Frequently asked questions

How To Clean A Waterproof Kit Bag

To clean a waterproof kit bag, rinse with fresh water, wipe with mild soap, and air dry in a cool spot.

Keeping your waterproof kit bag clean makes it last longer and keeps it ready for every adventure. Shake out any sand, mud, or grit, then rinse it with fresh water, especially after sea swims or muddy trails.

For a deeper clean, use a little mild soap with a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, or machine washing, as these can damage the waterproof coating.

Then, rinse it well, hang it open to air dry out of direct sunlight, and store it in a cool, dry place until your next trip.

What’s the Difference Between a Kit Bag and a Dry Bag?

A dry bag is for keeping your kit fully watertight; a kit bag is for protecting your gear from splashes and for carrying it all.

Dry bags are simple, usually roll-top bags, whereas a kit bag gives you much more versatility.

With backpack straps, a shoulder strap, grip handles and multiple compartments to organise your gear, they’re the perfect choice for a range of uses.

Kit bags are waterproof up to the zip, and splash proof above, making them ideal for swim sessions, weekends away and everyday adventures.

Are Kit Bags Good For Storing Wet and Dry Gear Separately?

Yes, kit bags make it easy to keep wet and dry kit apart.

Our kit bags have multiple compartments, including a waterproof pocket in the lid, a tarpaulin pocket inside and two mesh pockets. 

This means your essentials stay protected and easy to reach, away from damp swimwear.

What Activities are Waterproof Kit Bags Designed For?

Kit bags are designed for wild swims, weekends away, and everything in between.

Waterproof kit bags like the Caribou are tough, versatile, and splash-proof.

They’re perfect for wild swimming, surfing, and beach days, but just as handy for camping, road trips, or muddy outdoor adventures!

Can I Fit Changing Robes, Wetsuits or Dryrobes in a Kit Bag?

Yes, waterproof kit bags are roomy enough to fit changing robes and wetsuits with space to spare.

Our kit bags are designed with plenty of capacity for bulky gear. You can easily pack a changing robe, wetsuit, or dryrobe along with towels, clothes, and extras.

Plus, with backpack straps, a shoulder strap, and grip handles, you can carry it however suits you best, so even when it’s packed full of gear, it’s still comfortable.
