## Description

Earth Pak Waterproof Backpack with Roll-Top Closure, Front Pocket, Cushioned Back Panel & Phone Case (Yellow, 55L) : desertcart.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

Review: Great bag... - Awesome bag... Got the big one as it rolls down to acceptably sized for general use. Gets all my tech gear to work in a rain storm bone dry on a motorcycle. High visibility and reflective trim is a bonus. The chest strap could be lower and the straps a bit more padded for hikers... But it's brilliant for a motorbike where the pillion seat carries most of the weight. Would buy again... Better value than the Oxford equivalent. Waterproof phone pouch may be useful too 👍
Review: Tested in a 7 days motorcycle trip to Wales under serious downpours: worked very well - 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. 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...)

- Padded back: the weatherproof backpacker backpack has an ergonomically padded back section that provides additional backpack comfort and optimal breathability, so our waterproof bag is the perfect companion even on long outdoors, camping and survival trips
- Padded shoulder straps and chest strap: The Drybag backpack for men and women with reinforced mesh shoulder straps ensures optimal and comfortable wearing comfort.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome quality and fully waterproof
*by A***N on 24 December 2019*

I was looking for a waterproof bag that I expected only to be using for our trip to Bali. Something that could be taken through streams, waterfalls and splashing waves of fast boats between islands. This backpack was exactly that! I got the 35L backpack and it was perfect for our trip and it was our main traveling pack once we landed there. I had taken this through almost neck deep water and all of our stuff was safe and dry. I took this through water falls and had absolutely zero worry about our camera gear, towels or phones. I was extremely comfortable and what I also like is that as its only a single large compartment, the only way to access the stuff is by unclipping, this means that if someone does attempt to get in there, you will certainly notice. Long term use: As above, I bought this for a trip to Bali and when I got back I was so happy with it that I kept using it for my commuter bag. This bag has been absolutely perfect, it fits in in the city setting, as it's waterproof then all my work stuff is gonna stay dry and save, and finally it's tough as hell. Currently it's been 8 months and I've been using this pack everyday with no holes or damages anywhere. I've already taken it to other trips and it's also a perfect carryon bag, it holds everything I need and quick to grab. This thing is super tough and I'm totally going to continue using it for future trips.
