View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise this backpack for exceptional waterproof performance and lightweight, packable design. Reviewers consistently report that contents stay completely dry in rain, snow, and even submersion, with electronics and essentials protected reliably. Many appreciate its compact foldability, ability to fit into luggage, and suitability as a day pack or emergency bag. However, some note limitations in interior organization, citing a single main compartment with minimal pockets and insufficient capacity for longer hikes or bulkier gear. A few mention awkward closure mechanisms or durability concerns. Despite these drawbacks, most consider it a dependable waterproof solution for travel and outdoor adventures.

Nice bag
Used for: Travel
It is truly waterproof. The bag held a lot. I found it difficult to get into quickly with the way the top is secured.

Great place to store my camera on a rainy day!
Purchased at an LL Bean store so I could see it first hand. I really like that it's waterproof and has two water bottle pockets.

Comfortable pack
I've been using this pack for a while, though I haven't used it in wet weather. It's my second "Stowaway" pack. The other one is water resistant, not waterproof, which is why I got

OK nothing special
I bought the pack on sale. To be fair I have not put it to the test yet. I bought it to put hunting gear in the back of the truck or take fishing so it wouldn't get wet inside.

This backpack IS stowaway!

Do not listen to the negative reviews on this not being a stowaway backpack. The backpack turns in unto itself from the backflap, thus forming the pouch. There is NO separate pou

Water resistant but a bit small
This bag needed was too small. We needed a waterproof backpack for shore excursions on our trip to Alaska, but this bag didn’t hold anymore than a water bottle, a thin rain jacket

One of the seams on the straps has started coming apart despite having had it for less than a month. Otherwise seems like a great bag.
