Took this bag out on a sea kayak and the boat capsized with the bag going totally under water... not a drop of water got into the waterproof section.
The waterproof zipper is hard to open and close, so hopefully you won't need quick access to gear with this bag. But worth the trouble for protection.
Marked as cumbersome because it is a large bag. Not practicle for a multipurpose bag
This is an amazing bag! I bought it half a year ago and it has already been all over the US. The dry pack is a great feature that gives me a great peace of mind no matter where I go that my gear will stay dry.
The only downside is that it's a little big, but it is perfect to hold all of my camera gear (D80 Based) and a rain jacket. The water bladder is also an added bonus.
