Review on Skog Å Kust BackSåk Waterproof Floating Backpack: 25L & 35L Sizes with Exterior Zippered Pocket by Robert Rick

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great backpack! I liked it so much that I bought a 2nd one! :)

Absolutely LOVE this 35 liter pack. I bought it in bright yellow! :) I was planning a sailing trip from Oahu to Maui and needed a good duffel bag to pack my stuff. When the boat capsizes things can sometimes be thrown around. Cabin soles can get wet so I wanted something to keep all my stuff dry but it was still a reasonable price. The last time I sailed to Maui I made the mistake of using a regular duffel bag which resulted in some of my clothes getting wet on the inside. This time I wanted a stuff sack! Found this dry bag while browsing Revain. I originally bought a 60 liter duffel bag from Såk Gear but after receiving it I realized that 60 liters is a bit more than I need. I sent the 60L back (easy return with UPS!) and bought the 35L instead. Of all the drybag backpacks I've tested, this one is the best! It's roomy enough to easily fit everything, but not too big to be impractical to carry around. The 35L has a padded back and padded shoulder straps, making it more comfortable to carry. There is also a buckle strap that goes across the chest. I especially like the two zippered pockets. I use the inner zip pocket to stash my phone/wallet which keeps it dry and also makes it easy to access my phone/wallet quickly. The outside pocket with zip is great for a few little things that I might need more often, such as lip balm, sunscreen, etc. Tip: buy packing cubes. Packsacks usually consist of one large compartment. To organize my things a little better, I bought some packing cubes to store clothes, toiletries, towels, etc. myself. Overall a great dry bag. It cost $54.95 plus free shipping with Revain Prime. I live in Hawaii so shipping is usually more expensive than the mainland so any carriers that offer Revain Prime are great in my opinion! :)*** EDIT: March 13, 2020 I loved this 35 liter bag so much I bought a second, smaller 25 liter bag in mint for hiking. The price went up a bit to $59.95 for a smaller bag, but I'm happy to pay! Great quality, big fan! In addition, the new model has several additional compartments INSIDE the bag. I recommend!
