Review: Tasmanian Tiger – TT Stuffbag 15 WPV

Introduction

This year Tasmanian Tiger released the “Waterproof Series”, offering several items to protect your gear from the elements – the TT Stuffbag 15 WPV is one of them. As always, I had the chance to take a look at some of Tasmanian Tiger’s items and can give you a little insight into the bag, as well as some observations.

So let’s start with a quick overview and the specs, before looking at the TT Stuffbag 15 WPV.

Overview

The TT Stuffbag 15 WPV is a roll top drybag with an added valve for further compression. It features high-frequency welded seams and laser-cut elements with slits, welded onto the surface. These allow for adjustable attachments of the roll-top closure.

Specs

• Diameter and height: 20 x 40 cm
• Weight: 180 grams
• Volume: 15l
• Material: 420 Nylon TPU Eco

The Tasmanian Tiger TT Stuffbag 15 WPV

The waterproof compression bag is part of Tasmanian Tiger’s “Waterproof Series” and provides protection for your gear against the elements. It features a roll-top closure and welded seams to ensure a watertight seal.

A built-in valve lets you compress the bag to achieve more space efficiency when putting it into your backpack or bag. To the sides there are laser-cut attachment points that make it easy to secure the roll-top and attach the bag to other gear. They also allow an adjustment in height for the buckles, in order to size the bag up/down.

In use the TT Stuffbag 15 WPV proved to be easy to use and water proof enough for my taste. The valve is durable and lets you compress the bag quite a lot, if it is not fully packed. That way you can spare room in your bags/backpack. Using the laser-cut slits on the sides, one can adjust the buckles to increase/decrease the size of the stuff bag.

The rolltop can be either closed using the buckles on the left and right side of the opening, or by connecting them to the buckles on the laser-cut slits on the side. If the latter are not used, one can remove them completely. Theoretically speaking, one could also use those buckles to attach a sling, if you have one with the right buckles. As there are also two D-Rings, one could also use those to carry the TT Stuffbag with a sling, or mount additional items to it.

Conclusion

Even if it might look like just another drybag, the TT Stuffbag 15 WPV features some neat little details that provide the user with several options to use the bag. 15l is plenty of room to protect some clothes and gear from the elements. And if it is not fully packed, there are several effective ways to adjust the size either by compressing it using the valve, or by cinching it down on the sides, using the additional buckles.

With that being said, many thanks to Tasmanian Tiger for making this review possible!
