Important Notes
Please note that this pack is rated IPX5 for non-submersible waterproofing only. It is not intended for full submersion in water—such as swimming or diving. While highly resistant to rain and splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy water or immersion may compromise its waterproof integrity. Always ensure the roll-top closure is fully rolled and securely fastened before use in wet conditions. The main compartment offers open storage without internal dividers, so pairing it with packing cubes or dry bags can help organize contents more efficiently. No additional accessories are included—only the Dry Stuff Pack itself. Designed by Osprey, a brand known for innovation in outdoor gear, this pack reflects a commitment to lightweight, functional design tailored for real-world travel and adventure.
