Full details
The Osprey Ultralight Drysack (12L) is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, backpackers, and travelers seeking reliable protection for their gear against moisture.

Troubleshooting
Slight water ingress
Ensure the roll-top closure is rolled down at least three times tightly and the buckle is securely fastened. Check for any punctures or damage to the fabric or seams.
Difficulty closing the roll-top
Make sure you have removed as much air as possible from the bag before rolling. Ensure no items are obstructing the opening.
Fabric feels sticky or tacky
This can sometimes occur with silicone coatings. Try cleaning with a damp cloth and allowing it to air dry fully. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
