Waterproof Dry Bag Backpack 35L - Kayaking Boating Fishing Rafting Marine

I bought this bag for a trip with my son to Costa Rica. We planned on doing lots of hiking and wanted a bag we could carry on our backs, something water resistant and that would generally keep the bugs out. When it arrived I was very happy with the overall quality. My son, who had planned on bringing a vintage looking canvas bag decided to get an Earth Pak for himself for our trip. These bags and their contents where all we had for two weeks of camping and hiking.Due to their size we were able to carry on our Earth Pak and place them in the luggage carrier above our heads during all our flights. We travelled all over Costa Rica for our trip. From Monteverde down the coast to the more remote Drake Bay/Corcovado area.During our travels from Sierpe to Drake Bay you take a bumpy, windy, wet 45 minutes on an open topped boat through the wetlands and around into the bay. We boarded with tourists and locals. Most tourists were lugging on large canvas roller bags while locals carried the bare necessities in packs JUST LIKE this Earth Pak. In my first picture you can see my bag resting at my feet in the boat to Drake Bay. Everyone's bag sloshed around in several inches of water for the entire 45 minute boat ride. When we arrived there were no docks to pull up to. You literally jump out of the boat into waist deep water and the captains toss you your bags. Several tourists on the boat with us were visibly upset when they were handed their large, wet and now extremely heavy canvas roller bags. My son and I grabbed our bags, put them on our backs and jumped out of the boat into the water and easily hiked up to our hostel. No struggling with canvas rollers along muddy dirt roads. When we arrived, our contents were bone dry and we were able to pull out fresh dry towels and dry pajamas!Helpful tips: 1) Because this bag is basically one large container we were REALLY glad to have purchased packing cubes. The black mesh packing cubes kept my various packed items separate and made it easier to grab one item out without having to refold everything each time. 2) I carried a first aid kit with us which was kept in a hard sided plastic waterproof container. This was totally unnecessary as the bag was completely waterproof during our entire 2 week trip- I could have just gone with a plastic bag and saved the weight and space.The one con: We did a lot of walking and heavy duty hiking with these bags on our backs. I do wish that the bag had a hip belt system. The shoulder straps were padded enough for our liking and the straps were pretty comfortable. The bags are big enough to be heavy when filled with our stuff and a hip belt would have been helpful for those longer hikes to redistribute some of that weight.The bag held up wonderfully our entire trip! The best purchase we made!It's been 9 months since our trip and we've since used these bags for hiking, camping, overnights and day trips. It's a ridiculously useful size. Recently one small seam between the small bag and large compartment in our yellow bag has come undone. This doesn't affect the integrity or water proofing of the bag at all so I haven't contacted EarthPak. I have no doubt they would take care of it since a small note in the bag when it arrived mentioned a life time guarantee.Overall I am so happy with my purchase. Maybe my best Amazon find yet.PROS:- low cost- good quality- durability- water proof!!! (We put that to the test time and time again!)- size (small enough to be a carry on) large enough to pack a lot in itCONS:- large enough to be heavy- no hip belt- one seam has come undone but not integral to the bagTOTALLY WORTH IT! BUY THIS BAG.

I recently purchased the Earth Pak Waterproof Backpack in the 85L size, and I must say, this backpack exceeded all my expectations. As an avid camper and outdoor enthusiast, I've been searching for a reliable and truly waterproof backpack for a while, and I'm thrilled to have found the perfect one.First and foremost, the waterproofing capabilities of this backpack are simply outstanding. I had the opportunity to put it to the test during a recent camping trip, where I left it out in the pouring rain for several days. To my delight, every single item inside remained completely dry, even in the harshest downpours. The roll-top closure system effectively seals the bag and ensures water doesn't stand a chance of seeping in.The capacity of the 85L size is perfect for my needs. It provides ample space to pack all my camping gear, including a tent, sleeping bag, cooking equipment, and clothing. The backpack's design allows for efficient organization, and the front pocket is a convenient addition for storing smaller essentials like maps, a compass, or a flashlight.Comfort is paramount when embarking on outdoor adventures, and Earth Pak has certainly delivered on that front. The backpack features a cushioned back panel that offers excellent support and ventilation. This makes extended hikes and treks much more enjoyable, as it reduces strain on my back and keeps me cool even during hot summer days.Another great feature of this backpack is the included phone case. It provides added peace of mind by protecting my phone from water damage, ensuring it remains dry and functional even in the wettest conditions. It's also a handy way to keep my phone accessible and secure during outdoor activities.Overall, I cannot recommend the Earth Pak Waterproof Backpack enough. Its remarkable ability to keep my gear dry, even when exposed to heavy rain, is a testament to its quality and durability. Whether you're an avid camper, hiker, or traveler, this backpack is an essential companion that will not disappoint. Invest in this outstanding backpack, and you'll never have to worry about your belongings getting wet again.

I'm leaving this review a little late, but now I'm really able to sing the bag's (and the company's) praises.I'm a charter boat captain, and this has been my go bag since I bought it four years ago. Perfect size for my warm layers, foul weather gear, and miscellaneous items like knife, flashlight, documents, etc. It's been rained on, hosed down, even dropped in the water, and my gear is always dry.Recently the non-waterproof zipper on the outer front pocket failed, and I contacted Earth Pak just to see if they offered a repair service; I'd have happily paid.I was not, however, offered a repair service, but what I did receive after sending a photo of the failed zipper and a copy of my original invoice was a brand new replacement bag fully covered by their most excellent five year warranty. Highly recommend.

Bag performed as descripted, it kept the items dry. I ordered the 35L which was prefect sized for towels, extra clothes and other items such as bottles of water, sun screen, etc... for two people with room to spare.Only gave 4 stars because of the waterproof phone pouch. The strap came undone and my phone sank to the sea floor. Thankfully we were snorkeling inside the reef in Belize so it wasn't a deep dive to retrieve it. Buy the bag but don'Bagt use the waterproof pouch until they fix the strap.

I got the 35L, and it’s BIG. Still carry-on size for airlines and a comfortable size to wear as a backpack, but plenty of storage. The color looks neon yellow in photos, but in person it’s more dandelion-crayon yellow (love that).Pros:-Roomy storage, and the roll-down top means the bag is only as big as the amount of stuff you put in it-The rubber material is thick, feels durable. I own DryBag bags (which are also great) but this material is clearly superior.-The back and straps are padded.-Lots of securing straps (across the face of the bag, across the top, and across your chest)-I appreciate the front pocket, I don’t want to dig around for things I need often-there are a couple small internal pockets-clearly waterPROOF.-the warranty is niceCons:-It’s basically one big bucket of a bag, not much in the way of compartments. I’m fine with that, I hate opening compartments trying to find things.-Less padding than standard backpacks, but enough padding to serve its purpose.Honestly 10/10 great buy.

My son used this for a week-long trip canoeing dozens of miles around in the Minnesota-Canadian border area (Boundary Waters Canoe Area). With this and a similar, much smaller model, he could carry most of the gear he needed for the week (tent, food barrels, and fishing rod aside). This one housed his sleeping bag, various layers of changes of clothes, outerwear for rain and cooler hours of the day, mess kit and food prep supplies, toiletries, a modest sized tackle kit, first aid kit, meds, his backup canteen amd his water filtration, shoes, stuff he needed for class (this was for college credit)...the capacity was great for his needs. When not in use, he easily strapped his canoe seat cushion and life vest to the outside, along with other tidbits he kept for easy reach. He is an underweight guy, and found this pack to bear its load comfortably as they portaged overland (sometimes as far as a mile); we appreciate soind design and good padding. It kept stuff quite dry and didn't sustain any compromising wear and tear. Buckles and bits operated smoothly and dependably. Outer straps and spots to clip things to made for handy space to attach stuff that were easier to keep on the outside. We're really happy with the quality and how well it suited his needs. We certainly recommend it for similar situations.In the picture, this bag is the light gray and black one with the silver cup fastened to it. We hope it gives good reference on size (we bought the largest one, 80 or 80-some L capacity. Also, kid is about 5'8" or 5'9").

Love it. Spacious but not obnoxiously large. I’m able to fit everything I need for the boat, it’s now my “go bag” so I can hit the water at the drop of a dime.

Used as a stuff sack to tie onto my motorcycle passenger seat for touring. Made for a perfect back rest! After two months on the road of daily riding, this bag still looks brand new! Very durable and easy to use. Love it!

Waterproof, big enough, comfortable and fast delivery. Very happy

Good bag, solid and easy to clean. Straps are comfortable only thing missing would be a larger internal storage section for a laptop. Very happy and would recommend.

Made of good quality, can hold a lot of stuff like it very much and the straps are very comfortable, will purchase again

Ürünü hacim bilgisine çok dikkat etmeden kışlık şehir kullanımı için aldım, bilgisayar ve diğer malzemeleri yağışlı havalarda rahat taşımak için ancak o kadar büyük ki maalesef pratik bulmadığım için kullanamadım.Ama doğa yürüyüşleri ve seyahatler için çok hafif ve sağlam bir ürün.

Exactly what I expected... Worth every CENT...
