So expensive. But I use it everyday. On my harley in the rain, to work, weekends. This backpack is my favorite. Holds weight well. Feel good on the back with weight. Looks wonderful. I'd buy again. Longevity will be the question

My husband and I purchased this bag to take boating to keep our personal items dry and safe. We love the look of it, and it is so functional. It is a bit on the heavy side so he carries it instead of me but otherwise we love!

Kayak Sunk in pre-Hurricane Sally with $10,000 camera set
Color: Panga 28, Storm Gray
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.

We bought this bag for an upcoming trip. We were in the mountains and rain forest, where it rained every day. Everything stayed dry and the bag truly is water proof. My husband was happy to carry it around since he's a big Yeti fan. Definitely worth it for the outdoors and any water based activity.

Great bag; poorly designed opening
Color: Panga 50, Storm Gray
I need a waterproof bag for bulky photo gear and this one would be great. Would be, but won’t be—the gear should fit in a bag with these dimensions, but there’s no way to actually get it in because the zipper opening is way too short. Why they didn’t extend it with fold-down flaps is a real head-scra
tcher for me. Generally love Yeti but had to return this one.

Unfortunately, I can’t do a detailed review, but the avid fisherman I gifted this to said he loves it for keeping his tackle box/lures dry as well as his rain gear and that it holds a lot more than he originally thought it would. He’s happy, so I’m happy!

This is my 3rd Yeti bag I’ve bought and probably not my last. I keep buying yeti bag because of the quality and the warranty. I had an issue with one of my other bags zipper and I emailed yeti within 2 weeks I had a replacement to my front door.
