possible to get a few hours of sleep in. Fast forward to landing at my destination - I opened the overhead compartment to find that someone's Nalgene had opened up during the flight and flooded the overhead bin - my bag was soaked, as was my laptop. Despite drying it out in the hotel - I was without a laptop for my trip, and I had a mound of paper work to file when I got back explaining the situation! I purchased the 12L dry sack bag to travel with going forward (it fits a 13in laptop perfectly!) - and never have to worry again about water or moisture problems. ... MoreAbout three years ago I was traveling for work and had my company laptop in my carry-on bag. I was exhausted and decided to throw my bag up in the overhead compartment for the flight so I had as much room as possible to get a few hours of sleep in. Fast forward to landing at my destination - I opened the overhead compartment to find that someone's Nalgene had opened up during the flight and flooded the overhead bin - my bag was soaked, as was my laptop. Despite drying it out in the hotel - I was without a laptop for my trip, and I had a mound of paper work to file when I got back explaining the situation! I purchased the 12L dry sack bag to travel with going forward (it fits a 13in laptop perfectly!) - and never have to worry again about water or moisture problems. Since that incident, I've purchased 15 more of these bags in various colors and sizes. I use them in hiking packs to keep my items (rain gear, cold gear, outer layers) compressed and organized/easily identifiable by color. When you roll the top down and snap the bag closed, it will form a loop that you can use to hang the bag by (see picture), but there's also a small loop on the bottom of the bag that can be used for the same purpose (see picture). I've used the smaller sizes to store liquids (shampoo, soap, etc) in while traveling. These wash out well when something does spill inside - and dry out quickly. Just shake and the water molecules fall right off. I also keep one of these in a suede purse that I use from time to time that was passed down from my grandmother after she died. I can throw the whole purse in the dry bag if I'm caught off guard by the weather. A little much, I know - but I don't ever want anything to happen to that purse, and I know it won't while it's in this bag! They are light, compact and will protect your gear, bottom line.
We have a number of different waterproof storage bags with distinct fabrics, including rubber-coated or treated nylon, lined polyester, and expensive Dyneema, but these Osprey UL dry sacks are our consistent choice for rainy backpacking trips. The 40D ripstop nylon is lightweight, but if you tend to abuse your pack contents or don't properly stow sharp or abrasive gear, this fabric might fray or puncture. This design isn't made to compete with heavy, coated river rafting dry sacks, but it's perfect for stowing and organizing spare clothing or food inside your pack--essentials you want dry when you arrive at camp. The smaller sizes also save weight and possibly money over full-length pack liners. I prefer using Osprey Dry Sacks with bright colored fabrics (one for ... MoreWe have a number of different waterproof storage bags with distinct fabrics, including rubber-coated or treated nylon, lined polyester, and expensive Dyneema, but these Osprey UL dry sacks are our consistent choice for rainy backpacking trips.
