The roll-top closure (we recommend rolling it three times) and side-release zippers create a watertight seal to ensure your valuables (passport, phone, documents, etc.) stay safe and dry. Its flat base enhances stability and allows it to be stored upright in a locker or storage compartment, while the multiple semi-circular attachment points make it easy to secure to your dinghy, kayak, or the front of your paddleboard.

Available in 4 different sizes:

50 L	H: 79 cm / W: 32 cm	€ 55

Colors: Sulphur (fluorescent yellow), black, and Bluejay. The 50L bag is only available in black.

Our opinion

We tested the 10L version of the Voyager bag. It offers good waterproofing, and its fluorescent yellow color makes it easy to spot. The bag is sturdy and features a wide strap with hooks that can be positioned at the top or on the side. We found it easier to carry with the strap on the side, although the hooks are a little difficult to reposition (you have to press quite hard when the bag is new).

The best feature: the transparent strip running the entire height of the bag, making it easier to find your belongings. The smaller versions (5 or 10 liters) are convenient for slipping into a backpack for trips ashore.
