Written by Lydia Burdett /

Whether you’re exploring trails at the weekend, paddleboarding at sea, or cycling with the family, spending time outdoors is always improved by the company of a great bag that keeps your belongings safe and equipment ready to use. However, anybody who ever spends much time in the great outdoors will also know that you can’t always predict what will happen next and whichever bag you do take with you will need to keep your adventure supplies protected from exposure to the natural elements. This is where a waterproof bag can come in.

The best waterproof bag will not only keep your belongings dry when it’s raining but also give you peace of mind about exposure to sweat, mud and oil on a challenging hike or dropping something in the water when you’re exploring on your Red paddleboard. It’s an item of kit where quality really does matter, which is why our team have spent years carefully developing and curating the ultimate range of waterproof bags. Read on to discover the perfect waterproof bag for you from the Red range.
