DryTide waterproof travel backpack combines the usefulness, versatility and comfort of regular backpacks with waterproof capabilities of dry bags. It offers protection beyond the regular “waterproof” tag which can today mean many different things. At 50l it is a perfect travel companion for worry free travel in any weather and in any environment.
The backpack is made from 100% waterproof material using ultrasonic welding instead of stitching. This ensures that items inside the DryTide waterproof travel backpack remain dry not only during a quick rain shower but also in much harsher conditions such as prolonged and heavy torrential rainstorms. The backpack can withstand a fall into the water or even short submersion where it is completely underwater. Additionally, it will protect your belongings from sand and dust, which can sometimes be even more damaging to electronics than water.
With all this, DryTide waterproof travel backpack is still a proper backpack with pockets to organize your things, with comfortable shoulder straps, padded back, and a hip belt to help you carry it around.
This makes the DryTide 50L waterproof travel backpack ideal for travelers who don’t want to worry about the weather or wet mishaps during their trips. Typically, when there’s a chance of getting wet, we pack water-sensitive items like electronics and dry clothes in plastic bags or separate dry bags, use waterproof backpack covers, or try various other solutions to keep water out. With this backpack, you simply pack everything inside as you would with a regular travel backpack, and you’re all set.
The backpack can also serve as a convenient way to carry wet gear, preventing it from dripping all over your car, for instance. Apart from travel, backpack can also be used for various water sports like kayaking, rafting, boating, stand-up paddling and others.

*it is normal for waterproof zippers to be harder to open and close than regular and splash proof zippers because waterproof zippers produce a much better and tighter seal that can stop water from coming inside even when dropped into the sea (it’s a feature, not a bug)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the laptop sleeve part of the backpack?
No, DryTide waterproof travel backpack features a removable internal pocket that can be replaced with a laptop sleeve. There are two laptop sleeve options available (sold separately): waterproof laptop sleeve and padded laptop sleeve.
Can the backpack be used as a carry on backpack if you are traveling by plane?
Yes, the 50L waterproof travel backpack is large, but the roll-down top closure allows you to adjust its size to your needs. Unlike a hard-shell suitcase that either fits or doesn’t fit into overhead compartments, you can modify the backpack’s size. If you fill it to the top, it won’t be suitable as carry-on luggage. However, if you fill it halfway, you can use it as a carry-on without any issues. This has been done many times before.
How big is this waterproof backpack?
It is big. Backpack has more than enough room to pack everything you need for a few days. You can easily store 4-6 wetsuits inside. It can store motorbiking boots together with all your other protection and motorcycle suit. If you are going on a trip you can store all you clothes for the trip together with laptop, drone, camera, a couple of lenses, and a dome port. At the same time, with the roll down top and by tightening the side straps you can make is smaller. If this backpack is too big for you check the 30L waterproof daypack or ever smaller 18L backpack.
It is a camera backpack?
If your main concern is to keep your camera gear dry then yes, DryTide waterproof travel backpack can be used as a camera backpack. It will stop the water, sand and dust, it has enough pockets to keep everything organized, lots of room for all your equipment and it is comfortable to carry. It is however not a camera specific backpack that would offer internal cushioning and special compartments for your camera body and lenses. This backpack allows you to carry wet gear inside it, this is why internal padding was not used when constructing the backpack. If you need added protection we suggest to get a separate camera cube insert that you can put inside the backpack. This way you can transform your 50L DryTide waterproof travel backpack into a perfect photography backpack.

CLOSING INSTRUCTIONS
To close the backpack:
- Align the top edges and tightly roll down the top at least three times.
- Buckle the ends to the sides of the backpack for less waterproof protection, or buckle them together for more waterproof protection.
For detailed instructions on closing and using DryTide bags, please refer to this article.
CARE AND USE
- The backpack floats on water but it is not meant for prolonged submersion. If there is a danger of falling into the water, make sure that the roll down top is closed as tightly as possible and that the ends are buckled together, not to the sides.
- Keep solvents and liquids like insect repellents away from the backpack.
- Keep the backpack away from extreme heat and sharp objects. Even though the backpack is made out of tearproof and durable material sharp objects like thorns, needles etc… can puncture the material.
- Rinse the backpack with fresh water when it is dirty or after use in the sea – continuous salt deposits can jam the zippers.

I’ve been super happy with DryTide’s waterproof backpack. It’s a very sturdy bag and it has more than enough room to pack for any trip I’ll take. I also like how comfortable it is because I usually carry it on long hikes.

I’m so happy I bought my DryTide bag! I work in the jungle, so that backpack is always with me, and its life is not easy:) …hiking, kayaking, or just taking the rain at the back of the pickup truck. The size is a little too big for my daily travels, but perfect for weekends or even 5 days expeditions. It surprised me pleasantly that the shoulder straps are comfortable, even being a woman with not such broad shoulders. The side mesh pockets are just a bit too tight to fit Nalgene bottles, but I absolutely love the front pocket.

I recently went on a 6 week surf trip with my DryTide backpack and I have to say I couldn’t be more pleased with the performance of the backpack. I packed around 15 kg of stuff in the backpack and it felt comfortable to carry and everything stayed dry throughout the trip, despite at times hazardous circumstances. I also recieved numerous compliments regarding the aesthetic design of the backpack. Would definitely recommend the DryTide backpack to others interested in off-the-beaten-path travel.

This bag meets all my expectations and more! It is well put together and the zippers are heavy duty and look like no water will be getting in. The storage space inside holds all my fishing tackle, sleeping bag, few clothes with room to spare. I highly recommend this bag if anyone is in the market for a overland pack that’s gone be pushed to the limits of Mother Nature!

Roberto, Italy –
I used the DryTide Waterproof Backpack 50l for trekking and snorkeling, in both functions it behaved very well despite on some occasions the heavy rains and the water always present in the boat during the excursions, of course it is rather big but for me it is perfect to contain all my equipment both wet and dry, in short it is a waterproof backpack, resistant and very capacious and therefore a reliable travel companion.

Using this bag for work every day now. Awesome design!
Terry, Senior Beach Lifeguard, Cornwall, UK –
This backpack is perfect for my work as a professional beach lifeguard in Cornwall. Holds so much kit, wetsuit, spare uniform, coat, fleece and towel… I use the inner pocket for my lunch box, large outer pocket for my swimming kit, goggles, hat and swim shorts. Using top pocket for easy access for car keys and phone. And two side pockets for hot and cold drinks. Great design!

Took a chance on this ‘unknown’ brands backpack and was very pleasantly surprised! Very good built quality, feels and looks sturdy and fits lots of gear. The internal laptops sleeve is another aspect that is beneficial. The bag is large, but as someone who frequently needs to carry lots of gear (swimming, traveling, diving) it’s perfect. The pockets in the lid and on the front fit lots of smaller items and the zip feels very durable (requires some strength to use, but this is so it’s waterproof. This is not an issue, but rather an added benefit. After around two weeks of daily use the only downside I have found was a plastic buckle (on the side) that does not work as it should.
Would I recommend this backpack? YES, absolutely!! I don’t think anyone can go wrong with this and should the 50L be too big, there is a smaller version (which I have not tested; not yet at least).
Great product! Good design!
