Skog Å KustDuffelSåk Waterproof Duffle Dry Bags

So far so good. Only one problem. One of the ratchet straps does not hold tight, but the rest are good. It definitely holds a lot.

This bag is excellent quality and despite my comments below, I have ZERO regrets for purchasing this. I purchased the 40L version as my referee gear bag, and it has plenty of room for all of my gear plus my winter jacket (when I'm out on the field working). Easy to clean if it gets muddy.There are a number of small refinements I would make if I manufactured this, however I'm likely not the typical consumer for this bag.1. I wish it had bigger pockets - both inside and the external ones. Also, if I compare it to the dry bags I use for scuba, it would be really nice to have some Velcro on opposing sides of the top of the closure to help it stay closed.2. Also, I'll echo another reviewer's comment - why only 2 D-rings on opposing handles? I'm sure it would bring the price up minimally to add the other 2, and the added flexibility would be great.3. Last small refinement - there is a set of straps that buckle across the top of the bag. Well, the male ends are on the same side of the bag (and the female ends on the other side, obviously). It would be super-awesome if they put one male and one female on the same side, so that when they aren't strapped over the top of the bag, they can be connected on the (same) side of the bag such that they don't dangle and swing all over the place. You *can* connect them around the ends of the bag, but you can't really cinch them up without wrecking integrity of the flatness (and therefore "seal") of the opening at the top...so they still flop around.Again, these are just refinements. The bag is otherwise perfect - nothing gets wet, even in sideways rain. One of the things I love is when all the other referees are messing with putting their bags inside garbage bags to stay (somewhat) dry, and there's mine looking great and not "trashy" (pun not intended, but works anyway).

I recently took the Duffelsak on a 4 day kayak camping trip. All of my supplies--tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, clothes, cooking gear, snacks, toiletries, spare shoes--were stored in the Duffelsak and secured with straps on back of a Diablo Amigo sit-on-top kayak.The bag worked flawlessly through numerous full submersions. All in all I'd say the bag was fully submerged ~10 times and partially submerged ~12 times with zero leakage. I've done the same trip before with Sealline bags and they leaked.I especially like the accessibility of the bag. I've done the same kayak trip multiple times with 3-4 smaller (20L) Sealline bags and much prefer the horizontal access provided by the duffel. The duffel makes it super easy to access all of your gear at once rather than having to unload an entire smaller bag to get to the gear at the bottom. Plus the compression straps on the Duffelsak allow you to pack minimize the profile of the bag to take up less space.I cannot speak to durability, as I've only taken the bag on one trip. I will update this review after extended use.The only improvements I would suggest are to remove the clear ID card slot. It didn't cause any problems but I feel like it is the weak point in the bag as far as possible leaks go. If you really need to put an ID card on it I'd prefer to remove the clear built in slot and just tie/clip on a separate ID card pouch. I'd also look into adding an air release valve so you can remove air trapped in the bag while compressing it. I make these recommendations with the provisio that these are simply suggestions and not actual problems with the bag.If you're looking for a waterproof gear bag for camping, hiking, traveling, etc. I'd highly recommend Sak Gear. You can't beat the quality at this price point.

This bag is rather expensive and I don’t usually spend this much money on a bag like this but WOW it’s fabulous! It’s nicely sized to hold a lot, it stands up on its own which I really like (see pic) and I haven’t tested it yet for waterproofness but I think it’ll have no problem with that. It’s also very well made and worth the money.

Skog are quality bags - have 3 diff.

This is the best bag I have ever bought I actually use it on my motorcycle i travel and female and I overpack. I Ride a Can Am With new saddlebags in it attaches to my backseat perfectly it is so durable I ride through all storms in weather and has never leaked awaited to purposely write this review until I had it in used it several times I need to find more in different sizes for when I'm not packing for several days I would love to have a smaller bag but I have the giant one For when I go away for several days or more This really is a fantastic bag you can use it as a book bag you can tie it down you can use it for everything my daughter even borrowed it and used it on an aeroplane she wished it had a zipper I personally like the fact that it does not and it rules down because it seals itself and I think that's better than a zipper I don't think it would keep water out if it did not

For the price it is a great bag. The pvc material is not as bullet proof as the stuff used on higher end bags (NRS, TNF base camp duffel, Patagonia Black Hole, etc) and this led to it getting some serious wear marks (and a couple holes) from bad baggage handlers at the airport. But careless and terrible baggage handlers belt sanding your luggage on their carousel isn't a fair review and would have messed up just about anything short of a pelican tough box.Under normal use in an outdoor scenario this bag would hold up just as well as the top end bags. It's definitely water proof and is a good design with lots of room.It does not do as well as the NRS bags or or TNF Basecamps when it comes to extreme heat or extreme abrasion, but other than that it is a really good bag.It is very sturdy--not quite as burly as the high end bags, but definitely comparable and a lot less expensive. I will probably get another one to replace the one the baggage handlers destroyed because I am genuinely impressed with this bag, especially for the price.

The quality is good, the color is beautiful, and it is a little heavy.But the rubber tastes a little strong and needs to be put outdoors to remove the smell.
