About this product
Naturehike Waterproof Backpack – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
Ten litres is the personal size. A phone, a wallet, a towel, a change of clothes and a camera – the things you cannot afford to get wet on a boat to Zanzibar, a fishing trip or a beach day where the tide comes up the sand faster than you expect.
A roll-top waterproof bag works on a completely different principle from a water-resistant backpack. There is no zip to leak and no seam under the flap. You fill it, fold the top over on itself at least three times, and clip the buckle – and the folded material seals the opening against water. It is the same method dry bags have used for decades, because it works.
The material is 100 percent polyester with PVC layers on both the inside and the outside. That double coating is what makes it genuinely waterproof rather than merely resistant, and it makes the bag wipeable – sand, salt and mud come off with a rinse rather than soaking in.
Two details make it more useful than a plain dry bag. There is a mesh pocket on the side for a water bottle or anything you need without opening the seal, and it can be carried in up to four different ways – as a backpack, over one shoulder, by the handle or rolled down small – so it adapts to a beach walk, a boat and a dala dala equally.
It suits Zanzibar and coastal boat trips, kayaking, fishing, beach days, river crossings on a trek, and the rainy season generally. One honest note: like all roll-tops it is made to keep water out in splashing, spray and rain rather than to be submerged. Do not treat it as a diving bag.
