KAEWA ON WORLDFISHINGNETWORK.COM
When kayak fishing, camping or hunting, keeping my gear dry and free of
debris is important. To help accomplish this I have been using the
42-liter (32 inches high, 11.5 inches wide and 11.5 inches deep)
capacity Kaewa Drybag by Konus. The bag’s material is made from 600
denier polyesters laminated with TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane). The
42-liter bag is more than enough space to store anything you may need
for a day or weekend trip. It has a nice padded shoulder strap and an
air valve to let air out as I roll it up, or keep air in to float should
I need it as a rescue device.
Next up is the Kaewa Backpack by Konus. Although advertised as a
waterproof backpack like the drybag, the backpack is not submersible
because the two zippers do not close tight enough together. It seems
nearly impossible to have a 100% waterproof backpack if zippers are
involved. The zippers used on this backpack appear to be professional
grade, thus ensuring the highest degree of protection from water and
sand. I found by keeping the two zippers on the side this virtually
eliminated moisture from getting in. It is great for walks, hiking or
using on a motorcycle to keep items dry. The pack inside has several
storage compartments, ranging from small to large. Its capacity is 1220
cubic inches and measures 18 inches high, 10.5 inches wide and 10.5
inches deep. In addition, the padded shoulder straps make it nice to
tote gear.
Overall, these products do a great job keeping items dry and free of
sand. The Kaewa Drybag retails at approximately $30, an average and
competitive price for your typical dry bag. The backpack on the other
hand is a little bit more expensive, but quite nice given that in most
conditions your stuff will remain dry and free of dirt.
