BackSåk Waterproof Backpack

An IPX-6 rating means the main compartment is designed to withstand powerful water jets from any direction. While it is highly weather-resistant and will keep your gear dry in heavy rain or splashes, it is not intended to be fully submerged underwater for extended periods.

Yes, the BackSåk is designed to float if dropped in the water, provided there is enough air trapped inside when you roll the top shut. This makes it a reliable choice for activities like kayaking or paddleboarding where accidental immersion is possible.

You can secure the roll-top by clipping it to the top handle or by using the side compression clips. The side clips are generally better for cinching the bag down when it isn't fully packed, while the top handle clip provides a more traditional, streamlined look.

The exterior pocket is splash-proof, not fully waterproof. It is ideal for quick-access items like keys or IDs, but you should keep sensitive electronics or valuables in the dedicated interior pocket inside the main waterproof compartment.

The bag features padded, adjustable shoulder straps and a ribbed EVA foam back panel. This design provides necessary cushioning and creates airflow channels to help prevent your back from getting overly sweaty during extended wear.

The 25L is typically sufficient for a day trip or daily commute, fitting a change of clothes and smaller essentials. If you are packing for an overnight excursion or carrying bulky gear like a camera or extra layers, the 35L provides the necessary additional volume.
