Not as Waterproof as Advertised

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, this so-called waterproof backpack is a joke. After a few miles on the boat, my clothes were completely soaked. The only positive is that the backpack is spacious enough for all my gear. The negative is that it failed in its one job, to keep my belongings dry. Don't waste your money on false advertising.

Pros
  • Waterproof material ensures protection of items
Cons
  • Limited capacity compared to other backpacks

Durable, keeps my stuff dry

I used this package for a long trip by boat that lasted 12 hours. The waterproof backpack did the trick and kept everything dry. The only downside was that it was heavy and didn't have many pockets for individual items.

Pros
  • INCREDIBLY STRONG AND DURABLE MATERIAL - Made from durable 500D PVC canvas to reduce weight and protect contents from the elements.
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, everything is fine

Should be marked "Not waterproof ".

I bought this bag to carry a lot of gear to and from the beach and river. We are an active family with 3 boys. When I actually tested it in the water for the first time, both the main compartment (3-fold) and the outer zip pocket were filled with water. Soaking my leather wallet and iPhone (luckily a 12). Only trust this bag for splashes and rain.

Pros
  • STAY DRY ON THE MOVE. Perfect roomy backpack for heavy rain or extreme water sports like kayaking, sea kayaking, boating, snowmobiling and more. Waterproof material keeps all your gear dry and protected while you're out and about.
Cons
  • No Power
