My Go To Adventure Bag

I have used this bag for years teaching paddleboarding on the river - it is my go to bag - perfect for day paddles, putting everything i need in for a guided trip for everyone else and easy to access and use. It has lasted so well, v durable, especially the bottom, love the water bottle pocket, the gear loops and pockets. Would wear this hiking if it had a hip belt!

My go to bag

This is the one constant bag that I take with me for swimming and or work when going abroad. For swimming it’s high quality, robust and takes in it stride and survives “planes, trains and automobiles…” Have used it for business in London and the computer insert is of great quality and most useful too. Have had mine for a while know and it still as good as new. If i was only allowed to take one bad on a trip it would be this one.

My favourite everything bag!!

In an age of everyone trying to sell you a million different things for a million different purposes... seriously, just get this bag. You don't need a seperate swim, work, hike, weekend bag if you have one really good bag!! This bag has literally been all over the world with me in all sorts of conditions and I have never once ended up with a wet laptop or change of clothes. The back support is comfortable, there's options to pop things on the outside of the bag through the straps, pockets or more. It's beautttt, and it amuses me that I can get complimented on the same bag at work and at the beach. There's an inside back pocket which fits my (pretty bulky) laptop, or I use to keep my books protected etc. And two small pockets on the front of the rucksack is peakkk for easy access to snacks/keys etc. This is my first roll top bag, and honestly I didn't reallyyyy like them before, but this is great because it means I can make it a moderate size rucksack (which fits under aeroplane seats if needed!) or also a HUGE bag if I've just done a small-turned-big food shop, or want to fit a bulky coat in it.

FANTASTIC

Great quality, sturdy and perfect for keeping my precious items safe from sand and water on the beach. I've also used it on my paddleboard, and the 2 outside drink holders are so useful for that.
