I bought this bag in the 115L size with the intention of stuffing my sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and pillow inside its heavy-duty yellow waterproof material. Turns out, in that size, there was enough room for my girlfriend's stuff too! As an avid rafter, I love gear that acts tough and can stuff right into the crevices on a gear boat. This bag more than met my needs; I can't wait to go on another overnight raft trip just so I can burp this bag one more time! Woot!

I bought the 115L sized bag, which will definitely hold all of your gear for a week long Boundary Waters trip, and then some. Nice to see the new model has the hip-belt: mine doesn't have this feature, but I sure wish it did! There is no padding against your back; to solve this you can pack your sleeping pad against that side, or stick a lightweight piece of foam on the inside before you start packing. Everything stayed dry the entire week, and it handled being set down in mud and on rocks/gravel nicely. If you plan on getting the largest bag and/or have lots of gear, I recommend putting "like" gear in smaller light-weight dry sacks first, so it's easier to find what you're looking for when you're digging through the big bag, especially in mosquito territory! The yellow color also made it easier to see the contents on the inside.

Bought this pack for stowing my climbing gear for bouldering on some islands. Required some swims between the rocks. I only bought the 30L as we at most would sleep the night on the sand and needed little. The bag never leaked, I've used it for this purposed probably 2 dozen times or more now, always beeing dragged behind me while I swim. Or used as a bouy for a break on a long swim.

My only thought is that the material appears like it may wear thin and eventually develop holes on the corners of the folds. Grant it there aren't any holes and this isn't a proven fact. The material there is just the only place that seems to be wearing faster.

Went on a 5 day canoe trip to the boundary waters. Bag kept was easy to carry, adjust and comfortable with all of my stuff and kept me all dry. Really pleased with bag. It is not even too scratched up and I also used it as luggage on the plane ride there.

I have older 115L models of this bag without the hip strap for rafting trips. They work great, even on a flipped and pinned boat. Plenty of room for all of a person's personal gear for several days, and the shoulder straps make getting your gear from the boat to camp much easier. For the price I would recommend, and they've held up well over a few years of good use.

this product was perfect for a week up in the boundry waters it was easy to portage and it kept my gear 100% dry

Used this bag on a 6 day boundary waters trip. Bag worked great - kept all my gear dry. I felt the lack of a padded hip belt was a drawback. I'm thinking about devising a way to add padding from an old frame pack, possibly. Also, I ordered too big a bag, which meant that I took too much stuff, a lot of which I didn't really need.

I use these for loading light gear onto my roof rack. They are great. I also have the duffle, which has less straps, also a good choice.
