Lightweight, robust & versatile

Been putting this through its paces over the last 2 weeks in South Wales. If I’m not paddling, I’m generally found walking. Love the fact this bag works for both my passions. Great for carrying towels & gear for after paddling, but it’s also been amazing for walking. Lightweight, comfy to carry & perfect size for full days up and down coastal paths. I can reach a bottle in the side pocket without needing to stop & take the bag off (definite bonus!) plus I personally have been soaked through by the rain several times but our lunch & gear stayed perfectly dry. Great bit of kit.

Keeping it in the family...

With the number of other branded waterproof backpacks available why would you purchase RED's version?

Well, I'm glad we did! This is a quality product built around a sensible design at a great price. The material really is lightweight but tough and super flexible not to be a hindrance. We were glad we got the 22l version, not to big and not to small. A perfect addition to our paddle adventure days!

Super happy with this bag

I've been in the market for waterproof bag but never really found exactly what I've been looking for until this came out. I wanted higher capacity, stretch panels, roll top, a few pockets, and the Bungie attachments. This bag absolutely fit the bill, and I'm super happy with it. I purchased it for fishing, mountain ice skating, and water trips on sup/kayaking. Great purchase and it completely fit the bill for me.

AMAZING! 100km trek through the Sahara

I used this bag as my hiking day pack when I hiked 100KM through the Sahara desert last November. It was epic. The things I really loved was that it's so lightweight you don't have bulk to start with. The little stash compartment on the waist strap was perfect for lip balm or small snacks. I added a water bladder and it worked out fine. Great to have outer compartments for essentials. We didn't have any rain but the sand and dust just brushed off really well and still looked smart. I also used this as my under seat luggage on the plane and the size was perfect.
