Your gear is your life whenever you’re on the road, regardless of whether you’re taking a hiking trip or just riding your bike to work. All your valuables must be protected at all times and all costs; in the rain or snow, we must protect our essentials by placing them in safe spaces, much like a waterproof backpack, or a dry bag. Let’s face it; it’s not worth risking an expensive laptop that could easily have been protected from the drizzle.

Backpacks must not only protect; they must have the strength to stand the test of time while providing the wearer with the utmost comfort whenever they’re worn. That’s why we have provided the below information on the best waterproof backpacks and how to care for these bags. Many of these options are better described as dry bags but that’s because many waterproof backpacks are simply dry bags with backpack features since the zippers and pockets on many backpacks can make it hard to ensure true waterproof protection.

The bonus of a dry bag or dry bag backpack is that you can use it for all kinds of water excursions as well. Whether you need it for paddle boarding, kayaking or boating, there’s so much out there. Whether you want to use these waterproof backpacks as dry bags, for biking, or to protect your laptop for any other use, let’s take a look so you can find the perfect model.

• PVC-Coated Polyester Waterproof Roll Top Dry Backpacks

I love the Roll Top Waterproof Backpack for full days outdoors and that’s why it earned its spot as our best waterproof backpack. The spacious main compartment, multiple pockets, and ease of use make this an all-around awesome product. The roll-top closure seals out water and the heavy-duty 500D PVC tarpaulin construction can stand up to brutal outdoor days.

Another feature I love about this roll-top pack is the multitude of pockets. Around the bag are two mesh pockets, one of them being zippered pockets. The side pockets are perfect for carrying water bottles without taking up extra pack pace. The waterproof side pocket in another side is designed for your smartphone with touchable TPU film. Overall, this is a great hiking backpack for both men and women and will stand up to years of use and abuse thanks to its rugged construction.

If you want to keep your stuff safe & dry, whether you’re hiking the trails or rafting the rapids, the Waterproof Floating Backpack is the best solution. This dry bag backpack is rugged in nature and is made watertight with high-frequency welded seams made from woven polyester and coated with vinyl. Carry this bag with almost no pressure transferred to your muscles, thanks to the additional feature of a thick and well-cushioned sternum strap that is adjustable.

This bag is closed in two different ways; the first is by using its side clips and adjusting for a compressed and snug fit. The second way involves you folding the roll-down at least three times, and creating a handle instantly by clicking the top clip. Either way, the bag remains waterproof for as long as it’s in use!
