Ortlieb Duffle waterproof bag 60 L

Need to keep your stuff dry when canoeing, crossing waterways, or surviving in the post-apocalyptic water world? Rain covers help with rain but when things get really wet, you will be much happier with a waterproof bag. This tough 60 L waterproof duffle bag is ideal for a few days-long trips or extra gear. It protects your stuff from water and dirt and can be used as a regular bag or backpack. Our canoeing folks really like these.

• Two internal zippered pockets
• One outer zippered pocket (not waterproof)
• Daisy chain for fixing and attaching further gear
• Easy to clean

This is the second smallest of the Ortlieb duffle bags. It can be used as a regular bag or quickly converted into a backpack by using the padded handles as shoulder straps. Internal straps compress the volume, making it easier to close the zipper when the bag is full. Available in olive/black and black/black.

Use

A waterproof backpack/duffle bag is designed for people who adventure in extremely wet conditions. These work in regular camping and hiking as well, but they are ideal for canoeing. A backpack is a lot more comfortable to carry than a barrel during portaging. A nice bonus is that you can leave these out in the open overnight without getting your gear wet. This saves a lot of space in your tent. If you have bears in the area, you might wanna hoist the bag up in the air though.

Ortlieb makes these in several sizes. This 60-liter version is at its best on a few days-long trips or even shorter ones if you like to carry all sorts of stuff with you. Or as an extra bag for really long adventures. Even though these are extremely tough, you can poke holes in them with knives as such. So, don’t pack caltrops, spike mats, or other sharp implements inside.
