Dry Bag Backpack Review: The perfect size for a paddleboard and great for all water sports or out doors adventurers! - As a standup paddleboarder and kayaker I have a need to waterproof storage, on the paddleboard in particular. I have a 10 litre dry bag that I've used successfully and I can store my phone, sunglasses, hat, car keys and packed lunch in it, but that's about it. There's no room for anything else. So I wanted something larger and decided to give this one a try. I picked this one, because unlike a standard dry bag you might find for a paddleboard, this also has straps to make it a rucksack. That was just a bonus, but I figured if I stop somewhere on my board, I might want to walk up a bank to have lunch or camp or something and then having a bag pack would be handy. Also, if I went camping or trekking without the paddleboard, I'd need a rucksack anyway, so I may as well have a totally water proof one!! Space-wise, it's a great improvement. I can pack a spare set of clothes in case I fall in (I don't wear a wetuit in summer, just shorts and a T-shirt). I can pack a small tent in it. There is plenty of space to take a packed lunch for a whole family if you are out for the day together. It is great! It is also totally waterproof! There are side mesh pockets for bottles etc and also bungee's on the top. It fits perfectly on to my paddleboard and it is about the right size too. Too much smaller (like the 10 litre) and you don't have storage, plus it moves around. Too much bigger like a 50l and it would be too large and heavy. So it's just right. I've not gone trekking with it yet, but I have used it as a rucksack for carrying stuff to and from my paddleboard and it is very comfy to carry. If you like outdoors, particularly water sports, this is a great bag! I've attached some pictures which show it on my board, packed with clothes and lunch for a full day out for two people. Review: Absolutely perfect !! - I am a 5.4" woman and when this bag arrived my first thought was 'It's way too big'. BUT !!! The top of the bag does fold over (or can be used as part of the bag) and, folding this over, immediately made this bag perfect for my size. With the top of the bag unfolded, this will easy be a great size for a tall man. Definitely recommend this - The plastic is tough and looks good. There are also straps to secure the bag so it doesn't bounce around on your back - essential for me as I bought this for my volunteer work with Search and Rescue.

Good quality Dry Bag
This bag was originally purchased as a rucksack for work as I wanted something waterproof. It was too large for that; however as a going to the beach,paddleboarding,kayaking etc. this bag is ideal. You can fit everything in for a whole day out (couple/small family); and I mean everything! from beach towels to books. It is ideal in that it stands well enabling you to dig down to the bottom, and with no fussy zips or pockets your gear is easily located/stored. The 'fold down' clip closing classic of dry bags feels and has stood up to be secure, it is easily wiped clean and once emptied folds up almost flat. Two points I have found is that the side water bottle storage can work loose; these would be better elasitcated. I'm female of average height and I would have liked that the shoulder straps be given more padding for a bit more comfort and support. On the whole this is a really good dry bag, it feels well made and does what it is designed for which is to keep your gear dry and secure.

Good bag
Really useful bag. Bought for going around Asia for 5 months and was fantastic for any water or beach based activity. Could be improved if it had a pouch inside for smaller items that can just get jumbled with everything else. Also a comfortable bag to wear generally. Used when hiking up a volcano for a couple of days and had no problems with it.

But I did take this bag on a boat trip and I am super impressed. Loads of room to fit clothes etc
Mostly using this for cycling to work. But I did take this bag on a boat trip and I am super impressed. Loads of room to fit clothes etc. Keeps everything dry! I even used the little waterproof phone/valuables bag (I used it for my phone) which took some great pictures even through the plastic. I also find it really comfortable to wear. Overall a great waterproof bag.

Worth while investment!!!!
Brilliant bag. Plenty of room and comfortable. I walk a lot, this was to replace my rip curl bag, which finally give up the ghost... This is a very good replacement, I can say, I have used the bag in the worst weather so far this winter... It has come through excellently, 100% dry and has held up great, with the bag full to capacity. Would recommend to all.

Wow what a great Company to order from!
Fabulous product. It for a present for a boating enthusiast, can’t wait to give it to him. Looks tough and strong and fit for purpose. The speed of delivery was fantastic. Ordered one day and here the next. Would definitely come back again.

Not for cyclists
Good bag and seems to keep things dry, but I am a cyclist and would say it’s not suitable for use .. the padding on the back is inadequate and you can feel the items in the bag digging into your back.. the padding is only in 3 sections not all over

Acheté en urgence avant de partir en Guyane pendant la saison des pluies, j'ai été livré dans les temps. Son utilisation en Guyane a répondu tout à fait à mes attentes, tant d'un point de vue étanchéité pour protéger vêtement et matériel photo que d'un point de vue confort sur le dos pour marcher. Les filets externes sont également un plus pour la bouteille d'eau ou accrocher un parapluie. Le sac semble solide et a bien résisté à toutes nos randonnées dans la forêt et en bateau. La pochette pour le téléphone est aussi bien faite et elle permet sans problème d'utiliser le téléphone hormis la lecture d'empreinte (mais ça c'est normal). Je pense que pour la suite ce sac à dos va m’être très utile pour le bateau. Je recommande donc vivement ce produit.

I disliked nothing....I bought this bag for my trip to Costa Rica as rain was in the forecast. This was also my carry on bag for the flight. It held everything I needed with plenty of room for more. It folds down perfectly and surprisingly wearing at as a backpack with the water proof material didn't make my back sweaty and was actually the most comfortable backpack I've worn. The water bottle holders on both sides could have been a little deeper but they still held the 24 oz water bottles just fine. I received no less than 10 people asking about this bag. They all wanted one and were going to use it for fishing, rafting, camping and more. They all loved the look. Now for the usage report: After probably 200 openings and fold downs, you cannot tell its ever been used. Still looks brand new. I took it on a 6 hour hike in the Rainforest and it performed perfectly. Everything was dry, in order and wearing the bag was completely comfortable. Next I went to the beach and it sat in the sun all day. Still cannot tell I've ever used it. There was an added perk of security as its not easy to pick pocket. There is only one way in and that was strapped and locked. In summary, I'll use this bag for every trip from now on. It looks fantastic, people notice it and compliment you. It holds everything you need, keeps stuff protected, dry and out of the sand and out of sight. My only suggestion for design options would again be deeper bottle holders and an inside zippered pocket area just for storing wallets and keys. The hanging phone bag is awesome but not big enough for easy in and out for today's larger phones. Get the bag, you'll love it !!!

Al precio que tiene pensaba que seria la tipica mochila de plastico de mala calidad, pero resulto ser muy buena, el material es muy duro, es estanca impermeable y de muy buena calidad, y es muy espaciosa. Yo la uso para pesca submarina, la quise estanca para meter el movil, cartera, llaves... y de momento todo perfecto, la uso como boya atada a mi, y de momento nada mojado.

I use mine for winter cycling commuting and this is an =exceptional= bag. Quality is superb, the stitching is flawless, the materials are solid, thick and so far very durable. Material is thick and totally waterproof with all seams completely sealed. Like most dry bag there is just one big bag with no internal separators which makes the interior cavernous (and slightly hard to keep stuff organized). The dry bag sealing is what you typically see on canoe bags, etc with a flexible band that you roll up the top of the bag and then curve it over (as clear in the pictures). I haven't submersion-tested the bag but I'm sure that this is completely submersion-proof if that's what you need. Definitely more that sufficient for rain and road spray like I need. The outside surface of the bag is a smooth plastic that wipes clean easily - much better than a knit fabric for cleaning the water stripe I get up my back from my rear tire (I really need to get a fender!!). One of my favorite purchases this year - I'm trying to reserve my 5 stars for actually outstanding products because it seems more people are cheapening ratings with 5 stars for "nothing wrong with it" which isn't terribly helpful. Five Stars here for me definitely means an exceptional bag.

Compré este producto porque donde vivo llueve mucho y de repente, así que necesitaba una mochila para estar listo en todos momentos. El material se siente de buena calidad, definitivamente impermeable, ya que es puro plástico. 30 litros es buen volumen, una vez que la cierras bien se ve como una mochila normal, con buena capacidad. Lo único que dificulta un poco el utilizo es que no tiene divisores internos, lo cual resulta un poco incómodo al momento de buscar tus pertenencias dentro de la mochila. El bolsillo lateral para bote de agua considero sea adecuado para botes de 500 a 750ml, de un litro para arriba es fácil que se caiga. En general, recomiendo mucho.
