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 6/10How well its build keeps water out, from the published seams, closure and submersion claim. 6: A bit better than average.
Roll-top closure and seams that Exped's spec table calls taped. Its description on exped.com and the Exped UK page also says heat-sealed or welded, so Exped's own pages disagree; we use the more cautious taped. Not submersible, with no submersion claim: the 3 band.
Weight for its size
From maker's figures 10/10How much it adds to your pack for the space it protects. 10: The best you can buy for this.
48 g for 22 L is 2.2 g/L, under 4.0 g/L (Exped's spec table on Exped UK; Ultralight Outdoor Gear lists 49 g, also under 4.0 g/L).
In short
Good for
- A very light, see-through organiser for clothes, food or sleep gear inside a rucksack
- Colour-coding kit: seven sizes, each its own colour
- Not for river crossings or anything that may go under water
Strengths
- 48 g for 22 L (2.2 g/L)
- Translucent 20D recycled ripstop shows what's inside
- Seam-taped, with a roll-top and buckle
- Shaped base uses pack space well from 3 L up
- 5-year warranty (retailer pages)
Weaknesses
- Exped says it is not submersible
- Exped's pages disagree on seams (taped in the specs, heat-sealed or welded in the text), so we use taped
- 20D fabric is thin: keep it inside the pack
- One Bergfreunde buyer reports the bottom seam tape cracking after about 1.5 years
- No independent reviews found, so durability and ease are estimates, not reviewed scores
