It's a fully sealed, submersion-rated carry system designed to keep its contents completely dry even when fully submerged — the kind of protection you need when you're paddling whitewater, crossing tidal flats, or hiking coastal routes where waves can reach you without warning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed by sea kayakers on the exposed coastlines of Patagonia and Norway, by rafters on the multi-day rivers of the American West, and by coastal hikers on routes like the South West Coast Path in the UK, waterproof backpacks have become essential kit for anyone who operates at the intersection of land and water.
