Product Description

Wet and Dry Backpack Whether you are commuting in the rain or canyoning down a waterfall, this is a fully-featured waterproof backpack that will protect your gear from the elements. The lashtabs on each chest strap and main bag are to carabiner on a bicycle helmet or pouch. The external mesh pockets will each hold a 2L water bottle, magazine or tripod. Features: · Full-size waterproof internal pocket - Allows you to separate your wet and dry things (or dirty and clean things) stowed safely in the same bag. · Internal pockets in yellow - So you can see to the bottom of the bag easily. · Clear key pocket - No need to scrabble around inside the bag for those small items. · External mesh-pockets - Keep a bottle or pump quick and easy to get to. · TPU-coated fabric with taped seams - Water can not seep in through the seams, even where they are sewn. · Proven roll-seal - Quick and easy closure which provides excellent sealing against the elements. · Removable back support/seat - Take it out to dry it quickly after a soaking, or protect yourself when sitting on rough terrain. · Pocket can be used for hydration bladder - Add in a bladder and clip the hose to the carabiner supplied, to stay hydrated on the trail. · Integral light-lash - Add a light to your back, or clip on your helmet to stay hands-free. · Breathable mesh straps - Quick-drying and breathable mesh straps are lightweight and comfortable. · Reflective logo print - Be seen at night with reflective ink on your back, but be subtle in daylight. · Sternum and waist straps - Keep the backpack securely in place when you are moving on the trail. And remove the waist strap if you do not need it. · Carabiner lashes - So you can attach your map-case, water-bottle or safety equipment to keep it convenient and hands-free. · 100% PVC-Free - Stays supple and crack-free even when it's really cold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Wet Backpack! Worth every penny.
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014

Awesome wetpack, the extra wet section, and waterproof pouch inside are invaluable. I tried a bunch of different options, and this one is by far and away the best option out there. I took it on a trip to Belize recently, and even the guides were envious of this thing! Got lots of comments. I was able to bring my gear with me on a caving trip where we had to swim, and everyone else had to leave theirs at the entrance. Also note that even tho this is not submersible, it does float brilliantly on the water as it traps air inside. So if you do need to swim with it, just take it off and push it along with you, or even tie it to yourself with some rope. I also highly recommend the 35L size over the 25L, there is almost no difference in weight, so even if you don't need the extra space, it doesn't really cost you anything to carry it. Also as the pack is so flexible it won't take up any extra space either, unless you put more than 25L of stuff in it :) Personally I also found the 25L was a bit too small, so there really is no reason to limit yourself with the smaller pack.

This is an amazing backpack, if you need a waterproof backpack, look no further, this is it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful backpack
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2015
Size: 35LColor: BlackVerified Purchase
This backpack is thoughtfully designed and well made.

PROS:
+ I took it swimming, and it is indeed waterproof.
+ It is constructed very well, with no loose threads or leaks. And every strap, clip, and zipper works well. It's a pleasure to handle.

It has essentially three compartments: The main bag, a removable yellow pouch inside so wet and dry stuff can be separated, and a smaller transparent pouch meant for cell phone, keys, etc.

I have the 35L version of this bag, and my other 33L backpack easily fits inside. That's possible because backpack volume includes the volume of the mesh pockets. In other words, the main compartment is quite voluminous for a 35L bag.

CONS:
- Update Nov 2020: After five years of occasional light use, the inner pocket tore from the backside.
- It comes without any instructions whatsoever. A QR code is included, but it leads to a broken web link. I can't figure out what the loops at the end of some straps are for, and I wish they had included care instructions.
- The mesh pockets on the side are so deep that it is impossible to grab a water bottle while hiking.
- It only comes in black, which for someone who lives in the tropics or goes caving is a bad color choice.
- Little back support, more like a soft bag, so the 35L version is not ideal for long hikes.

Overall, I consider this a very capable and high-quality backpack. It's ideal for very wet activities (e.g. kayaking), not so much for mostly dry hikes with the occasional immersion, which would benefit from an easy-access compartment. It drives my crazy that I can never get to anything fast.

Suggestions for improvements:
* A quick-access outside pocket
* Other color choices than black
* Make one of the side mesh pockets short, so a water bottle can be grabbed from it without taking the backpack off.
* A side strap to secure longer items, such as a tripod would be worth considering.

1.0 out of 5 stars Having had such a bad experience with my Aquapac 25L
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2014
Size: 35LColor: BlackVerified Purchase
I bought this for my nephew during the period when my Aquapac 25L Wet & Dry Backpack (a gift I received in 2013) was serving me well. Sadly, the latter's interior pocket soon started to tear apart and tape peeled off the seams; by then, I was in St Petersburg where winter temperatures were a relatively warm -12°C. Conversely, the exterior of my Aquapac seems unaffected and the roll-seal deterred two pickpockets from targeting me in St Petersburg. Instead, one of them surreptitiously unzipped my friend's conventional backpack from behind and had a hand in it, feeling for valuables, when I caught him in the act and chased him away. Having had such a bad experience with my Aquapac 25L, I'm now waiting for my nephew's Aquapac 35L to give the same problems. I sent photos of my Aquapac 25L to info@aquapac.net and John Colenutt (Sales Administrator - Aquapac International Ltd) promptly replied on 25 Jul 2014 to say he would replace my Aquapac 25L. I'm still waiting for my replacement Aquapac 25L to arrive and my subsequent e-mails to John have gone unanswered. So much for the 5-year Warranty.
[Feb 2016 UPDATE: My nephew's 35L Wet & Dry Backpack has been to the Atacama Desert, Ecuador's Cloud Forest, the Galapagos Islands and Japan. It continues to perform well and has been trouble-free. Aquapac's John Colenut eventually replaced my defective 25L Wet & Dry Backpack with the new model which has also performed admirably. Would I now recommend Aquapac to friends who need a waterproof backback? Yes.]

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2022

Definitely waterproof, comfortable to carry and lots of space in the side netting. My only criticism is that there is no little zipper compartment inside for easy storage/access to keys etc. That said it's a minor point and given the selling point is being waterproof not worth losing a star over. Top quality and feels like it will last a long time. Definitely recommended. Oh, also this is the first roll-top bag I have had and while I didn't like it at first it is practical, a far better waterproofing system than taped seam zips and you get used to it really quickly. The reinforced carry handle on the back was an unexpected plus too. Top quality kit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bon produit fonctionnellement mais qualité dégradée
Reviewed in France on December 9, 2019
Size: 35LColor: BlackVerified Purchase
J'utilise ce sac à dos étanche (25l) depuis des années sans problème, il est bien conçu. J'en ai commandé un nouveau (35l) pour mon fils: hélas la qualité est dégradée, le tissu est plus fin, il manquait le scratch mâle de la pochette intérieure (cf photo), et globalement la qualité de réalisation est moindre. Bien dommage. Je ne l'ai pas renvoyé car mon fils partait en voyage mais à ce prix là, ce n'est clairement pas acceptable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ziemlich teuer, aber das Geld wert
Reviewed in Germany on November 9, 2013
Size: 35LColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Mehrfach getest, das Ding ist wasserdicht :-)
Sehr schoen zu tragen - hat naemlich gute Gurte und der "Sack" wirkt in Summe sehr gut verarbeitet.
Ganz nett ist, dass man die Rückenplatte rausnehmen und als Sitzkissen verwenden kann. Sehr gut sind auch die riesigen Aussentaschen - da laesst sich ordentlich Proviant bunkern :-)
Die Idee mit der Innentasche mit Reissverschluss ist gut, den Reissverschluss sicher schon 10x ausprobiert, geht alles wunderbar und er wirkt sehr robust (grosse Glieder).

Der Stoff wirkt jetzt nicht sooooo strapazierfähig wie bei anderen Rucksäcken - dafür ist der Rucksack sehr leicht

Endfazit nach 6 Jahren Dauernutzung:
Mit dem Teil war ich einkaufen, kaufe 90% per rad, hatte den rucksack taeglich im Einsatz und I fahre das ganze Jahr mit dem Rad zur Arbeit.
Ich war mit dem rucksack auf Bergtouren und ich hatte ihn mit in Italien und Kroatien am Meer. Also ein echter daypack.
Nach 6 Jahren ist er jetzt fertig, die innere Beschichtung loest sich langsam ab und ohne dichte Nähte.... Aber nach 6 Jahren... Ich find den super, allerdings auch ziemlich teuer... Nuuuur, 35l sind hier auch 35l ... Da wird ja oft gelogen

I like the fact that it’s roomy and waterproof. Really dislike the lower straps (the ones over the waist/hips) as they don’t do up in the middle as with most rucksacks, but at the side, meaning they are fiddly to do up once you have the rucksack in place. Also they don’t have a ventilated back panel so I imagine it will get hot on long walks. But will use it when rain is anticipated to keep my kit dry.
