Collection: Waterproof Bags Designed For Wild Adventures

The best way to clean a waterproof bag is to rinse with fresh water, use mild soap if needed, and always air dry out of direct sunlight.

Keeping your waterproof bag clean means it’s always ready for the next adventure. Shake out sand or mud, then rinse with fresh water, especially after salty swims or muddy trails.

For a more thorough clean, use a mild soap with a soft cloth or sponge. More stubborn stains can be brushed gently, and odours tackled with a vinegar solution or baking soda. It’s important to avoid bleach, harsh detergents or machine washing.

Finally, rinse thoroughly, then hang the bag upside down to air dry, out of direct sunlight. 

Store your waterproof bag in a cool, dry place to protect the waterproof coating and keep it adventure-ready.

To use a waterproof bag, pack carefully, roll the top 3–4 times, and clip it shut for a watertight seal.

Using a waterproof bag keeps your gear dry whether you’re hiking, swimming, or paddling. 

Pack your items carefully, and for extra protection, pop electronics or valuables into smaller pouches or compartments before sealing. It’s important not to overfill, though, as you’ll need space to close it properly.

For our roll-top waterproof bags, line up the top edges, roll them down 3 to 4 times, and clip the buckles to lock in the seal. The bag should feel tight and gap-free.

Waterproof bags float, so make sure they’re secured when in water. Open with dry hands, and keep sharp objects out to avoid punctures. Used right, your waterproof bag will keep your kit dry and adventure-ready for any activity.

A waterproof bag keeps gear completely dry, while a water-resistant bag only protects against light rain or splashes.

The difference between waterproof bags and water-resistant bags comes down to how much water they can handle. A waterproof bag is designed to keep your gear completely dry, even in heavy rain or if it takes a dunk.

A water-resistant bag will fend off light rain and splashes but won’t hold up to a proper soaking. They’re great for commuting or everyday use in drizzle, just don’t rely on them for full water adventures.

Yes, a waterproof bag is essential for paddleboarding or kayaking to keep your gear dry and secure.

A decent waterproof bag is a must for paddleboarding and kayaking. They’re built to keep your kit safe from splashes, rain, and even the odd dunk in the water, so your gear stays dry no matter what.

Our waterproof bags come with roll-top seals, giving you full protection. They’re tough enough for rugged use and easy to strap onto your board or kayak so they won’t float off mid-paddle.

From backpacks with small pouches for phones and keys to roomy waterproof kit bags for clothes and gear, we’ve got a size for every trip.

For wild swimming, a 40–45L waterproof bag is ideal, giving space for swim kit, towels, and extras.

For wild swimming, a waterproof bag around 40–45 litres is spot on. It gives you plenty of space for a towel, a changing robe, swim kit and a few extras without feeling bulky to carry.

Our waterproof tote bags, duffels, and backpacks all come in this size range, making them ideal for swim sessions, days by the water, or weekend adventures.

If you’re carrying just the basics, a 40L bag does the job perfectly. Go for 45L if you like a bit more room for snacks, spare clothes, or extra gear after your dip.

A true waterproof bag uses PVC, TPU or tarpaulin with welded seams and roll-top seals.

To know if a bag is waterproof, look at the materials and build. Proper waterproof bags are made from PVC, TPU or tarpaulin, with welded seams (not stitched) and roll-top closures or waterproof zips to stop water sneaking in.

Look for clear labels like 100% waterproof or an IP rating of IP66 or higher. Be aware of terms like “water-resistant” or “water-repellent,” as these don’t offer full protection.

Want to be sure? Pop a dry tissue inside, seal the bag, and dunk it in water for a few minutes. If the tissue comes out dry, you’ve got yourself a waterproof bag that’s ready for any adventure.
