FAQs

Is this ruck sack completely submersible?

While designed to be highly waterproof and protect contents from extreme weather and water splashes, it is not intended for prolonged submersion. Ensure all closures are properly secured to maximize water resistance.

What is the capacity of this ruck sack?

The Vass Dry Fishing Ruck Sack - Edition 3 has a capacity of 40 litres.

Can I use this for hiking in the rain?

Yes, its primary design includes excellent waterproofing and comfortable carrying, making it suitable for hiking in rainy conditions, especially when transporting fishing gear.

How should I clean the ruck sack?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use and allow it to air dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What type of angling is this ruck sack best suited for?

It is ideal for extreme and adventure anglers, particularly those involved in sea fishing (boat and shore), where robust protection against water and the elements is crucial.

Does it come with a rain cover?

No, a separate rain cover is not needed. The ruck sack itself is designed with heavy-duty, waterproof materials and closures to protect your gear internally.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite proper closure

Inspect the main zip and roll-top closure for any debris or damage. Ensure the roll-top is sealed correctly by rolling it down at least 3-4 times before securing the buckle. Check the main fabric for any tears or punctures.

Straps feel uncomfortable or dig in

Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and hip belt (if applicable) to achieve a balanced and comfortable fit. Ensure the ruck sack is not overpacked, which can cause strain.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to close

Clean the zipper teeth with water and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing a stuck zipper.
