Earth Pak- Summit Series Waterproof Backpack Heavy Duty Roll-Top Closure and Cushioned Padded Back Panel (Black, 55L)

EDIT -------------------------------------------------------I have had a four days trip to Wales on a Motorcycle and we got caught a few times in very serious downpours, one where I got soaked to the bones but this backpack worked well and nothing got wet inside.Comfort wise, the straps do their job and it was easy to carry on the motorcycle or when walking. The capacity is aready sufficient at the minimum size (straped tight) but I know it can take a lot more.That the last bag I was considering taking for the trip but that was really the perfect one. I'll use it every time I know it'll be wet and muddy.ORIGINAL REVIEW -----------------------------------------I usually review only things I absolutely like or items I regret having bought.This bag here seems of excellent quality for this kind of price, although I have yet to really test it. The shoulder straps are pretty thin but this should be OK for those using this backpack with jackets. If it's not your case, you can get some cheap shoulder pads to add some comfort (I'll probably do it myself).Two tights pockets inside (zipped and a net), big enough for documents or a phone.The bottom doesn't have any reinforment cover, so the main seams are exposed. It's probably best not to drag it on a rough surface, like a road. But we all know that items of this price range must be handled with a certain care anyway.What actually really impresses me is the phone case. First it was there (some review said they didn't have one).It's made of the same material as the bag with a hard shell at the bottom. The closing mechanism is easy to operate and pinches the case tightly closed.Now, the most impressive part is actually that this case fits my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with its rugged case on (Spigen Tough Armour). A nearly 7 inch screen phone with a big rubber case. Really astonishing!I thought it would go straight to the bin but this waterproof phone case is actually really useful. I can still operate the screen through the plastic and it'll be good to have when using my phone as satnav on the motorcycle and rainy days.(Apologise for the bad pictures, I couldn't use my phone...)

Lasted a trip to Finland as checked in luggage, so withstood the cargo crew throwing it around. Material is very strong and durable

I took a gamble on buying this bag & I'm glad I did. I'd never heard of the company before but decided to go with one, after reading the reviews of other buyers. They really are a great bag for the money, and much better made than I'd imagined given the price, and who could argue with the guarantee they give you. I opted for the bigger bag & it holds loads. I used this bag recently on a biking trip, which we endured some pretty heavy rain, but not one drop made its way inside. All in all, I don't think you could buy a better made waterproof bag for your money anywhere, I'm that impressed I'm buying my daughter one for Christmas.

I bought this as well as the duffel bag style Earth Pak bags. I kept the duffel version and returned this one. I was hoping this one would be more versatile as a backpack but it is just not that comfortable. Still a very nicely made item though and definitely waterproof based on the fact that the Earth Pak bag I kept is made of the same material and almost the same design. The closing mechanism means you can basically shrink the size of the bag based on how full the bag is. So you can take this as carry on without issue if you do not fill it too much. Also handy as a pillow if you trap air inside it when empty!

This bag is everything I could want from a rucksack style dry bag. It has a huge capacity and is built like a tank with thick material and quality welds. It is very comfortable to wear, even with a heavy load and for my use on a mountain bike the reflective strip and led light anchor points makes it ideal for bike packing.Having said all that about the bag, I would like to add that I had an issue with my initial order and my problem was resolved without any stress the very next day, so your also buying into a company that stands by the quality of there product and looks after there customers. 10/10

I have owned this for 10 months and use the backpack daily when going to and from work on my motorbike. The build quality is good and it has been 100% waterproof. There are no signs of wear and tear on the material.I would recommend this back pack

Used as a carry on bag to go backpacking, tough for buses and 100% waterproof. Being a roll top can adapt to the loading

First time using the front zip and it broke.
