Ultra-Sil Day Pack

You forgot to mention one of the greatest uses of this bag;
Shove it in your suitcase when traveling. It’s perfect for those trips that are not hiking vacations but there may be a walk in the mountains or a trip to the open air market.
Also, Its been to the gym a dozen times already with me since I received it from a good friend for Christmas!

Good idea, but I have some doubts about the durability.

Hammock Bliss makes one that may not fit on your keychain, but it won’t blow out either. This always travels with me.

Also, REI has a “house brand” sack that has gotten pretty good reviews.

I’m buying this to keep on my motorcycle keychain. You never know when you may need to bring something home that you didn’t count on.

As a day-to-day cyclist, I could use one of these to put my cycling shoes away and feel a little more comfortable. And also whenever I go camping with my scout troop, I’d come in handy.

This would be great for bringing my work clothes to work while bike/train commuting. My messenger pack is overkill, takes up a lot of space & is like riding with a kite on my back. Something sleek & pocketable like this would make my commute a lot easier!

Easy! As a summit pack! You carry it on with all your stuff and on summit day, break out the USDP, put in some bars, water, first aid kit, headlamp and fleece and head up there.

This could be great to throw all the poison ivy, tick infested, smelly clothes/shoes in, after a long day of Adventure Racing!

Awesome looking “Useful Bag”! I need this bag to take to CONvergence (Four day annual convention in Bloomington MN for fans of Science Fiction and Fantasy in all media). I would be the envy of the other 5,000 attendees, and I would tell each and every one of them about Gear Junkie! This bag could hold my water bottle, snacks, books, and spare socks for the convention. Thanks for the chance to win.

This would rock,while hiking w/ my dog,up Cache Creek
To store our snacks,water,&lunch in! Thanks.

Excellent as to carry my EDC items & first aid kit when I go hiking.

I always have a need for a bag with me. Weather I’m out geocaching or at the store. It would also be great to have on the jet ski or the boat when you need a little extra help carrying stuff back off the lake.

Because, like my scout leader always said: “Always be prepared.” That has served me well all during adulthood. And because they can pack down into such a cool little bundle.

I need this pack for holding my packraft and hand paddles as I run to the local river put-in and packraft back to the take-out. Local last minute adventures wherever you go!

Great little pack! I’d love to have one of these for both hiking/camping but also for cycling. Light weight, high compressibility, great load capacity. Excellent!

It would be perfect for when the Boy Scout Troop is out on adventures. I would love these for the entire troop !!

The locals where I work are interesting so I walk with the company receptionist at lunch four days a week. Friday I walk alone and there is a bit of open space about a mile from my desk with a rock face above a kettle pond. If I race up there I can sit down and for a short time pretend I’m in the wilderness. A pack like this would make it easier to carry my lunch.

Ahh, I could use something like this for a day scouting pack when pack in to a wilderness area or when I ride my bike down to the grocery store and discover the pannier is too small…

I’d love to have this tiny extra pack for my keychain. You never know when you’ll need to carry more than you expected! And waterproof is a great feature for my summers in Scotland.

I need this pack because everytime I use it I can tell a great story that starts with, “When you subscribe to the Gear Junkie great things happen…..”

Seems like a great bag for packing up my trail running gear. I tossed out an old gear bag about a month ago because somehow my car keys fell out of it. Sadly, they fell out somewhere in the 20 feet between my house door and the car and haven’t been seen since. Not sure how that’s even possible, but this bag, thanks to being able to clip to a keychain, appears to be the solution I’ve been looking for.

Excellent for day trips from your hotel while traveling. It’d probably get more use out of me while Peakbagging from base camp though.

I would like to win this pack so that I can, next to treats for my dogs and “the essentials” for my gf actually bring along a little something for me as well that does not fit into my current backpack.. ;)

A bag like this would be great when the civilians of the world turn into zombies. Running away the bag is light enough the zombies arent likely to catch up , and strong enough that it wont tear with the apocalyptic creatures pull on it.

I am used to working with a much bigger one but sometimes you wish you had a smaller one to get the job done nice and quick. And this looks like a nice and quick one. SOLD

Me and this pack would go from the surf then on my bike ride to the gym, in my two favorite colors green and yellow. Josiah Spencer

This bag would be awesome for my wife and I, with our many, upcoming, planned adventures. With trips planned over the next 2 years to Norway, Belize, Fiji, Nepal, and Northern Canada, this bag would easily transport during flights, and be EXTREMELY useful for life in general.

Stuffs down to a size smaller than a baseball? AWESOME! Sounds like a must have! :)

Well – this pack will replace my old sling style heavy hemp hippie man-bag and make me look stylish at the farmers market or the mountain top. Compact, ample storage for anything from my cigars to crap-apple preserves. I could even put my hibachi in there!!!!

Perfect for walking the camino in Spain.since I’m a 66 spunky granny I think I deserve it!

i got a little boy, he’s busy like me. we go hiking and biking and occasionally climb a tree. drinks and snacks are a must, we’d fill this bag and it wouldn’t bust! and the yellow colour reminds me of a sunny day! :)

This is a great pack. You can stuff it down to the size of a pair of socks and carry it along to use as a summit bag; you can put it in your car and pull out it when you need to buy groceries or pick up some organic veggies at the farmers market; its super light weight, pretty darn durable; and provides an ample amount of storage. I used mine on the last mile of the summit of Mt. Whitney last summer. My kids are always taking mine…

boss.

I will be going to British Columbia this summer to do some backpacking around glaciers and glacial lakes. We are planning to have some day hikes, and I don’t wan’t to use my 75 liter pack for a day trip, and I want to keep my stuff safe from the ice and frigid water. This pack would be super light, super secure, and a great size for those day trips, and it would be a pleasure to take it along with me!

The perfect run-to-the-gym backpack. Lightweight, packable, and useful for smelly gym clothes or post-workout errands. If you need it, it’s there.

I could ditch my top cap and save some weight by switching to this little gem. It would be perfect for side hikes!

This is exactly what I need for paddle trips. I like to get out of the boat and take a short hike now and then, and just need to bring along a few essentials. I hate to carry a regular daypack for just a few short uses, or carry a large drybag just for a water bottle, first aid kit, and a snack. This is small and light enough to go in a dry bag or even my overnight backpack and forget about until I decide to strike off, and don’t feel like carrying ALL of my stuff. Perfect.

PS- I should also win because my initials are GJ, and I am a Gear Junkie. Worth a shot…

I believe that when my wonderful wife looks upon me instead of seeing the bearded man that I am, she sees me as a pack mule (at times a spider killer as well). This is partially my own fault for establishing the role as official family sherpa when we started dating, but a problem often arises when we encounter stuff we want or need. I’m almost always limited to what I can carry by having only two arms and small pockets on most of my clothes. And since I don’t like carrying empty bags on my back in case something strikes her fancy, there’s almost no solution in site. Until now…

I could use one of those while day hiking off the prince William sound on my 75 day Alaska expedition with nols :)

This actually sounds useful as a human bus/bike train I can see this coming in handy when I go to pick up the kids from school and they are bringing home a big art project I wasn’t expecting. Just pull this puppy out and instant trunk space on the bike. Or the impromptu stop at a farmers market and discovering peaches are ripe early. The uses seem endless, perhaps I’ll get to try this out…

I like the idea of biking to the grocery store. I could use this bag to carry by snacks…it could be my snack pack! :)

When you walk around the city you need a waterproof bag 4 save your laptop. In the forest to save map and robe. Climbing to put the food and the vine for the top. Sailing to protect the GPS. I don’t know where I’ll am next time. I prefere have a Ultra-sil always with me.

I would love to add this to my kayak gear. Space is limited and this would be great to throw in a day hatch and use it for a day pack when I explore the barrier islands. The fact that it is compact, lightweight and water resistant would make it a perfect addition.

I could use this for paddling, biking and hiking (like everyone else) but really the possibilities are endless. A few other uses that come to mind are rescuing small mammals from trees, transporting my latest basil harvest or carrying my grandmother’s “special” items on our Sunday outings.

I need this pack because I’m a poor college student going on a 6 week field camp where all we do is hike this summer. It’s going to test me and my equipment.

Would keep me more organized on the trail.

I was in a car accident five years ago and lost the ability to hike. I use to do 500 miles per summer but now I am only able to walk 2.75 miles per day. I always carry and emergency pack with te essentials and am always looking for ways to lesson the weight. This day pack is exactly what I need to continue my progress towards getting back on the trail.

My daughter just had serious surgery for TMJ; carrying a heavy backpack has been problematic..this lightweight pack seems like an awesome solution!

I could use one for Hiking, Hunting and Fishing with my boys. It never fails, somebody is gonna get muddy. This would be awesome to throw some clothes in for the return trip. It could carry clean clothes there and the dirty clothes back.Not to mention a little extra room for the first aid kit.

I often carry a ‘drawstring’ backpack around in my seat bag as an emergency ‘extra storage’ solution while on the bike. Nice to carry a 6 pack on your back instead of precariously on your handlebars while going the 5 miles from the liquor store to the beach after work. This looks even smaller and lighter with better straps than a drawstring pack. Great work Sea to Summit!

It’ll keep me lean, fast and on-the-go.

I need this pack because I have four outdoor children and I am tired of hauling around I diaper bag! I could look cool for once if I had this!!

I’m a Revolutionary War reenactor and this would be a great way to carry my kit to camp and then make my modern equipment “disappear”.

My husband and I are day trippers and it never fails we find a cool place to hike for an hour our two and do not want to haul our sturdier backpacks everywhere we go… just like to pack light
( water, binoculars and snacks ) and impulsively :)

I could use this bag as a beginning bag for camping trips which I would like to start doing this summer, but haven’t due to lack of experience and equipment.

The uses and convenience this pack offers are endless! It would be great for use going to and from the local produce stand/market, going along on treks with the dog along the trail or on the bike for rides, perfect for storing or safe-keeping for surprise rainstorms on a motorcycle, it would be ideal for a “go along” bag on the many trips I take every year for work as a travel agent all over the world and all conditions. This bag is the answer to so many needs for everyone!

I’m constantly in need of “just a little more space”, and since I shredded my last musette bag that hung out in the bottom of my pannier, I’ve been caught without enough capacity more than once. I’ve also gotten in the habit of taking the bare minimum for most adventures, and this might be the perfect way to reduce that mass a little more on lightweight overnights on foot.

I just moved out of the city and into the wilderness for graduate school. I’m noticing that the cheap gear I currently own isn’t made to last a while, and I’m going to need something that will make it until I have my Master’s degree. I’ll probably have to tote around some textbooks with my gear, but this pack looks positively wonderful.

I would use this pack almost everyday! Ive hiked 14ers in Colorado and didnt habe a nice pack like this one! I rock climb and hike around Devils Lake weekly so this would be amazing to have then I could finally retire my school back pack that is almost 10 years old! :) Please pick me!

I need this pack because when i’m traveling with my big 70L. backpack, I always bring my smaller day pack(which still take a lot of place) for walking around, My day backpack is awesome and all, but its a real pain when it comes to changing locations: I have the huge 70L. pack on my back and the 30L. day pack on my front. With this awesome Ultra sil day pack, I can just fold it up and put it in my pocket, or use it as padding for beer mugs and such in the larger pack on my way back home!

Would make my daily journey, more comfortable.

Let me explain why this pack would prove useful for me.

My brother and I have spent the last 18 months design and constructing a time machine. We have laboured both mentally sand physically collecting parts and simulating tests over the computer. We should be putting on the finishing touches next week and I have drawn the short straw to guinea pig it.
We’ve arranged for only ourselves to be transported through the time machine during our simulated computer experiments. We’ve also tested many times with “carry-on” object to no avail. That’s where you come in!
The Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Day Pack would be the perfect piece of gear to travel through time with me! With it’s ability to compact into an seemingly invisible physical state is unparalleled technology! The pack will allow for storage of essential items along my journey and will also mystify and excite the folk of the time era in which I’m travelling to (still undecided).

Please consider my plea for help!

This pack would be great for my backpacking trips to try and stay as light weight as possible!

this would be PERFECT for keeping in my windshield bag on my bike. then in a pinch if I ever needed to haul something bigger than my pocket, I’ve got a full sized backpack at my fingertips!! genius for bikers!!

I don’t need this very cool day pack. But I certainly want it. Perfect compliment for the day hikes I take with my 3 year old son!

That would make for an excellent drop bag during ultra trail marathons I plan on running in the very near future.

I’d give it to my husband for Father’s Day so he could use it when he is SUP boarding on the lake and needs a light weight water proof bag to safely store some items on his back…he falls a lot.

I’d keep it in my day bag for those Cub Scout day hikes where someone forgets a pack or brings a friend who didn’t have a pack.

My daughter is small and could use a lightweight pack. Most of the regular ones are so heavy even when they are empty they become quite a drag for her.

so my pb&j stays dry

The pack looks awesome in its stored away key chain! I like this idea as a back up back pack. Very convenient!

I’m 46 and I just signed up for a 27.4 mile trail run on the SHT. My pack could stand to loose a little weight.

This is a great solution for those short scrambles where you don’t want to repack the top detachable hip sack of your 70L pack.

This would be the perfect pack to solve my problem of stopping at the grocery store on my bike ride home from work and accidentally grabbing more than I can carry. It also looks useful for carrying a few essential items on day hikes from a base camp. Thanks for the chance to win!

This bag would be great to send to Nepal with my friend that is going over there to help with an orphanage. Maybe I could get some LuminAid’s to fill it with for the kids. :)

Hiking with kids often has me starting light and then bringing home sticks, rocks and much more that could nicely fill the pack!

I’d love this just to stash in my car with my emergency gear, for one of those times you wish you brought a bigger bag to carry stuff in.

Cycling year round in Seattle, my clothes just get to dang wet!

Because in 49 days 13 hours 35 minutes and 28 seconds I will begin to climb mt Kilimanjaro!

I need this for my September solo Yosemite backcountry trip! It would take up no room and not add any discernible weight to my pack but be available to quick side trips while on my adventure!

I need this because I dont always have bag, but often need one when I was carrying nearly nothing in the morning but bought something later-on and struggle to carry/ride home a few miles one-handed. looks good.

I’m starting a new job soon where I’m gonna be out doing trail maintenance for 5 days at a time, having a daypack that is easy to carry out would be a big help!

I would love this bag because it’s a great summit bag. Just enough to stuff down and hang off your big bag until summit day. Enough to hold some trail mix and a hat, and easy to change. I’ve been needing a bag like this because the other summit bags take up to much room! But I do need one that is small enough, but that can still carry the goods. I climbed Mt. St Helens and my other bag just took to much space, this bag would be great for my next climb! Mt. Adams! :D

This would be great for the sweaty gym clothes

I am a small woman 5 feet 100lbs so this is the perfect pack for me. My sister & I are going to Alaska for 6 day guided hike @ this would be the perfect pack for the trip. Go girl power! Go sister power!

this would be great to stash in your suitcase on vacation and than use as a carry on bag on your trip home with all your souvenirs and other stuff you picked up on your travels

An ultra sil day pack is the perfect thing to stuff in your down parka when walking through airport security with pockets filled to the brim with climbing gear or food, two carryons, and a helmet of some sort. Instantly transform to and from a 3rd carryon with no weight consequences.
