Waterproof Dry Backpack 25L

I ordered my first one of these in March 2016. Since then, I used it every day on bike rides. I've also taken it kayaking, backpacking, canoeing, hiking, to the gym, coutless bike spills, tossed it over fences and off porches, and used it as a pillow outdoors many times. I've been hit by a car (twice) while wearing it. It has kept everything dry and been really comfortable throughout. The chest and waist straps are important to me, as my lower back starts to hurt on long bike rides.By far my favorite bag ever. After five straight years of hard daily use and abuse, one corner has finally worn out (pictured), so it's time to order a new one...glad they're still making them, and figured it's time I left a review. (also, while the waterproof liner in the corner wore out, the interior liner is still completely intact, and nothing was ever in danger of falling out of the bag).P.S. the zipper for the front pocket broke really quickly into my ownership of this bag. I like the rest of the bag enough that I didn't care, but your mileage may vary.

Recently I started to ride my bike to work. My old backpack was not waterproof and not comfortable for a 13-mile ride. I tried to cram shoes, change of clothes and a lunch in a 20-liter nylon backpack. After having numerous people tell me my backpack was open, I figured I needed to get a new backpack.I knew I needed something waterproof, comfortable, durable and large enough to carrying my gear. This COR 40-liter backpack, which I purchased, is absolutely incredible and a steal at this price. There is one heavy duty zipper that is placed on the rear of the backpack, instead of on the seam where there is a potential it could open. Essentially this is a cool, functional dry bag. I even forget sometimes that I have it on when I ride. The backpack secures around the waist, shoulders and has a chest strap. I will definitely make this my carry-on when I travel.

I don't review items, mostly because things don't last very long these days. Well this bag is a wonderful exception and an amazing piece of gear if you live aboard a sailboat. 3 years in and this bag is as useful as it was the day we bought it. That's 3 years of everyday use in some of the most extreme conditions, including year round living in the Sea of Cortez where temperatures often go above 100*F (38*C)Comfortable, useful and super dry, this bag is our go to for daily use and keeps our camera and laptops safe from impact and water. After 2 years we lost use of the outer zipper pouch, but otherwise this bag is well used and still looks almost brand new. Amazing piece of gear and well worth the money. When it comes time to replace this bag, you know we will be heading back to the Cor store!

Good bag. Im a surfer with many foot-access-only surf spots. so I'm a needy backpack and need a durable pack due to carrying breakfast,coffee, water,towel, poncho,wetsuit and some etcs. Bag is very durable and waterproof. I can pack up all my stuff without worry. the sand of the beach is easily cleaned off. love it...some negatives would be it balloons up when closing. air is trapped in the bag and just makes closing it a little weird. Perhaps this is great for kayaking but a little uncomfortable for walking.as well there are 2 net side pockets. 1 of them is not adjustable and located right on the side clip for closer making it uncomfortable and actually hard to use. I find it hard to even slip my glasses in there . overall I'm stoked on the purchase......

I felt compelled by the rapid delivery of my second backpack to write a positive review. I purchased my first backpack (on the right) years ago, I’m guessing 2017ish. I was up in rainy weather Washington. I loved it from the moment I received it. It went to Europe and back with me for Oktoberfest and many camping trips and hiking trips in between. It’s seen some stuff. Only this year, seven+ years of weekly use, I noticed my shoulder straps were a bit worn down. Some of the seams are starting to give out. I worry about the potential of leaking due to rigorous wear and tear. The bag on the right will still be used for light duty jobs since the bag is still holding strong. I just like to have this new shiny backpack for when the weather is more wet. Thank you for making a wonderful product.
