These bags are tough durable not maybe the best back packing set up. They will keep your equipment dry when properly sealed up. Have owned this bag for about 4 yrs now have used it a lot, has floated down river once by its self. When retrieved all my dry clothes where as you would expect DRY. No disappointments well built .the back pack assembly is very adjustable with waist belt. It is a dry bag.
I purchased one of these…
I purchased one of these portage packs to use in the BWCA in lieu of a standard hiking pack. You can fit a ton of gear in this bag. Organization is a bit tricky with no compartments but it is fully waterproof which is a fair trade. Shoulder straps are comfy and the hip belt does function fair for supporting the weight off of your shoulders. The longest portage I performed was about 5/8 of a mile and I had over 60 pounds of gear in the pack. Not quite as comfortable as a traditional hiking pack but realistically being a portage pack it performed admirably. Rides very nice in the bottom of a canoe and has plenty of external attachment points for hanging other stuff (rope, pfd, nalgene, etc.) which is very nice for portaging. There are a lot of options out there for portage packs but for the price and performance I am very pleased with this pack.
