Know before you buy
This bag is fully waterproof. It utilizes a roll-top closure system combined with TPU-coated NewStream fabric to ensure your gear stays dry even in heavy rain or during accidental submersion.
You can do both. The bag includes adjustable, removable backpack straps, allowing you to wear it comfortably on your back for longer treks, or you can use the haul handles for standard duffel-style carrying.
The magnets are embedded in the top opening to help align the material before you roll it down. This makes the initial sealing process much easier and more secure than trying to hold the opening shut manually while you begin the roll.
No, the main compartment is a single, large open space designed for maximum capacity and waterproofing. You will need to use your own packing cubes or dry bags if you want to keep smaller items separated inside.
The four heavy-duty TPU-coated tie-down points allow you to lash the bag securely to a raft, truck bed, or roof rack. They are essential for keeping the bag stable during rough transit or outdoor adventures.
The external pocket is designed for quick access to essentials, but it is not fully submersible like the main compartment. We recommend keeping only water-resistant items like keys or tools in that pocket.
