Review: The Bottomless bag! - I recently switched to this backpack after using a North face Surge backpack that I bought in August 2016. That bag was fine for dry days but when it rained it did let in water which was a poor design for a laptop back. So after a colleague recommended an Overboard bag I decided to give it a go. I travel daily by train which means I spend a lot of time walking too and from train stations. The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier these days so I needed a bag that would put up with the harsh weather. The bag I was using previously was a 30L but I was amazed at just how much more space I have in this bag, Its like Mary Poppins bag. I have been able to merge my two bags down to this one bag (Gym duffle and laptop backpack) and I still have room. There are no compartments inside this bag its literally just a sack so if you have anything you want to keep handy its probably worth buying a little neoprene case for them, for example keys. You can buy an Overboard laptop insert for about £15 but I am just using an desertcartBasics neoprene laptop sleeve for £8. An example of what I am able to carry in this bag: 1x pair of running trainers 1x large microfibre towel 1x pair of shorts 1x T-Shirt 1x pair of socks & boxers 1x MacBook Air 13" in neoprene sleeve 1x laptop charger 1x large sports bottle 1x large lunch box 1x small case that holds keys, wallet, usb keys etc 1x Coat ....There is still room in the bag! Reluctantly I did drop my bag into a bath full of water to test it and it did keep everything dry.
Review: Fantastic. More spatious than it looks, Light, Sturdy, No nonsense. - Love it. Opened flat measures 50cm x 70cm. Closed drops to about 55cm. Depth is about 15cm but it bulges more if you need to without any problem. It is more spacious than I thought, which is great, it has a single big compartment inside, material is all rubber, completely waterproof (some parts have an extra nylon layer for nice looks). Convenient side pocket for a bottle, and 3 hooks on the front to hang more stuff. Also comes with a carabine and a metal ring (useful to hang your keys on one of the hooks). I can easily fit two kayak seats for the Sevylor SK100 DS (with some room left for food), or two drop-stitch floors for Sevylor SK100 DS plus a big hand pump 2800 cm^3 ... I'll probably buy another one so both me and my wife can carry all the bits for our two SK100 DS (drop-stick floors, pump, seats, etc), except paddles and main kayak body. Previously we were hassling strapping all that on the bikes with bungee cords. The shoulder straps are wide and padded but could have had a little more padding (I'm a little skinny), though I'm not bothered since our main usage would be to carry the kayak bits to the river while cycling.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would the internal pocket fit a laptop? Or to be more precise a 17inch Mac Book.**
A: As mentioned there is no separate internal pocket, just the main bag, however, this does fit a 17 inch Mac book. I use it to commute with mine every day. Can easily fit Mac, gym stuff, change of shoes etc.

**Q: Had it 10 months now it has started to have very thin white hair like stuff coming out of the seams, this normal? what can i do?**
A: I have a LOMO bag - this has happened to it too but LOMO instructions explain it is normal, not a fault, and does not affect integrity of bag / waterproofing

**Q: Hey i would like to buy this product and was wondering as i am buying from ireland can you deduct english vat from this price so i don't pay vat twice**
A: hi, you can purchase through our websitge without paying VAT, you'll need to contact Amazon to purchase through them as they control all the payment etc

**Q: Hi my son rides a motorcycle and wants a waterproof bag that he will be able to fit his motorcycle helmit into . Will it fit in this bag ?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, but front strap not made for women...
*by C***I on 14 October 2015*

Very good waterproof backpack. The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is two-fold: 1. Although the pictures are accurate, the details described are plain wrong: 2 way closure system (top or side) - had me thinking there was a side zip or something. There is only 1 way to open and close this backpack: roll it up from the top. Elasticated front webbing - nope, not there. Adjustable sternum strap and waist belt - nope, there is no waist belt. 2 x outer Elasticated side pockets and a top carry handle - nope, there is only 1 side pocket. 1 x large internal zip pocket - nope, completely absent. 2. This backpack is clearly designed for men. That is fine, but would have been useful to have been mentioned. The adjustable sternum strap is too low down so that in its highest possible setting, it will still sit uncomfortably on boobs. Its lowest setting would be directly under the boobs - which is quite obviously not ideal either... If it could have simply been allowed to go further upwards, it would have been fine. Again, all fine - if mentioned - a picture of someone wearing it would be helpful (also to judge its actual size). I have resolved to not closing the strap as I only use it for my 15-min cycle commute. Otherwise, very good: spacious (lunch, entire hand bag and waterproofs go in easily), but not too large, looks waterproof and durable (not had it for long enough to attest to this), and is reflective. Hence still 4 stars.
