The Rothco Waveguard Waterproof Backpack is made for the day on the river or lake when your pack may end up in the water with you.

Its heavy-duty three-layer vinyl tarpaulin shell is fully submersible and meets IPX7 waterproof standards, while tension-locked waterproof zippers seal the main compartment and front pouch. Padded shoulder straps and a sternum strap keep 15.6 liters of gear steady from launch to landing.

Why it works:

  • Gear stays dry if it goes under: The pack is fully submersible and meets IPX7 waterproof standards, built on a three-layer waterproof vinyl tarpaulin shell.
  • Zippers that seal tight: Tension-locked waterproof zippers use a secure zipper seal that increases tension, with pull tabs for leverage.
  • Dry storage with a bottle on the side: A main compartment and front pouch close with waterproof zippers, and an adjustable mesh bottle pouch rides on the side.
  • Steady carry on the trail to the water: Padded, adjustable shoulder straps with a sternum strap set the fit, and a molded top handle makes quick lifts easy.
  • Room to add gear outside: MOLLE loops on the pack give you points for gear attachment.

Who it's built for:

For kayakers, canoeists and rafters who need their gear kept dry on the water.
