Soggy-free backpack from Aquapac
Planning a swim hike or canoeing into a remote stretch of mountainside? Take a look at this. The all new, limited edition Aquapac Wet & Dry 25 litre backpack hits shops this month. Essentially, it’s a 640g drybag, with comfy straps and features that turn it into a backpack.

Aquapac say that the 100% PVC-Free fabric stays supple and crack free even in the cold (great for Scotland then!), the large internal pocket allows you to separate wet and dry gear and the PU coated, taped seamed fabric and 3-roll seal means there’s no way water’s getting inside.

It’s got a hydration bladder pocket, a removeable back support that turns into a seat, a helmet or light clip on the back, reflective strips for night walking, and chest and waist straps for more stability on the move. You can try one on for real at the outdoor show, March 27-29th. Visit the Trail stand while you’re there, the team will be waiting to chat to you in the In Your Elements zone.
