Ettore - 30L Rucksack
The backpack by Ettore is 100% waterproof and it is well made, it has a 30L capacity and includes inside storage that is easily accessible using the roll top opening, on the outside there are 2 x bottle holders that have a zippered adjustment along with elasticated mesh that will adjust to suit most 750ml bottles.It is made from a durable tarpaulin and has heat welded seams, some of the seams are fraying a little but there have been no signs of water ingress on my recent outing.The rucksack is comfortable to wear and although the material can appear rigid it loosens up a little in time, to wear it feels comfortable and it includes plenty of adjustment that make it feel secure when on the bike, there is shoulder, waist and chest adjustment to help pin it in place, the carry handle on the top is small but adequate enough to allow a comfortable grip when carrying.The inside storage allows for a 17" laptop and includes a zippered pocket at the front, on the outside there is a waterproof pocket at the front, depending on how full the bag is then this area maybe a tight squeeze for your items.I like the reflective pattern on the front of the bag, it looks pretty neat and it works well to stand out in low lighting conditions, there are reflective steps on the shoulder straps also.The roll top is used by sandwiching the top together then giving it a few rolls and then pulling the back buckle through the handle and looping it into one of three loops on the front, I aim to use the top loop this then allows me to clip my light on when in low lighting conditions.Overall, I like the quality and the design of this bag, I have not heard of this brand before but looking into them they appear to be a solid company with good cycling products on offer, this bag doesn't look out of place on the bike and it will surly protect the contents in all weather conditions, I like the bottle and the inside storage options, rugged and well made this bag will last a very long time, thank you.

Great backpack for the British weather
This is a great dry bag rucksack for the unpredictable British weather. The roll top closure system and waterproof construction will keep even the worst rain out. I’m not sure if it would be suitable as a drybag that can be submerged and still remain fully dry inside but most people wouldn’t be wanting it for this purpose. The main compartment is surprisingly big. There a Velcro sleeve pocket on the inside that would suit a tablet or similar items as well as a small zipped compartment. On the outside there are 2 expandable bottle holders that can be zipped up when not in use. There is also a small zipped compartment on the outside of the bag. The shoulder straps are adjustable and there are also chest and waist straps which are adjustable too. This should enable most people to get a secure comfortable fit. The bag also has reflective detailing on the straps and the back of the bag to ensure you are visible if out cycling on the roads. The bag is a little heavy but this is to be expected due to the materials required to make it waterproof. Worth noting, the instructions aren’t for the right bag, they suggest rolling the top and clipping a buckle at each side whereas this bag just has one slide clip in the middle.

Sturdy, perfectly waterproof suitable as a carry on albeit a bit heavy
As someone who enjoys cycling occasionally, I needed a backpack that could handle everything from commuting to day trips, and even serve as a carry-on for travel. This rucksack has proven to be a versatile and reliable choice. Its waterproof construction is a major plus, keeping my belongings dry in unexpected showers.While designed for cyclists, I found it surprisingly comfortable for everyday use. The adjustable straps distribute the weight well, and the compressibility is handy when I don't need to carry a lot. The internal organization is good, although the laptop compartment sits a bit high. It's been accepted as a carry-on, but it's definitely pushing the size limits.My only real gripe is the weight. It's a bit heavier than I'd prefer, but that's the trade-off for its robust construction. If you're looking for a truly waterproof and durable bag, this rucksack is worth considering. Just be mindful of the size and weight, especially if you plan to use it as a carry-on.

Good design and build quality
This waterproof rucksack is perfect for me as I cycle every day to work. I used to use a rucksack cover but this never worked out well in a torrential downpour.This rucksack is the perfect solution as it guarantees all of your possessions stay dry.The rucksack is made of a plastic type material that is supple and can cope well with holding lots of items. Being a commuter I take quite a few tools in case of punctures or chain issues so need a rucksack that has decent depth and width. This 30l is a touch too small for my needs and it sits quite high on my back so the waist strap is high on my waste which makes it slightly uncomfortable when riding. Obviously I have adjusted straps to compensate but then the rucksack slides further down your back which also makes it uncomfortable.The rucksack has internal pockets and external ones as well. The ones on the side expand so are perfect for water bottles.I’m going to use this rucksack for dog walks which is perfect with the side pockets for easy access to poo bags and treats.Highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic!
I work in a hospital and cycle to work daily, when it's raining however, my scrubs would often get wet. This however has completely removed the issue! It's such great quality snd has a ton of space inside. Comfortable to wear and definitely waterproof. Super happy and great value!
