Compact Waterproof Backpacks

The Sea to Sky Pack is Waterproof and Can Fold into Your Back Pocket

— June 7, 2017 — Fashion
The Sea to Sky Pack, designed by a Portland-based start-up stays true to its name as it provides a weather-resistant backpack that can handle any element.

Constructed entirely from condura material, this ultra-durable backpack is able to contain up to 24 liters, and promises to keep the entire contents of your pack dry, even if your bag is submerged in water. The backpack comes equipped with other features, including plentiful and adjustable side pockets, padded and breathable mesh straps to reduce sweat buildup, and a sternum strap to alleviate back pain. In addition to these features, the pack also includes a built-in 95 decibel emergency whistle and a reflective zipper to ensure that its wearer stays safe and visible at all times.

Backpacks have always been great for transporting things, but sometimes, transporting the backpack itself becomes a hassle. To combat this, the bag also weighs a shocking 5.5 ounces and can be folded into a portable sack that's smaller than a can of soda.
