This bag feels very solid, secure seams, comfortable ventilated padding, hooks/loops for attachments, and plenty of outside (and inside) pockets/compartments to separate wet stuff from dry. The material feels thick as in being able to take a beating. The size (30L) is a bit larger than your average day-pack, but it (obviously) won't hold a full set of camping gear. I have looked at/returned several drybags, but this one (purchased on overst...com for under $70) is a keeper.

I've been using this pack to protect my camera, 15" laptop computer, and GPS devises while doing wetland research in coastal Louisiana. It has been excellent with no water leaks at all. The mesh pockets are handy for bug spray and sunscreen! A small interior pocket if useful for things like keys and pencils. Additionally, it is very comfortable to carry on your back and works well as a backpack for wet-weather cycling. 20L is a bit small for a regular school or hiking backpack, but the appropriate size for carrying "just the essentials" for short trips out in to the field for research. You will be very happy with this pack.

This backpack is great! I bought it because I bicycle to and from work, and biking in the rain often causes the contents of my backpack to get wet. Moreover, biking to and from work (10 miles total) creates a lot of sweat in the summer months, which soaks into conventional backpacks and causes them to stink. Though the shoulder and back pads on this backpack are slightly absorbent; this backpack will be a lot easier to keep clean and non-stinky than a conventional bag. Moreover, it will be useful on any rainy hikes or canoe/kayak trips I decide to go on. And it will keep my stuff dry. Truly a worthy bag to have and use.
The material of this bag is a very sturdy rubbery material, even more sturdy than most high quality dry bags I have encountered in my years of (both recreational and even some professional) kayaking, canoeing, and diving. As a person who travels at night a lot, I was worried about overall visibility. The bag, however, has two large reflective strips on the back, and two smaller ones on the front, which all make you easy for cars to see at night--(and easier to fish out of a lake/river at night)--whenever those things happen.
This backpack has a monstrously extendable capacity. Because it is a drybag, the top folds down easily to remove the bulkiness of the excess capacity when it's not in use. I was a little turned off by the outer pocket being see-through at first, for privacy reasons, but it has definitely grown on me and now I enjoy being able to see exactly what I remembered or forgot to bring in my backpack when I go to work in the morning (the transparency makes quick 'stuff' checks easy). It also has a nice adjustable elastic straps on the back which would be great for hiking, and a sturdy pocket for small items in the interior. All the straps (including the two buckles for the chest) are sturdy and well made.
Finally, this backpack looks very much like a 'conventional' backpack when rolled up and closed. Don't worry about getting any strange looks at meetings (or being 'teased' if you're a teenager) when walking around with this backpack because I got the black version and people haven't noticed the difference unless I've pointed it out to them.

After a month or so of daily use, my only major criticism on the handiwork is that the stitching that secures the zipper on the outside pocket to the bag is too thin and wears out quickly. This has caused the zippered pocket to pull away from the bag and hang open a little. Everything else on the bag has held up very well.
