An exciting new backpack was launched a couple of days ago after a year of development and testing. It is called DryTide waterproof backpack and it is the first waterproof backpack that (at least to me) looks good. But you be the judge, check out the cover photo and this video that guys at DryTide did about the idea:
The list of features is long and makes it a must have for travelers that want a peace of mind, for everyone that does water sports from surfers, to kayakers, stand up paddlers, people that do sailing, yachting, diving, boating, fishing, hunting, or even just going to the beach. You do not have to throw it into the sea to need it, but it will keep your mind at peace you know, just in case the worst happens. If it does your gear will stay safe and dry inside the backpack. And by the way, it not only protects against water, it also keeps out sand and dust that can sometimes be even worse.
Here is what the backpack packs:)
- Heavy-duty and 100% waterproof material
- High frequency welded seams, no stitches in all vital areas
- Floats on water
- Big 50l waterproof main compartment
- Internal removable laptop pocket with mesh pocket for small items
- Big back pocket with rainproof zipper
- Smaller top pocket with rainproof zipper
- Two side mesh pockets for water bottles
- Elastic strap on the back pocket
- Comfortable shoulder straps and back both padded with non water absorbing foam
- Hip belt
- Top handle
- Bottom loop for drying the backpack
- Backpack dimensions: 60 x 34 x 25cm
- Suitable for your carry on backpack if you are traveling by plane
- Enough room to pack everything you need for a few days
- Keep all your gear safe from water and dust while looking good
For me it’s on the list!
