Product Information

Full details

The Gul DRYPAC SERIES 40L backpack is designed for water sports enthusiasts needing to protect gear from moisture and the elements. Its primary benefit is robust, waterproof protection in a durable, cylindrical design, making it ideal for carrying wet gear or safeguarding dry essentials. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, best suited for aquatic activities rather than general-purpose hiking.

FAQs

What is the capacity of this dry bag?

The Gul DRYPAC SERIES 40L backpack has a capacity of 40 litres.

What material is the bag made from?

The bag is constructed from tough 500D Ballistic Tarpaulin, which is a waterproof material.

How do I ensure the bag is truly waterproof?

Properly close the bag by rolling down the snap shut dry fastening multiple times before clipping it securely. Ensure there are no gaps or damage.

Can I use this bag for regular hiking trips?

While it provides good protection, it's primarily designed for water sports. Its cylindrical shape and fastening system are optimized for keeping water out, which may be less ideal for the organization and comfort needed for extended hiking.

What are the dimensions of the bag?

The dimensions are approximately 32 x 32 x 75cm.

Does the front zip pocket offer the same level of waterproofing as the main compartment?

The front zip pocket is designed to offer good protection against splashes and light rain, but it may not be as watertight as the main compartment's snap shut dry fastening system.

What colors are available?

This specific guide is for the Yellow & Black variant. Other colors may be available in the DRYPAC SERIES.

Troubleshooting

Bag is not watertight

Ensure the snap shut dry fastening is properly aligned and rolled down tightly before securing. Check for any tears or damage in the material or seams.

Straps are uncomfortable

Adjust the length of the backpack carry straps to find a snug and comfortable fit. Ensure the load is balanced within the bag.

Front zip pocket is difficult to open/close

Ensure the pocket is not overstuffed. Gently wipe the zipper with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for sensitive gear.
  • Durable construction built for harsh environments.
  • Easy-to-use watertight closure system.
  • Comfortable to carry with adjustable shoulder straps.
  • Generous 40L capacity for extensive storage.

Cons

  • Cylindrical shape might be less efficient for packing non-uniform items compared to traditional backpacks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Gul DRYPAC SERIES 40L backpack requires no complex setup. Simply adjust the backpack carry straps for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: This dry bag is designed to be compatible with a wide range of water sport activities. It can hold various items including wetsuits, towels, clothing, electronics, food, and other essentials.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, rinse the bag with fresh water to remove salt, sand, or dirt. Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely before storing. Ensure the snap shut dry fastening is open to allow air circulation and prevent mildew.
  3. Storage: Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  4. Fastening: Ensure the snap shut dry fastening is properly aligned and sealed to maintain its watertight integrity. Avoid overstuffing the bag, which can strain the fastening mechanism.
