Skog Å KustBackSåk Waterproof Floating Backpack with Exterior Zippered Pocket | 25L & 35L Sizes

I bought this for kayaking, fishing, the beach etc. I have been using it everyday for weeks and I'm very happy with it. At first it was sort of uncomfortable but after it got broken in a bit, I love it. It is very much waterproof and light weight. Perfect size for a day pack. Highly recommended!

I can't believe I've been diving for 3 years and just found this bag. It's waaaay bigger than I expected but that turned out to be a good thing! I put my BCD, reg, and all kinds of other crap in it for my carry-on. I'm petite and it's super comfy. I had to check it last trip and it got marks all over it and I was super bummed but they wiped off and it looks like new again! The pockets inside are great since it is so big things tend to get lost when you take it on the boat or around town. I got the Tiffany blue and I look very stylish LOL

I work on a boat and this pack is great. I have the 35L and it seems like it's not that big. Most dry bags don't have inside pockets where this one does. The waves are just a cool added bonus. I had gotten this after my gecko one finally just fell apart after 3 years. Hopefully this one lasts that long also.

I use this bag daily for commuting on my bike to work. I am not gentle with it. I swing it off my shoulder, overstuff it with groceries, and stuff the outside pocket with bike accessories. If you need a rain-proof bag for commuting, buy this. If you need something you will use daily AND need to completely submerge it in water (e.g., you are a water rafting instructor) then buy something at a higher price point. At about 1 year a few small holes cropped up where the bag is folded. So after 1 year of daily use it was no longer useable for full submersion, but was still very rain proof. At about 1.5 years the front zipper started to split. At around 1.75 years the stitching on one of the straps started coming undone. I think I've got ~6 more months with this bag, then I'll probably buy another of this exact bag.

Large area, waterproof, seals great, looks fantastic and sturdy and secure fit as a backpack. Worth the money.

Took the 35L size to Costa Rica for hiking and beach days. This kept my precious artwork dry while walking around during a rainstorm. I also used this as my airplane carry on bag and it easily fit in the overhead compartment of the plane. I could have got away with the 25L but opted for the 35L. This size easily fit towels, water, shoes, snacks, hat, phone, etc. for a beach excursion. It was pretty comfortable to wear while walking around shopping, hiking and a day at the beach. I got several compliments and like the bright color. Easily wipes down on the inside and outside. For reference I am 5'8" and 147 lbs.

This bag is great. Waterproof, just enough internal pockets/organization, plastic hardware that won't rust, and plenty of print/color options. It's an almost perfect day bag for boat stuff.I just wish it was a bit smaller. If they make a 18/20-liter version with the same features, I'd totally buy it.

I have not used this bag long enough to yet rate it 5 stars, as I don't know the long term durability, but it performed exactly as I wanted. I bought the bag for a trip to the Galagos Islands. I knew I would be in a cloud forest in Ecuador and on the islands during the rainy season. I also knew I would be in kayaks and other boats. I used it as my primary backpack as well. I did a jungle hike through a misty cloud forest in the Andes, lashed it to a kayak for some bird and iguana watching, and used it for hiking around the islands. I was also looking at the Sea-to-Summit version of a dry back that can be carried like a backpack but settled on this one for two reasons: 1) cost--this is significantly cheaper; and 2) the external and internal pockets. For the cost it does seem well made and durable. It survived planes, boats, kayaks, hikes in 95 degree plus days, being dragged through the sand, thrown on volcanic rock, being thrown into busses and taxis. It held up great. I really liked the external pocket--this is a feature not found in the other dry bag/backpacks I was looking at. I would put my passport, money and other items I wanted easy access to in there. That pocket is not water tight, but it is splash resistant--it withstood significant splashing. There is also an internal pocket that was nice to use for keeping phone charger cables, extra batteries and other items easily accessible. The bag is large enough so it can hold a lot of stuff, which is both good and bad. I never lacked for space but then I would also sometimes overload it. The only drawback, and this is true for all dry bags, is accessing items in the bag. It is one large pocket, and so one should put items one wants to access quickly such as field guides, rain jackets etc, near the top of the bag. Otherwise you end up taking a lot of stuff out to access items in the bottom of the bag. A TSA check proved this point (I accidentally left my Leatherman in the bag and it took a bit for the TSA agent to dig it out--lost a good knife as a result of my carelessness.) The only suggestion I would make would be to add a flexible mesh external pocket, maybe on the side, where one can put a water bottle. But it worked just as I hoped it would.

I use this bag on my winter commutes just to be sure to have dry items when I reach our office. So far so good. There is little condensation forming inside the main compartment even on extended rides. Also ridden with it on a "slushy" rain days and still holds up! My only gripe is that there is no water bottle side pockets but I can still stow my bottle inside the bag anyway due to it being big.

This is a very well constructed bag, except for the arm strap. I had it loaded up to take on the water and the strap came clean off.However, this does not affect its water performance, which is fantastic. It is a great bag to lash on to a kayak or canoe, can fit a lot. I especially like the 2 securing option, either at the top, or the sides.Skog a Kust's customer service was fantastic and replaced the bag for me upon proof of the defect.

We ordered this for my hubby who goes to the gym on his bike. So far, it's kept all his clothing dry and has more than enough space for everything. We've even taken it to do our groceries so we don't have to lug our cart in the snow. Stitches seem to be holding up well and he says it feel comfortable on his back. Would recommend.

I use this for my daily cycle commute. It always keeps my clothes dry. The rubbery-rigideness of the bag shape allows me to fold clothes and place them inside without worries of wrinkles during my nearly thirty minute (hard) commute. Excellent value. The colour lends itself too nicely for early morning commutes.

I use it for bike commuting to work. 20km in total. Comfortable, spacious and waterproof. And cheap. Perfect!
