This fully waterproof, roll top, wet/dry bag rucksack has been designed for wild swimmers - whether you are hiking, cycling or just sauntering to the water. It will keep your kit dry, has tons of storage space, is fully adjustable for comfortable wearing and has an array of features to facilitate carrying your gear to your  favourite swim spots.

It is made from tough 500D tarpaulin and has heat welded seams to give your belongings total protection from the elements.  The roll top enclosure means that even the heaviest of downpours can't dampen your fun and the pack can even withstand a brief total submersion. This is rugged piece of kit that will rise to the challenge of all swim terrains and can be easily wiped down after a muddy outing.

The main compartment is roomy with a 45L storage capacity and features a wide opening to make it easy to access your gear. There is plenty of space for a changing robe, a poncho towel, neoprene accessories, hot water bottle, warm layers and, importantly, cake. It also features a separate waterproof bag which can zip out. This can be used to store any wet items after your swim and can then be easily removed to clean and dry out, once back home.

The bag is watertight with 3 rolls of the fabric at the top and can then be fastened down at the side or clipped together at the top. There is an additional grab handle on top to make  is easy lifting this on to your back.

Don't always need as much storage space? Versatile, with its roll top fastening you can simply roll it down further and use the over strap to create a smaller pack. 

There is also a small and handy, showerproof pocket inside attached to the zip out bag. This enables easy access to important items like your keys and phone to save you having to rummage through the contents of your rucksack to locate them. We know wild swimmers love a pocket or two.

Externally there are 2 stretchy, mesh side pockets to store that all important thermos flask

An external splash proof zip pocket on the front keeps small, important items to hand

There is a set of loops for walking poles if you are hiking in the hills to find that perfect dipping spot, or perhaps for an ice axe when that winter season comes round and you are in training for your ice mile (or just posing for Instagram)

Adjustable, padded shoulder straps, a chest strap and a waist belt make carrying this pack very comfortable. You can keep the weight close to your body and look after your back.

Cyclists will benefit from the loop for a bike light/adventure light and a reflective strip to help increase visibility and stay safe.

Available in 4 colours: electric blue, hot pink, flame orange and olive green

 

outer - 500D PVC tarpaulin

inner dry bag - 210T ripstop PVC

This is second wild moose bag I own. I have the tote bag which I use for sea swimming. I lived the bag so much I got the backpack for my work bag. The quality is excellent and I would recommend this brand to everyone.

This is a beautiful bag. Plenty big enough for all your kit. I have used it once so far at a quarry swim and the other ladies were all jealous!

I absolutely love my Caribou backpack. I sea swim every day. All my swim buddies now have serious bag envy! My sister has already requested hers as a birthday present. Whoever designed this bag must be a swimmer as it is just perfect. An interior pouch for wet gear, perfect pockets in just the right places and a couple of exterior pouches with quick access to hold essentials like a flask! There's enough capacity for carrying all my winter gear as well as folding down to a smaller bag for summer swimming. Can't recommend highly enough.

Excellent rucksack that is more than fit for purpose. Has extra little pockets inside to keep wet gear away from dry. Does the job and more.

Absolutely loved this bag, bought for a swimming trip to the Lakes with friends. It held everything I needed really well laid out and well made, I think my friends may well be ordering one :-) Excellent service too as ordered at short notice and the bag was shipped for next day delivery. One very happy swimmer :-)

This backpack is everything I hoped it to have been. I was worried that all my sea swimming kit would not fit in, but its exactly the right size and comfortable to wear. I love the side flask pockets which stretch and the backpack also has a waist and chest strap. It is a deep rucksack, but I pack it in order of the items I need, which makes post daily sea swims quick and easy. It is totally waterproof for carrying kit in the rain too! They are becoming increasingly popular with my sea swimming group, especially as we have to walk down a hill to the sea and its great to have hands free for hand warmers/hot waterbottle/flask of coffee. I bought an orange one which looks fabulous with my bright pink dry robe. Highly recommended.

It’s a lovely bag, really useful inner wet bag and zipped pockets. Haven’t used it yet but intend to do so on Christmas Day. Customer service just superb - first parcel went missing via Royal Mail. No quibble re replacement and great email exchanges with Rachel. Thank you so much

I love my Caribou Backpack, holds everything I need. I questioned/ critism though, why is the plastic pouch attached to the drybag? This makes the bag difficult to use as it is intended.
