6 Best Waterproof Backpacks For Weather Protection
Nobody wants their gear to get soaked. In this post, we'll go over some of the best waterproof backpack models.
1. Earth Pak Summit Dry Bag Backpack 35L
A common negative of cheaper waterproof bags on Amazon is that they don't have ample harness systems. With the Earth Pak Waterproof Backpack, that isn't an issue. It has a rolltop closure that'll keep your gear dry, attachment loops on the front and sides, and a harness system that'll keep you moderately comfortable on a hike that involves rain, river crossings, or other water features.
2. YETI Panga 28L Waterproof Backpack
A common gripe when searching for the best waterproof backpack is that they don't often look like a standard pack. Because of the thick and durable materials needed to ensure water can't permeate the pack, they often aren't as stylish as the bag you use daily. However, that isn't the case every time.
3. Filson Dry Backpack
If you're looking for a waterproof backpack from a company with over a century of experience making some of the most rugged packs on the market, look no further than the Filson Dry Backpack. This pack is fully submersible, so it'll keep your gear dry on city streets in monsoon season or on a hike through the river while fly fishing for trout.
4. Skog A Kust BackSak Pro
If you like modular gear and are searching for the best waterproof backpack for you, look no further than the Skog Å Kust Skog Å Kust BackSåk Pro! It has a daisy chain running down the front face, attachment loops on the pack's sides, and additional D-rings on the shoulder straps. Plus, it's waterproof!
5. L.L.Bean Adventure Pro Waterproof Day Pack 26L
Most waterproof backpack models don't have external pockets because of the thick and durable materials used to ensure their waterproofness. However, on the L.L. Bean Adventure Pro Waterproof Day Pack 26L, there's a secondary mesh pocket on the front of the pack. We dig this because you can stow a packable travel jacket, water bottle, or another small item.
6. ORTLIEB Velocity Waterproof Backpack 17L
The Ortlieb Velocity isn't the most waterproof pack on this list; however, it offers a unique style, comfortable carry, and three sizes. The 17-liter option is excellent for trips where you won't have as much space (a small boat, perhaps), and the 23 and 29-liter options offer more space when you've got more cargo room to work with. Maybe Chief Brody got a bigger boat, after all.
