Built from heavy-duty PVC tarpaulin with a seamless high-frequency welded construction, the 25L delivers dependable waterproof protection across a wide range of outdoor and ocean environments.

Suitable for brief accidental submersion when sealed correctly.

How to Seal Your Waterproof Backpack

Step 1 - Roll the Airtight Seal

Roll the black webbing forward tightly three times toward the front of the bag until the Velcro attaches. This creates the airtight waterproof seal.

Once rolled, two sealing options are available. The Top Seal suits quick access and frequent opening. The Side Seal suits compact positioning and longer carry periods.

Step 2 - Quick Lock with the Top Buckle

Bring the end clip around and lock it into the top buckle to secure the rolled seal. Suited to short use - moving between the car, home, or beach.

Step 3 - Secure with the Side Compression Straps

Clip the side buckles on both sides and tighten the compression straps to secure the rolled seal. Creates a flatter profile and is recommended for longer carry periods.

Pair the 25L with POD bodysurfing fins and handboards or POD swim fins and training bundles to complete your ocean gear transport system.
