This backpack is made from the same rubberised material as the cylindrical waterproof bags that are referred to as Dry Bags. It has welded seams all round and a roll down top opening with multiple plastic buckles to hold it in place.The backpack consists of the main internal compartment which has a small mesh pocket on the inside (with no way to fasten) and a single zip up pocket on the outside.The bonus of this backpack over a normal dry bag is you can wear this as a rucksack so your hands are free. As well as the shoulder straps there is a waist strap and a chest strap to prevent the backpack from moving about even during vigorous movements.As the backpack has no frame to it and it is quick flexible, the shape is completely dictated by what you put into it, so you will need to pack carefully to ensure you don't have objects sticking into your back.The roll down top will keep water out on a quick dunk but not for prolonged submerging like that of swimming.I would say the backpack is ideal for hiking in monsoon conditions or water sport like kayaking or paddle boarding where splashes etc are to be expected and you want the contents of the bag to stay dry.Overall, a great combination of a rucksack and a dry bag ideal for many outdoor activities, just a shame there is not more internal organisation options.

Pros:I used this backpack for camping this past weekend and oh boy, was I impressed. Guess what? Even in the downpour, everything inside turned out dry. It's a best mate to have in any outdoor activity.The rucksack's tough materials held up great in rough terrain and constant use. This tells clearly that the bag is made to last.I could fit all my basics in with room to spare. The compartments allowed easy access to all contents and made it pretty organised.Hiking in this rucksack wasn't a problem at all. The straps and back panel were comfortable, so even when full, it doesn't feel burdensome.Beyond camping, this rucksack has proved useful for other activities like hiking and commuting. It seems to have become my all-purpose bag for any kind of travel.Verdict:This rucksack has been excellent in my recent camping trip in keeping my gear dry and organised through every challenge we have faced. Durability and comfort are the reasons why it has taken first place not only for your outdoor adventures but in everyday life too. I would suggest you try out this one if you're looking for a nice, all-around rucksack.

If you are familiar with dry bags, then you will not be surprised by the initial impression of this bag. It looks like a dry bag in terms of the uniform shape, tough waterproof material and with the standard mechanism for sealing it at the top to keep the content dry. Turn it over though and it has all the straps that you would expect on a hiking rucksack: pads on the back, two shoulder straps and two cross straps Whilst this bag does have one zip-up pouch it lacks the additional compartments, water bottle holders, clips etc that a lot of modern hiking rucksacks often have. The padding on the back and on the shoulder straps is fairly basic. Inside there is a single mesh pocket that can help you organise contents but other than that it is a single large compartment. There is a reflector on the back for visibility.While I have no doubt that this is waterproof, I would not plan to use this as a hiking rucksack unless I was going somewhere where immersion in water (e.g. wading through water courses) or heavy rain is expected, and it is important to have dry clothes to change into later (e.g. when hiking and camping). Where this could also really come into its own is for transporting equipment in a watery environment where being able to carry it as a rucksack and keep your hands free could be extremely useful. For my standard hiking where I have dry accommodation to return to and having wet rucksack contents is not a disaster, I will stick with a more conventional rucksack with a rain cover when required, but under the right circumstances this one would be very handy.

At the time of this review, you can get this backpack for around £54I ordered this in Taiga green, the colour you can see on the video.This backpack is available in a choice of four colours.This backpack is essentially one long tube of storage with one small mesh pocket inside and a waterproof zipped pocket on the outsideIt has all the usual buckles and belts that you would expect on a backpackThe shoulder straps are padded and the part of the bag that touches your back are a sponge covered in a mesh that provides a space for air circulation.The only concern I have at this time is the quality of construction. Where the bottom of the bag is attached to the top of the sides, I can see white edges on the material so it seems a bit thinly attached whereas the rest of the product feels quite robust..I will see how it performs and if it lets me down I will update this reviewAt the moment and pleased with it. I like the colour. It’s kind of camouflaged to suit whatever you’re wearing unless you wanted bright yellow, which I didn’t.I hope the video of attached gives you a clear idea of what you would get for your money and the review is helpful
