Piscifun Dry Bag, Waterproof Floating Backpack 5L/10L/20L/30L/40L with Waterproof Phone Case for Boating, Kayaking, Fishing

The seams and the materials aren't quite as nice as the expensive motorcycle camping panniers or bags, but these Piscifun bags are very close to the quality of high end motorcycle bags selling for five times as much, or more. The durability has been good so far and no doubt they'll hold up well for many years of use. The simple design and construction probably shaves a few pounds compared to the slightly thicker material and more complicated (less volumetric efficient) shapes used in the fancy motorcycle luggage. Get the expensive gear if you're traveling around the world, or want to look like a RTW traveler. This lower cost option is good enough for the rest of us to use for our adventures.These are very versatile bags. I use one 30L bag on the rear rack for day trips, with room to store waterproof jacket and pants, water, snacks, first aid kit, tool roll, etc. It's a low drag version of a tail bag.Two 30L bags, side by side, can carry everything I need for ultralight motorcycle camping, and having two bags allows me to better organize my stuff. One bag has clean and dirty clothes, tool roll and the first aid kit. The other bag has the sleeping bag, cook kit, stove, fuel, Hennessy hammock, etc. If you pack a bit heavier (tent, etc.), you could easily and inexpensively upgrade to two 40L bags, or three 30L bags with two on the bottom and one centered above it. The pair of plastic D rings at the base of each bag, intended for the shoulder strap, could be cable tied to help the bags stay together, although it's easy enough to secure the individual bags using a nylon strap.The molded grab handle is very nice but seems almost redundant on these bags because the roll top closure makes a convenient carry handle, but it's reassuring to strap the bag to the rack via the heavy duty handle and not worry that the closure buckle may open.I appreciate that the shoulder strap can be detached to prevent it from falling into the rear wheel or flapping in the wind. I like that these are simple low drag bags without a lot of clutter or complexity.The generous mesh pocket on the outside is great for small items that need quick access, such as toilet paper (in the separately provided small waterproof cell phone pouch) or a small flashlight, assuming that the lashing strap is positioned to prevent the contents of the mesh pocket from falling out. The mesh pocket is also excellent to secure wet or muddy items that might need to be packed, but not packed inside the bag. Wet socks can dry while riding. Muddy Croks or sandals can be carried without contaminating anything in the bag.I organize the bag's contents mostly in lightweight stuff sacks - cooking equipment, food, clean clothes, dirty clothes, sleeping bag, motorcycle tool roll, first aid kit, etc. Pro Tip: Use a lightweight dry bag such as those by Wise Owl for both clean and dirty clothes, so the clean clothes stay clean. The larger heavy duty Piscafun bag makes a great washing machine. Fill the bag half full of water and a squirt of detergent. Add dirty laundry. Seal the bag and shake for a minute. Let sit for 20 minutes. Shake again. Rinse twice, dumping all water at least 100 feet from a lake or stream.I have a small adventure bike and prefer ultralight solo camping. I pack everything I need into two of these 30L bags, strapped to the luggage rack and pillion of my baby GS motorcycle. I prefer the simplicity over carrying panniers, a top box, etc. I also like not having panniers increasing the width of the bike and sticking out into the wind to act as drag brakes to reduce my mileage. I hardly know I'm carrying 35 pounds on the seat behind me.

backpack is great, well-made, sturdy, and it looks good.kept my stuff dry, and i like that it floats.you can wear it with one strap cross-shoulder or two straps as a backpack (or no straps, it has a handle).i got the 10L, and on the pictures it looks like only the 30L has 2 straps, so i was surprised when my 10L came with 2 straps. very happy with it. mine is black+red, looks good enough to wear normally, not just on the water.the 10L is very big inside, can easily fit shoes and towel and phone and some snacks with room to spare.has lots of places where you can add carabiners to clip the bag to a paddle board or kayak or whatever.the front pocket was plenty big for a water bottle (or for the included waterproof phone case).i read a review that said it wasn't big enough for a water bottle, but i think they were just rolling the bag closed in the wrong direction -- you gotta roll it away from the pocket.my only slight complaint is that it's heavier that i expected, but i guess that's a good thing -- it's made of sturdy tough thick material.also, it smelled when i first unpacked it, but it does air out fairly quickly.

I purchased this for a white water rafting trip this summer and I am very pleased to report that it did a stellar job at keeping my items, as well as my friends' items dry while we were splashed and soaked with river water.I bought the 10L size and though it looked somewhat small, this bag held two coats, three cell phones, two water bottles, my wallet, among a few other items that I can't recall currently. And as I said, as we were thrown around and drenched with water, when I opened this bag after we were done, there was not a drop of water to be found inside. It also accompanied me in a hike down to a roaring waterfall. I came back looking like a drenched dog, but my objects inside were still dry.Just feeling it you can tell it is a very thick, rubbery material and it is well made. I also really like how the straps have the ability to be unclipped. It is very convenient for strapping said bag to either yourself or whatever watercraft you may be using. It doesn't float, so I'd say it's good to be able to keep it close by.Another thing to note, I have a Pelican Mustang Kayak, the one with the zip up case strapped in the back, and this fits perfectly inside of it. So if you're looking for something to stuff in there to keep your items extra dry, this will work great as well for that purpose.

I used the 30L bag on an ice fishing trip. It worked and everything stayed dry. I had a lot of electronics. It worked well and doubles as a good overnight bag. Great price.
