ULA backpack

The rolltop works well and compresses the pack nicely but I prefer simpler closures these days. It’s a personal preference… it’s hard to say that one is betrrr than the other.

Matthew,

Thanks for the feed back. I am going to order a Ula Ohm but had thought of ordering it with the rolltop.

As Matthew said, it is really up to your preference. I have a P2 with a drawstring and a Catalyst with a roll top. I prefer the roll top and I can compress the pack much better and I can secure it at night to keep out anything that might want to get in.

I have both circuit with rolltop and Ohm with draw string.  I thought I would prefer the rolltop but it takes a few more seconds and is more fiddly.  That’s how picky you need to be to have a preference.  Rolltop should be more weather resistant.  I have a lid I use on both and also don’t count on either being waterproof.

My KS Ultralight KS50 has a drawstring, but if possible I still roll the top a few times to keep the weather out.

It just doens’t have the ‘classic’ drybag-buckles. Don’t like buckles.

I’ve had both and prefer the drawstring closure as I prefer the simplicity….as stated above I just roll it over a few time. Regardless, it is a personal preference….and you can’t go wrong with ULA

I have a circuit and an Ohm. I’ve always loved the roll top but as I use the Ohm more I admit I like the drawstring simplicity better.  It’s really a personal choice.

Much appreciated…..Everyone

I originally liked the roll top because it compresses so much better, but now I’ve come to prefer the drawstring because it’s so much easier to get inside the pack.

I don’t think the material is water resistance enough for a roll top to provide any benefit as far as weather protection goes.
