Your backpack should always keep up with your adventures, no matter the conditions. This way your 100% focus can be on what you are doing. No compromise. No worrying about your gear staying safe. Traveling, surfing, kayaking, stand up paddling, trekking, hiking, fishing… it does not matter. Don’t let the rain, sea or dust hold you back. We have all been there. Thinking: “I hope the rain stops, I don’t want my things to get wet! Should I put my camera in an extra plastic bag? What about the clothes in my backpack? What if a wave splashes over my gear? What if my things fall into the sea? What if sand gets inside my bag?” The time has come for you to stop worrying and start enjoying your adventures no matter what mother nature throws at you. DryTide waterproof backpacks, duffels and dry bags will keep all your gear safe and dry. No matter the conditions.

DryTide waterproof backpacks are the only backpacks that combine the usefulness, versatility and comfort of regular backpacks with waterproof capabilities of dry bags while still looking stylish.

Every DryTide backpack, duffle and dry bag is made out of 100% waterproof material using 100% waterproof construction technique. Things inside your DryTide bags will not only stay dry during a quick rain shower but also in much heavier conditions like long and heavy torrential rainstorms, during various water sports, they will survive a fall into the sea and even a shorter submersion.

Ergonomically designed padded shoulder straps, hip belt, sternum strap and padded back help you comfortably carry your gear. Pockets, compartments and extra straps help you organize your belongings so they are always there when you need them.

Terms waterproof and water resistant are used all the time when describing products and most of the time they are used loosely. In reality not many bags and backpacks that use the term waterproof are really literally waterproof.  What is the difference between a water resistant backpack and a truly waterproof backpack and what makes a backpack really waterproof?

Which bag is right for you depends on the amount of gear you want to carry and your adventure style. When choosing the size also keep in mind that you can use a dry bag or a dry bag backpack either to keep all your things dry or to prevent your wet gear from dripping all over the place (or both).

There are two different backpack sizes (50L and 30L) and three different models. There is also the waterproof duffel bag that again has it’s own benefits. Here is a short description for each size to help you choose, for a full list of features please check each individual bag in our shop.

Waterproof bags or dry bags are great for times when you don’t need lots of gear or you don’t need to carry it for a long time. They will protect everything you put inside them from water and dust. So far we have counted 31 different uses for them, from storing wet wetsuits, to bringing your smaller personal items to the sea or lake, from organizing your items inside bigger bags to pushing them into your sea kayak.
