By Michael G from West Burbs of Chicago, IL on 08/20/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Paddling Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I used these bags for a rafting trip on the Colorado river and canyon hiking trip in Zion in August. I had inadvertantly left one bag in the front of the paddle boat I was in. The front of the boat was hit with several large waves of water during the rapids desent completely drenching the bag. All items including my $$$ camera stayed perfectly dry. Easy to stow in any backpack as well, good product, good value. Get the larger bags (20,25L bags) the smaller bags will not store many items

The Mary Poppins Bag (Fits Everything) By LD from Boulder, CO on 08/14/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Best Uses: Work laptop bag Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great laptop bag. Holds small architectural drawings & a laptop & files & still carries well on a bike. Great pockets, padding & features. Truly waterproof, as I discovered on a recent business trip. Downside is that the waterproof zippers are stiff & take both hands to close. Also, if you feel like you need a lap-top cradle / padded compartment, there isn't one.[...]
By Strada from Seattle on 08/13/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Tight Closure Best Uses: Fishing, Paddling Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The main compartment of this pack is closed with a water resistant zipper. With the zipper tabs on the side of the pack, water won't run inside. I got this for kayaking so that my personal stuff are protected from sprays and rain. I also use this as a light pack for fishing. It's just the right size for a few fly boxes and angling gear when I hit the rivers or the salt water for a day of fishing.

Highly recommended- [...]
By Joe-Bob from Clarkston, MI on 08/12/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Paddling Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I used two of these bags on a canoe trip in Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario. Very tough bag can handle as much weight as your hands can take, hoisting with the small diameter cord. The attached throw-bag is handy, as you are never searching for the hang rope. The low-friction material also slides easily into larger dry bags. The compression valve is a great feature, also.

Excellent stuff sack for any outing By Ledgehead from Nashville, TN on 08/11/2008 Pros: Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Strong Material, Tight Closure, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Paddling Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very lightweight, flexible, and easy to use. Most waterproof stuff sacks are difficult to compact down because of trapped air but this one is easy because of the valve that allows you to expel any excess air in the bag. Have used kayaking, canoeing, backpacking in heavy rain - it is completely waterproof. It also works exceptionally well as a food bag when hanging food in bear country. I have used this bag for about 3 years now and still as good as new.
