Seattle Sports Downstream Duffel

I have just purchased a second one of these (jumbo model) from Amazon; I've owned another one for 10 years. These are really well made, bullet proof bags that will keep all your stuff dry unless you submerge the entire bag in water.

These bags don't have a stiff shape, so you can load them with tons of stuff. The seams are all completely watertight, and the only way water can get in is through the top zipper, which is protected by a large Velcro flap that covers the zipper, so even in driving rain, it stays dry inside. I have looked out the window of an airplane and seen my bag sitting in the rain on the tarmac, and I know my clothes will be dry when I get to the luggage carousel.

There are no dividers, no pockets, no key loops of other gadgets inside; just a giant canyon of dry storage. The bottom isn't stiff either, so when you lift from the supplied shoulder strap, the bag will tend to fold or bend a little in the middle. I usually carry the bag with the handles so it's not an issue. I have loaded it with over 50# of stuff without a problem. It will carry heavy clothes, boots, camping gear etc.

After 10 years of use in airports, buses and boats, my old bag is still going strong. Highly recommended.

Although, I love the bag itself but I was so sad when only a week after being used I tugged on the handle and the plastic joiner snapped. Grrrr. I bought four carabiners to replace the flimsy plastic pieces.

My wife and I typically travel to the coast 6 times a year and the majority of our luggage ends up in the bed of the pick-up for the trip over. After driving through rain in the past we both tired of having to dry our clothes when we reached our destination. I researched several options and finally decided on the Seattle Sports Downstream Duffle Bag (Large) and bought two. What a great product. You can fill them with enough clothes and accessories for a week. They are very well made with heavy vinyl material and should last many years. No doubt they will pass the "rain" test and one of the best attributes is that they are made here in the USA.! I highly recommend them.

I bought one of these bags for motorcycle adventure and hunting trips. The material is durable and the bag remained water proof during rain and two river crossings. It's a solid buy.

Used this to carry my clothes on the front of my little tear drop trailer. It worked fine for the first 3 weeks of my trip, even in the rain! then....................the rain turned to rain and wind and while driving clothes in the top part of the bag, that were loose, got wet. Not a problem for me, then but I wouldn't trust it to fall in water and keep things dry. worked Ok for what I needed.
