I have started this company to produce the perfect waterproof backpack. I was using regular dry bags for a while but they are more storage bags than adventure and travel bags. I was especially missing this when I started making surf trips to remote places in Indonesia. Tropical rainstorms, open boat rides, airport transfers, bus rides, taxi rides, ferry rides, pickup truck rides, jungle trekking… I wanted a waterproof bag that is comfortable to carry on my back and has enough pockets to organize all my gear. There was nothing on the market that would quite fit this. So we decided to produce our own. After lots of material testing, designing and sample testing we produced our first DryTide Backpack – the ultimate explorers backpack.
