Waterproof Is Our Specialty
The island of Kauai is one of the wettest spots on Earth, and it is here where we have developed our core competency of producing the world's best waterproof backpacks and dry bags. This is a necessity on this wet island, and not just any backpack will do. Rains come at a moment's notice on Kauai. When the rains do come, you will want to be prepared with a proven waterproof backpack that will absolutely seal out the rain, water and other elements.
Testing our waterproof backpacks in the clouds on Kauai's beautiful Kalepa Ridge Trail!
Our Kauai Surf Co. waterproof backpacks are tested from one end of Kauai to the other, from the Alakai Swamp Trail, the highest swamp in the world (and near Mt. Waialeale, a good candidate for the wettest place on Earth), to the famed Kalalau Trail, one of the most beautiful, and deadliest, trails in the world. This is our proving ground!
Elsewhere, the harsh landscape of Iceland is another favorite testing ground for our backpacks. Forged and tested in some of the most formidable climates, you can rest assured our waterproof backpacks will get the job done wherever you may roam.
The Many Uses of Our Backpacks
Our rugged, waterproof gear is perfect for a host of outdoor activities including surfing, swimming, hiking, hunting, camping, fishing, kayaking, rafting, caving, tubing, ATVing, bicycling, cycling, mudding, ziplining and adventure traveling to name a few. Whatever your outdoor activity, when you need to keep your gear dry and dust-free, you can trust our strong and durable waterproof backpacks and dry bags.

We've been surprised and pleased at the wide variety of people who use our waterproof backpacks. Students, surfers, hikers, campers, boaters, kayakers, snowboarders, travel adventurers... the list is long. The Kauai Fire Department uses our backpacks for training.
