Our ratings (out of 10)

1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score

Waterproof build

From maker's figures 6/10

How well its build keeps water out, from the published seams, closure and submersion claim. 6: A bit better than average.

Taped seams and a hypalon roll-top. Sea to Summit says it is waterproof where the bag will not be submerged and meant for use inside a pack, so there is no submersion claim: the 3 band.

Weight for its size

From maker's figures 10/10

How much it adds to your pack for the space it protects. 10: The best you can buy for this.

58 g for 20 L is 2.9 g/L, under 4.0 g/L (Sea to Summit's figure; Ultralight Outdoor Gear lists 56 g, the same band).

In short

Good for

  • Protecting a sleeping bag, down jacket or spare clothes inside a rucksack
  • Ultralight kits where every gram counts: 58 g for 20 L
  • Use inside a pack, not strapped outside or for paddling

Strengths

  • Very light: 58 g for 20 L (2.9 g/L)
  • Translucent 30D Ultra-Sil fabric with Cordura yarns, so you can see what is inside
  • Slippery finish for easy packing and unpacking
  • Taped seams and a hypalon roll-top closure
  • Oval base stops it rolling away and packs efficiently

Weaknesses

  • Thin 30D fabric, meant for inside a pack rather than rough outside use
  • Not submersible: Sea to Summit says to use it where the bag will not be under water
  • No reviews of the 20 L itself were found, so durability and ease scores are missing
