Piscifun Waterproof Dry Bag Backpack 5L 10L 20L 30L 40L Floating Dry Backpack with Waterproof Phone Case for Water Sports - Fishing, Boating, Kayaking, Surfing, Rafting Gifts for Men and Women

Here's the lowdown on everything that's going on. I read every single review and here's what I have to say: SURPRISES? br>br> br>It's of higher quality than I expected for the Amazon price. The straps are too long, and it sits too low, according to one of the reviewers who gave it a low rating. Unless he's shorter than me, who stands at 5'- I'm guessing he put the straps on the wrong way around because he's 7". The adjustment plastic thingy must be positioned BELOW the pad in order for it to work. Unlike those who simply intend to store the bag somewhere and not use it full-time, I intend to wear the bag the entire time it is in use, so I purchased a sternum strap separately (see photo). It's comfortable to wear and stays put. I'm not too disappointed that the bag didn't come with one already because of the price. I chose one with a built-in whistle, as you may have noticed. This is a nice addition. WHAT SIZE ARE YOU? br>br> br>In my photos, I've used 10L. What does it mean in the real world if you have the dimensions? This 10L is comparable to a hydration pack in size. Compare it to a full-size 2 pencil in the photo below. Yes, a 10L bag strapped to the back of a grown man does look odd due to its diminutive size. Whether it's a work bag or a diaper bag, I prefer to travel light and choose small bags. A 20L would, I believe, be closer in size to a backpack. Anything bigger, you'd think, would just be bulkier. IN RELATION TO THE GENERIC ONE: br>br> This is also available in a generic, non-branded form. When it comes to the importance of something needing to be water tight, I generally don't take the chance with generics. The Piscifun version has two features that the generic version does not. The first is the elastic cord, which isn't elastic at all in the generic version. It's just a cord, with an outside pocket for non-waterproof items in the Piscifun version. The generic one is just sealed and won't let you put anything in it (at least, that's what I'm assuming based on the photos and reviews; I didn't buy the generic one myself). Both features were important to me, and the price difference was insignificant, so I chose Piscifun, which appears to be a reputable company? HOW DO I KNOW IT'S A GOOD COMPANY?br>br>HOW DO I KNOW IT'S A GOOD COMPANY?br>br>HOW DO I KNOW IT'S A GOOD COMPANY br>I don't, but there is an insert that comes with the bag that contains verbiage that I believe is reliable. You'll also notice that the business responds to customer reviews on Amazon. I'm glad I purchased from a small business because it allows me to contribute to their success. Great product at a reasonable price; I'll definitely buy from them again if I need another. It's something I've already told my friends about. HOW DID I CHOOSE THIS SPECIFIC BAG? br>br>HOW DID I CHOOSE THIS SPECIFIC BAG? br>The fact that there are two straps is the most important feature for me. It's a backpack, in case you didn't notice. That will be discussed further down. For the 10L version, the other dry bags typically have a single strap (as seen in the photos). It also has an elastic strap, an exterior pocket, and a separate handle, which I like. br>br>According to Piscifun, a version with a water bottle holder will be released soon. I would have waited if it weren't for the fact that I needed it for a trip. WHY AM I DOING THIS? br>br>WHERE DO I GET THIS? br>Beach is a word that comes to mind when people think of the beach. I'll wear the bag while doing activities so I don't have to worry about it being stolen if I leave it unattended. I chose yellow because it will be easy to spot if it is taken while I am not looking. br>br>FINAL REMARKS: br>br> br>Don't waste your time looking for the perfect bag online like I did. This is all you need. It's a good price, it's good quality, it looks nice, it has all the features you'd want (except the water bottle holder, which will be available in July 2019), and it'll most likely do everything you need a water proof bag to do.

I wanted a bag that I could throw in the boat, truck, or have on the bank when I'm fishing to keep my rain gear and rain hat all together and dry. I needed something that could withstand the elements and was also waterproof. I use Piscifun reels and have high confidence in their quality, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the 20L bag, and it's the perfect size; it's definitely full, but everything fits. With the included straps and top handle, you have a lot of options for how you can carry it. The top is watertight once it has been rolled down and clipped. The 20L fits perfectly behind the back seat of my truck, and I can throw it in the boat before I leave, knowing that I'll have dry rain gear when we get out on the water. With Oregon's new phone app tag system, the included phone holder will come in handy. I won't have to be concerned about my phone getting wet in the rain or sitting in the rain while I fish. These bags are ideal for anyone from the weekend hiker to the weekend marathon runner who wants to keep their gear dry while waiting for them at the finish line.

I live on the island of Roatan in Honduras and dive frequently. I have a dry bag similar to this with a roll-up tie-off seal, but I was getting tired of carrying it by the handle. I recently returned from my first trip down with the bag, during which I went to the beach, went diving, and snorkeled. A bag with backpack straps was something I really wanted. This was the ideal bag for me! When you're trying to stay dry, the back pocket is ideal for storing your phone, wallet, and other valuables while providing quick access. When you know you're going to get wet, everything goes inside and stays dry. Even while snorkeling (actually swimming to the next beach), I wore it. When I arrived, everything was completely dry. Nobody knew I didn't walk the entire trip because I took out my towel and dry clothes. Carry a large GoPro case, a towel, a change of clothes, and a large bottle of water with you at all times. Although it appears to be small, it is capable of carrying a significant amount of weight. I'm looking for two people to help me with my project. Three more are on the way for when visitors arrive.

I went with the 20L, which was the second smallest size available. The material is very thick and feels durable, so I don't believe snagging or ripping to the bag will be an issue. I carry the bag on the ice with me to protect my sensitive electronics (fish finders, extra batteries, underwater camera and tripod), which I don't want to get wet. I threw it in my sled and trailed behind the atv; by the time I arrived at my destination, the sled was full of slush, snow, and water, and I was concerned. All of the contents within the bag were 100% dry, however. This package also included a smaller bag that could be used to store cell phones, but I decided to use it to store my driver's license and atv registration paperwork. The quality is excellent, and the price is reasonable for what you get. At some point, I'm sure I'll add a third size. Not just black or white, but a variety of other colors are available.

It doesn't keep things dry. This bag was a huge letdown. We have a variety of dry bags that we use when kayaking, so we're familiar with how to use them and have never had a problem with any of them; however, this was our first time using one on a day trip. We only got a little wet from paddling and splashing around, but everything in this bag was soaked when we arrived at our destination and went to get our dry clothes to change into. Because there were no visible holes, tears, or damage, and this was the first time it had been used, it appeared that the material was not waterproof at all. I'm returning mine for a full refund and replacing it with something else.
