Red Paddle Co. Waterproof Kit Bag 40l
I have quite a number of bags scattered around Muddy Towers, but the one I take with me when I’m out in the canoe, or if it’s going to be left somewhere wet, is my 40 litre Kit Bag from the Red Paddle Co.
It is fully waterproof, which means that it can handle a multitude of outdoor activities from kayaking, sailing, paddle-boarding - in fact, anything where water is involved. One reviewer on their website wrote that they use it when they swim out to their boat, and in the process the bag gets partially and fully submerged yet their contents have always remained dry.
Part made from recycled plastic bottles, it offers a generous 40 litre interior storage space, and keeps everything 100% dry using a watertight zip and welded seams. Staying with the interior there are also two elasticated webbed pockets for keys or your mobile phone.
On the outside there are another three pockets. On one side there’s a small pocket that can fit a mobile, and or keys, then there’s a larger pocket on the other side is big enough to keep a laptop safe. There’s another pocket on the base of the bag which is very handy if you are carrying the bag as a backpack. All pockets are secured using watertight zips. There’s also a large elasticated bottle holder on the outside.
Cleverly, the larger of the two side pockets isn’t sewn into the side of the bag, this means that it can also be used as a divider inside the bag separating wet and dry pieces of kit.
The Waterproof Kit Bag isn’t just a one trick pony, the two detachable straps can easily be switched between your preferred carry style - a backpack, duffle or over the shoulder carry. On either end there are also clips that I assume are for both securing the bag to something and compressing the contents down.
Because Red’s roots are in paddle boarding, the kit bag also includes a padded changing mat that gives you somewhere comfortable and clean to stand on when changing or showering outdoors.
If you are looking for a proper dry bag that can endure a lot more than a good dunking, and yet smart enough for international travel and posh hotels, then this is a worthy purchase, even if you don’t go anywhere near water, but if you do it’s a no-brainer.
price: £129.95
