Waterproof cycling backpack

• On this waterproof cycling backpack the top rolls down onto itself and buckles shut, sealing one 30 L volume against rain and spray.
• A waterproof tarpaulin lining keeps soaked kit apart from the dry layer you want on the drive home.
• Bungee cord and side straps across the face hold a cycling helmet or a wet jacket outside the sealed compartment.
• Padded shoulder straps and a top haul handle, so 30 L of gear rides properly on your back on a bike or a long approach.
• Reflective panels on both sides catch headlights on an unlit road, and the welded PVC is the barrier itself.

Waterproof cycling backpack that keeps wet kit apart

On a wet commute or a session on the coast, the problem is rarely the water outside the bag, it is the soaked kit inside soaking everything else. The 30 L drybag backpack deals with both ends of that. Its roll-top seal shuts the weather out of the main volume, while the waterproof tarpaulin lining keeps a dripping wetsuit away from the fleece you want later. At 1300 g empty it is heavier than a stuff sack, which is what a welded PVC shell and a padded harness cost you, and it folds down to 30 x 20 x 10 cm once the kit is out. The bungee cord across the face takes a helmet or a wet jacket, the side straps pull a half load flat against your back, and the reflective patches earn their place on an unlit lane home. Cyclists, paddlers and cadets all end up loading it the same way.
