Abigail ScottBy Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Osprey UltraLight 12 Dry Sack

Description

Keeping all of your gear organised and protected is a concern whether adventuring in the Antarctic or out hiking in a balmy summer’s afternoon. We’ve designed a range of ultralight and tough drysacks specifically to help you achieve this. Made from Siliconised ripstop nylon and in a variety of eye catching colours mean that you can trust they’ll keep your kit protected and visible even in the darkest depths of your pack. It will also allow you to colour code your contents for even quicker access. We know that your equipment and organisation requires a degree of flexibility, that’s why we’ve created our drysacks in a range of sizes, from 3L to 30L. Equipped with a fully waterproof roll-top closure, coated fabric and taped seams that keep your gear dry no matter how wet your pack gets. Unlike other drysacks they have a rectangular shape. This results in more efficient packing and when removed from your backpack, they’re able to stand unaided. What’re you waiting for – make sure your gear is protected!

  • Nylon
  • Imported
  • Roll top closure is waterproof and helps compress items within the dry sack
  • Rectangular shape assists with efficient packing
  • Made from durable 40D Rip stop Nylon
  • Yes, I have used my dry sack for a week long backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail. It seemed to support the weight just fine when hung.

    The dry weight of the bag when empty is 1.5oz

    Id say yes, but i had mine for only a couple of days in my bedroom barely used and i had noticed it had snags (tiny holes) already in it. Id be wary, but i might have just gotten a defect.

    It all depends on the type of shoe. Minimalist shoe yes. Sneakers are a tighter fit. Boots no way. Get the next size up 21L and it will fit all.

    Things we like

    • Buckle buckles assist in fastening the bag securely, and the bag is incredibly sturdy despite its low weight.

    Things we don't like

    • The sizing is often on the large side.
