Nite Ize  RunOff Waterproof 12 L Pack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary in exchange for an honest review. This is a unique style of waterproof bag - I have never seen one in backpack form before. It seems very waterproof, even the zipper seals nicely. The inside of the bag is a little smaller than what the outside seems, but still can hold a decent amount. I have just one beach towel in it in the photo. It is not the most visually appealing bag I’ve seen but is probably more for functional use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really sleek backpack with a cool zipper that is completely waterproof. You can fit a lot into this, but it also shrinks down into it almost being flat when there’s nothing in it. There’s no pockets on the outside only one big pocket on the inside. This would be perfect for someone who frequently does rafting trips

I recently tested this out as my personal item while traveling. It was admittedly a little small for carrying my usual stuff - battery bank, various cables, & wall plug in the small RunOff cube, a synthetic insulated jacket, small medkit, water bottle, Nintendo Switch in a case, etc. The external water bottle pocket helps a lot, and knowing that it's totally waterproof is a huge plus. It makes cleaning it after the trip a total breeze, and I don't have to worry about a bottle leaking due to changes in air pressure (I did however have to "burp" the pack when we got to cruising altitude!). It could benefit from being slightly bigger, but it did fit under a seat no problem. The shoulder straps could also use a little beefing up/padding for comfort, but the bare webbing wasn't as harsh as I expected. Note that besides the external stretch pocket, there is no organization on the inside, so having some extra pouches helps keep it tidy. I managed to fit a 2nd fleece in there, but it was tight and getting other items in and out meant pulling out half the contents to find what I wanted. All that said, the bag is small & easy to maneuver with, and the single zip makes it very simple to get in. I plan to use it more as a daypack, swimmin' hole bag, or attached to a kayak/canoe for certain trips, but it was fun to see how it would handle airport use.
