Comfort wise, the straps do their job and it was easy to carry on the motorcycle or when walking. The capacity is aready sufficient at the minimum size (straped tight) but I know it can take a lot more. That the last bag I was considering taking for the trip but that was really the perfect one. I'll use it every time I know it'll be wet and muddy. ORIGINAL REVIEW ----------------------------------------- I usually review only things I absolutely like or items I regret having bought. This bag here seems of excellent quality for this kind of price, although I have yet to really test it. The shoulder straps are pretty thin but this should be OK for those using this backpack with jackets. If it's not your case, you can get some cheap shoulder pads to add some comfort (I'll probably do it myself). Two tights pockets inside (zipped and a net), big enough for documents or a phone. The bottom doesn't have any reinforment cover, so the main seams are exposed. It's probably best not to drag it on a rough surface, like a road. But we all know that items of this price range must be handled with a certain care anyway. What actually really impresses me is the phone case. First it was there (some review said they didn't have one). It's made of the same material as the bag with a hard shell at the bottom. The closing mechanism is easy to operate and pinches the case tightly closed. Now, the most impressive part is actually that this case fits my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with its rugged case on (Spigen Tough Armour). A nearly 7 inch screen phone with a big rubber case. Really astonishing! I thought it would go straight to the bin but this waterproof phone case is actually really useful. I can still operate the screen through the plastic and it'll be good to have when using my phone as satnav on the motorcycle and rainy days. (Apologise for the bad pictures, I couldn't use my phone...) Review: My go to bag, super strong and waterproof - Ive had this bag a long time now and about to purchase another. If you want a well made, strong and durable wet pak, i can highly recommend this backpack. It has a handy pocket on the front with a very sturdy zip, strong arm straps and is large enough to carry all my gear when backpacking, camping and kayaking. This bag really does stand up to being thrown around and treated ruff but still stays waterproof ## Features - Waterproof dry bag: Made from commercial-grade, abrasion resistant 500D PVC with fully thermowelded seams that keep gear dry through kayaking, sailing, boating, canoeing and paddleboarding. - Roll top dry bag design: Roll the top down and clip it shut for a secure waterproof seal, built to last for years of rugged use on the water. - Sizes from 5L to 85L: The 10L and larger sizes come with an adjustable shoulder strap, the 40L and 55L waterproof backpacks add backpack-style straps with a sternum strap, and the 55L also has a heavy-duty waist belt. - Included IPX8 waterproof phone case: A 6.5 inch IPX8 certified phone case with a snap and lock closure and dual clear windows comes included, so you can shoot photos from the water without opening your dry bag. - Lightweight and travel-ready: This dry bag folds down compact enough to pack in any luggage, ready for kayak trips, boat days, canoeing and beach outings, and it makes a thoughtful gift for the paddler, boater or angler in your life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074MGP4L6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,010 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 28 in Boat Dry Bags | | Brand Name | Earth Pak | | Capacity | 55 litres | | Closure Type | Zipper | | Colour | Yellow | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 9,375 Reviews | | Handle Type | Web Handle | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 41L x 25W x 53H centimetres | | Item Highlight | Yellow 55L roll top dry bag in abrasion resistant 500D PVC - keeps gear dry on kayak, boat and paddleboard trips | | Item Type Name | waterproof backpack | | Item Weight | 2.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Earth Pak | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1 | | Material Type | Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) | | Model Number | 1 | | Number of Compartments | 3 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pattern | Striped | | Pocket Description | Large front zip pocket, interior mesh pocket | | Shell Type | Soft | | Size | 55L | | Strap Type | Shoulder Strap | | Style Name | travel backpack | | UPC | 850039653261 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Wheel Type | No Wheels | ## Images ![Waterproof Dry Bag 55L - Roll Top Sack for Kayaking Sailing Boating | Yellow 55L roll top dry bag in abrasion resistant 500D PVC - keeps gear dry on kayak, boat and paddleboard trips - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715Uz18IOeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many cans of beer can I fit in this bag? Are the straps sturdy enough to support the weight?** A: I wouldn't recommend keeping beer in this, as it won't stay cold. Search for Icemule for a cooler/drybag. That being said, if you are looking to get an idea of what 35L means in real terms, you could easily get a 30 pack of cans in here. If you also put ice in there, it would be heavy as heck and it wouldn't be comfortable to carry. I use this in the dry storage in my kayak to put clothes and towels, first aid kit, lunch, and so forth in. It works great for that. It's not a cooler, if you want a drybag cooler this is not it. Again look into Icemule, i believe their largest offering has backpack straps. **Q: Is this material 500D?** A: Yes. its 500d PVC material **Q: Is the bag comfortable to carry?** A: It's like any other pack. I'm more interested in will it to the job at hand which is keeping the contents dry, which it does. It's as comfortable as any other pack that I've owned. **Q: What is height dimension when rolled closed?** A: Pack is about 21 inches high if you fold opening three times for a good seal. If you fold twice you may get another inch. The pack is a good 18 inches wide and has a 6 inch foot on bottom, pretty roomy for waterprooF. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tested in a 7 days motorcycle trip to Wales under serious downpours: worked very well *by S***F on 14 October 2020* EDIT ------------------------------------------------------- I have had a four days trip to Wales on a Motorcycle and we got caught a few times in very serious downpours, one where I got soaked to the bones but this backpack worked well and nothing got wet inside.

If you want a well made, strong and durable wet pak, i can highly recommend this backpack. It has a handy pocket on the front with a very sturdy zip, strong arm straps and is large enough to carry all my gear when backpacking, camping and kayaking. This bag really does stand up to being thrown around and treated ruff but still stays waterproof ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's in the bag! *by L***K on 17 October 2024* Things I liked about this Earth Pak 35 litre rucksack: Fully water resistant rolltop design, chest and waist straps for stability and comfort when fully loaded, strong loop handle for hand carrying /hanging to store, reflective strip - helpful for walking /cycling in poor visibility, d-rings on both shoulder straps (for external carry; such as sunglasses case, small pouch, headphones case etc...), 35 litre capacity - I fitted sweatshirt. 10 inch tablet (in slip case), 15 inch laptop (in neoprene sleeve), tech pouch (for charging cables, plugs, USB flash drives), GorillaPod SLR mini tripod + smartphone clamp (in neoprene case), 1l water bottle, A5 sized notepad, and had loads of room to spare! 35l size weighs approx. 650g when empty - I weighed it. The bag is very comfortable to wear on long walks - the back panel is well padded. Wide choice of colours - I went for black, for everyday use. As an added bonus Earth Pak supply a water resistant phone pouch which can protect your smartphone at the beach! (My new phone is slightly too big to fit this). The only downsides are those inherent to the rolltop design - no ability to lock the bag, and slow to open and close. No internal organization - small mesh pocket & key clip only. (i use two tech organizer pouches I already own for organization). No external bungee cords - for external carry. There are no external water bottle pockets, so you either have to open the main compartment or externally hang your water bottle (you will have to supply your own carabiner). 100% recommended by me! ## Frequently Bought Together - Earth Pak Waterproof Backpack - Heavy Duty Hiking Backpack - Roll-Top Closure Bag - Cushioned Dry Bag Waterproof Phone Case - Earth Pak Waterproof Dry Bag - Roll Top Waterproof Backpack Sack Keeps Gear Dry for Kayak with Waterproof Phone Case - Earth Pak Waterproof Dry Bag with Zippered Pocket - Waterproof Dry Bag Backpack Keeps Gear Dry --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/115752772-waterproof-dry-bag-55l-roll-top-sack-for-kayaking-sailing](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/115752772-waterproof-dry-bag-55l-roll-top-sack-for-kayaking-sailing) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
