Seattle Sports Co. Aquaknot Dry Bag Backpack

I bought this for wet canyoneering (descending canyons) in Utah.

Pros: Very comfortable, nice looking, and mostly waterproof (easily sufficient for most activities like boating or hiking, but make sure it is tightly rolled if completely submergingI would still use individual dry bags for important things like cameras).

Cons: NOT abrasion resistant (the bottom quickly sprouted several holes after just 30 minutes of scrambling down a boulder filled creek, with the bottom occasionally rubbing). And there goes any waterproofness.

The manufacturer gave ZERO comment or reply when contacted about this and offered suggestions for improvement.

This bag arrived ontime and in good shape. It's bigger than you would think. Considering that its a waterproof bag, the opening of it does not have a waterproof seal. I dont need a totally waterproof bag, but be warned. The bag looks nice and its comfortable.

I got this backpack to use for school because I bike and Ive gotten stuck in the rain and had a few books ruined. Unfortunately, this pack wont even hold a standard size text book comfortably. Ive been using is for about a semester now. The first thing to go was the clasp at the top. It snapped off within a couple weeks. It actually was not even being used at the time. I had set in the seat of the car (a nice and cushy seat, not a hard floor mind you) and the clasp snapped in half when the bag was set down. Like I said, it wont hold my full size books, so I doubt it was due to the weight of the bag on top of the clasp. It was just pretty flimsy. In addition, the edges of the bag have begun to fray. This also began pretty early on. It seems as though the edges do not have a fray-block adhesive. It really does not hold as much as I though it would, which is unfourtunate. It would be ok for an occasional day pack for maybe a change of clothes and a snack but I wouldn't use it for an overnight canoe trip. Like one of the previous commenters, this pack would be good for use at a theme park where you only go a few times a year and that is all the pack is used for. If you plan to use it more than a few times per year it probably wont hold up. If I had the option to buy this pack again, I would not. It does however, keep everything completely dry, even with the broken clasp.

I bought this product to carry a fairly expensive camera plus a few accessories and possibly an extra lens at times. Then with some good organization and folding techniques, can add a set of dry clothes and a few other small dry goods in a way which cradles and cushions the camera. Use it kayaking, hiking in rain, etc. Just recently I was on a moored boat in a bay off the island of Culebrita. We loaded a surfboard with dry goods and swam to shore. The waves were fairly rough there and the Aquaknot fell off. It tumbled in every which direction before I could retrieve it. But very fortunately everything inside stayed completely DRY!
