Waterproof Dry Bag 26L - Airtight Zipper Backpack & Duffel Bag for Travel, Motorcycle, Bike, Hiking & Camping Gear | Durable Outdoor Sports Equipment for Kayaking, Beach, Swimming & Water Activities (Black)

First thing I did with this bag is swap out the bright blue bungee strap with parachord, then I lubed the zipper. After that this bag has been very reliable. I have put it through two waterfowl seasons. As you can see I sometime float the bag and use it to set things on. I have never babied this bag and it has held up very well. The bag also traveled for a week through a back country canoe trip as our food bag for four guys. This bag has been overloaded almost every time I’ve used it and it has never failed me. Great bag, especially compared to some of the overpriced competition.I liked it so much I also bought their duffle.This backpack is so cool! My husband and I kayak in the summer, and before we bought this backpack, our gear was always getting wet when we went through rapids, even small ones. This pack keeps ALL the water out. It is large, and has tons of room for all your stuff, plus pockets and keychain clips on the inside for your small things.Because it is so water and air-tight, if you are going to leave it in your car on a hot summer's day, I recommend leaving the zipper partly open to allow trapped hot air to escape, or your pack could pop like a can of biscuits (hasn't happened to me, just a recommendation).I think I paid about $50 for this pack after scouring Amazon for days trying to find the right one to meet our needs. Needless to say, it's totally worth it! The YETI one that is super similar, down to the material, color, and overall shape, was over $200, so I feel like I got a pretty good deal!!!I have yet to put this bag through the ringer in the wild but so far I am impressed. It's definitely air tight - I closed the bag and squeezed hard without any deflation or air escaping. There is an internal zipper mesh pocket, which is practical to store items, as well as an additional internal back panel organizer. The organizer isn't going to store much though and not as practical. The zipper is difficult to grip since there is no "zipper pull" but i bought one cheap and it makes the zipper much easier to use. I also didn't like the bungee cord color on bag and replaced this with a cheap one and now it looks better. As a cheap alternative to the Yeti backpack, I am glad I found this one and excited to test it more thoroughly. I will update this review after a summer of wear. Using primarily for fly fishing in the rocky mountains and will bring camping to keep valuables dry. Wish there was some kind of molle panel like on the yeti backpack to attach things to.This backpack is exactly what I was looking for. I needed a waterprook pack to use fly fishing the MA and NH coast. For the price, it can't be beaten. Waterproof fly fishing backpacks typically cost 6 times the price of this pack. The seams are solidly welded. The straps are comfortable, and the chest strap relieves stress on your shoulders. It has a strong zipper that isn't difficult to open. There are a couple of additional slim pockets on the inside of the pack. There is enough room to easily fit 2- Cliff's Bugger Beast boxes and a packable rain jacket.I ordered the 30L size to carry my camera with a long lens attached in my kayak. I've only used it once but everything in the pack remained dry, and expect it to perform well for some time. There's plenty of room for my camera and a few other items, and room to add some foam padding which I plan to do.Looks as advertised; haven't tested it yet, but planning to this weekend for some snapper fishing!Good for the price, the bag is water proof and I have taken it on multiple over night canoe trips and I use it as a dry bag on the boat. I haven’t had issues with it yet but but the zipper seems the same as the RTIC bag coolers.I haven't had a chance to put it to use yet, but the zippers are definitely airtight. The seams' glue looks questionable to me at spots. I will put it to some use and give an update.
