\n Zhik\u2019s 30-liter Dry Bag Backpack makes it easy to haul your gear to the boat, and keep it dry in the bilge.<\/span>\n Courtesy Zhik<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n

A dry bag is handy for sportboat and offshore sailors, and it\u2019s even better is you can sling it over your shoulders when going to and from the boat. Most dry bags are great, but not all are created equal. Zhik\u2019s new 30-liter pack is built of a heavy-duty, waterproof fabric that will take the abuse of life in the bilge, and the roll-top bag features well-padded, mesh-ventilated shoulder straps, as well as a lumbar pad. If you\u2019ve ever used a backpack where the shoulder straps tend to slide off your shoulders, it won\u2019t happen with this pack\u2014a quick-release, sternum strap connects the two shoulder straps. About the only thing missing is a waterproof exterior pocket for a cell phone, a common oversight on most dry bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Zhik pack has a quick-grab handle (which can double as a hanging point) and a pair of compression straps to remove bulk when you\u2019re not carrying full volume, as well as a water bottle holder. What\u2019s particularly cool is that the roll top can be cinched down to two different points, with the first maintaining the pack\u2019s full vertical volume and the second reducing that volume by about a quarter, increasing the pack\u2019s versatility. Inside the pack is a 11×9-inch zipper pocket with a 10×8-inch elastic-closing pocket mounted on the outside of it, providing plenty of space to secure small, easy-to-lose items. As for the cavernous space remaining, let\u2019s just say, if you can\u2019t fit it in there, you probably don\u2019t need it. www.zhik.com<\/a> $119.99<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
