OverBoard Adventure Duffel Bag

I bought this bag about two years ago. It is amazing, especially for the price. I work offshore on a boat and sometimes have to do boat to boat transfers that can soak our bags. My stuff stays dry in this bag (probably not the choice for full immersion, I have true dry bags for kayak trips, etc.). I was surprised by how good the quality of the stitching, zippers, fabric, etc. was, considering it was about 1/3 or less of the price of a North Face bag, which I was really considering hard. It's a good sized bag, but if not stuffed totally full I've got it on as carry on luggage many times (flexible bags fit more places, ya'know). Anyway, I don't post reviews very often, but love this bag!!!

The first time I used this bag it leaked and everything inside got wet. I used it exactly as they advertised it, for "light splash" conditions. I contacted the manufacturer and here is a direct quote from their reply: "It's not really meant to be waterproof, just water resistant, for if it gets splashed, where no water would get near the seams." Talk about false advertising! It's "water resistant" (Amazon's ad says "waterproof")as long as the splash doesn't touch the seams? They should be ashamed.

This is my out of box review for the overboard-adventure 90 duffel (with backpack straps):

NOTE: I've had a North Face Base-Camp Medium bag (that is VERY similar) for over 5 years and it has been extremely good to me. I wanted to get a gift for a friend and I thought the north face bag would be great.... but too much $$$ (I'm all about frugality). I love the North Face and will use it as a reference-point to my review.

Out of the box the bag felt a bit thinner than the North Face. Very shiny too, ha. I figure the shine will blemish a bit with time and wear. It's a gift to a girl though, so I think she'll like the shiny. I'm interested in how this bag will hold up to getting tossed around in cars, airplanes, boats, beaches, forests, etc...

Also are a few minor scuffs on it, but I'm not going to complain (unless quality comes into question at a later date at which point I will update the review). My North Face has survived several trips though airport security and is getting pretty banged up which is making it a better-looking bag! Also, with the price I paid, I can deal with a few scuffs that would end up happening anyway.

Right away, I stuffed this bag full of pillows to get a feel for how big it is 90L is BIG. North Face is a little smaller. As far as getting this thing into overhead airplane bins, I don't think it will be a problem so long as it's not stuffed (I like to carry-on).

The shoulder straps were easy to put on. Took a little arranging to keep them from sliding when I picked it up to my shoulders. No big deal. 15 seconds later and they're tight and secured.

Will update as needed. Like it lots thus far

Big enough, good looking enough for all sort of occasions. Didn't get to use it for rainy day just yet. Wait till summer and I will be using this bag solely for the beach. Will update my review later on, That's why it's only 3 star for now.
