YETI Panga Series Airtight, Waterproof, Submersible Bags, Panga 28, King Crab, Panga 28

This bag is incredible. Besides being waterproof, it retains its shape which is great for protecting contents inside the bag.

Yes I love it!

A couple days before Hurricane Sally made land fall, the waters in the northern Gulf Coast were beginning to churn, yet still navigable for a well experienced kayaker (so I thought). As such, I made my way through various swamps and bays taking photos (with a $10,000+ professional photography set) of nature (eagles, osprey, pelicans, alligators, fish, dolphins, etc.) attempting to document how their behavior was beginning to change, with the incoming hurricane. It was an amazing day regarding capturing the wildlife on film, as they were more worried about the impending storm, rather than my presence, allowing the capture of some amazing shots. While I was out for that day trip, the storm had inched in a little closer and an outer band passed over, while I was in the middle of a fairly large bay. It came up so quickly that there was no making it to shore. I was in a "sit-inside-of" kayak, without a skirt/apron on it. The water went from glassy calm to 3-5 ft waves within 15 minutes. Within 30 minutes my kayak had taken on wave after wave. There was no avoiding it. The kayak was going to sink. I remember the last few strokes, as I pushed myself out of the sinking craft. There was a surreal 'Titanic-moment', as it went nose-up and slipped under the crashing waves of the turbulent water. As I watched the kayak leave me, several waves crashed over me, waking me from the trance. My Marine Corps instincts kicked in, and while I was in a situation that many people would have drowned in, fortunately, I was able to swim about a mile to a bridge that crosses over the bay, and climb up the embankment from there. The most dangerous part of the journey was the walk home along the major highway. But that is not the point of this product review. The point of the product review is to share with you that as I saw the storm clouds approaching and the waves begin to kick-up, I secured my professional camera gear in this waterproof Yeti backpack. As the kayak sunk, I positioned the Yeti such that I could easily disembark they kayak with it in-hand. Throughout the life threatening swim to shore, I towed the Yeti with my gear secured inside along with today's once in a lifetime shots, back to shore, occasionally leaning on it for a quick breather, in the midst of the radically wild crashing waves. Once I made it back to the safety of my home a few hours after going in the drink, I opened the Yeti, expecting to find ruined saturated gear - for even a Yeti could not hold up to what I had just experienced. I could not believe my eyes as I lifted my camera out of the bag. It was bone dry, as was everything inside the Yeti, even the small delicate lens cleaning cloths. It capped the end of a life threatening moment. The relief was so great to see that the Yeti saved the priceless pictures was such that I wept. A big burley salty crusty old man. . . wept. The Yeti backpack is not the most comfortable mountain backpack. If you want something to walk with for two or three miles down the beach, lake, or mountain trails, it is fine. It does not have the most organized inner partitioned space inside. It is not the biggest pack on the market. However if you need a backpack that will keep your most valuable priceless possessions dry, and even help save your life while it acts as an impromptu life preserver, then this pack is for you. If you are ok with your gear getting wet, then you could settle for something else. But if you are going into tough climates and environments with important gear, I highly, unhesitatingly recommend, without reservation, this Yeti product.

Awesome backpack I use it for camping and traveling. On top of that it’s waterproof

The quality of this backpack is amazing, it's made to be waterproof but I haven't used it in water yet, the color is very striking and everyone has a comment but it's a very different piece than all. Very expensive bag pack, the zipper is to strong that is not easy to open or close.

Love it, sometimes wish it had 1 more internal pocket. Also wish they could design a water tight double zipper..

Very comfortable. It is absolutely airtight. I have the yeti pouch attached to it. Makes it the perfect backpack for adventures. It is pricey but so far worth it.

Muy recomendado

Feels like it is made of rubber and not the fabric. If you are looking for something like that, then it’s a good option

Bolsa hermética de ótima qualidade.

Took this bag with us for three weeks in Hawaii. It got rained on and sat on the rocks by the ocean and never had any issues with moisture inside. It got banged up and beat up and still is the best dry bag I’ve owned. The zipper is stiff which can be a pain but it’s also what makes it waterproof. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

Très bon sac à dos , résistant. Je recommande fortement

It's tank ! Very expensive, but my best vacation companion. I take it to Mexico every time. You can snorkel with it and no additional floating equipment needed, just a mask. It holds you on the surface and very light. Highly recommended
