Sm. to Med. Waterproof Backpack Recommendation

Anything you have with which you are particularly happy? I’m looking for something with an internal pocket or two and I’m flexible about the rest. I have a Gekko drawstring bag, but apart from the size and one interior pocket…not it’s not much more than okay and it’s not particularly durable. I’m in the water twice a week most weeks and almost every day for two months out of the year (consecutive).

I’m quite happy with my Tactic Pack, which attaches to the back of my PFD.

Watershed makes some great stuff. https://drybags.com

Here are a few links, but no inside pockets.

Aquapac has a pretty good range and I’m happy with the waterproof camera bag I have. Amazon, B&H Photo, etc., sell them…

I use the wet and dry bag when bike commuting, and like it. Has an inside pocket, like a dry bag with in a dry bag.

I also have the camera carrying bag, and use that for my DSLR when I am on the water.

Both are roll tops, which means they are not likely to be perfectly waterproof (not submersible).

Thanks all!

Just ordered an Aquapac 25L…looks perfect for me.
I’m using this for my camera. Awesome bag! Build is rugged…holds a D500 with a 200-500VR attached and room for a wide zoom and a tc.

Though, there are many waterproof available in the market but I prefer the tactical ones for kayaking and paddling. I recently purchase this tactical backpack http://www.magforceus.com/all/magforce-origin-pack-tactical-backpack.html. With Nylon 1050-Denier water & abrasion resistant nylon, I didn’t only find it good as waterproof one but it is also a good water repellent bag. I also bring for hunting and store many of my weapons in it. It’s just amazing. Yes, you can consider it.

A day late but Chums has recently come up with some nice looking waterproof backpacks. Three sizes from 4liter to full sized.

I know Chums because I get “The Band” Velcro watchband from them.

Check out Ortlieb products, too. They are known for bicycle panniers but I think they make other bags as well.
