Dry bag daypack

A dry bag daypack in PVC with welded seams and a sealed zip top, holding 30 litres.

• The PVC body is waterproof in itself and the seams are welded, which leaves no coating to wear off and no rain cover to lose in the wind.
• 30 litres keeps a day's kit and a change of clothes dry, in a shape that holds its form when the bag is half empty.
• A heavy sealed zip closes the main compartment at the top, with a grab handle above it and a front D-ring for keys or a torch.
• Mesh front panel with bungee cord to keep a soaked jacket outside, plus a side mesh pocket for a bottle.
• Estuary mud or beach sand rinses off the smooth PVC face under a tap, and it dries instead of holding water in the weave.

Dry bag daypack in welded PVC

A rain cover keeps water out of the fabric and sends it straight into the seams, which is where most walking packs give up on a wet weekend. The Hikers Day Pack Waterproof takes the other route, with a PVC body, welded seams and a sealed zip across the top that keep thirty litres of clothing, food and electronics dry in the rain. Padded shoulder straps and a chest strap make it carry like a rucksack rather than a dry bag slung on one shoulder, and the reflective strip at the top helps on a late walk back to the car. The bag is rated for fishing, diving, beach days and camping as well as hill walking. It also works as the dry liner inside a bigger canvas pack.
