What is the Transporter WP Duffel?
Whether you're whitewater rafting with kit, heading on a diving expedition, or even river camping, the Transporter WP Duffel is the kit bag you need when water protection is a number one priority. It's completely waterproof, submersible even, and has a waterproof rating of IPX7, just in case you didn't believe us the first time.
What is it made of?
It's constructed using 630D Diamond Ripstop High Tenacity Nylon with a TPU coating to provide optimum durability and waterproofness. The material is bluesign® and GRS certified, verifying that it's much more eco-friendly than other standard materials. It also has a PFC/PFAS-free DWR coating that doesn't use chemicals harmful to the planet.
Ripstop nylon is extremely robust, meaning it can withstand bumps and scrapes against rough surfaces like jagged rock or sharp branches. The base of the bag is also reinforced with more fabric, where it's more likely to endure a beating. The TPU coating reinforces the material's durability and waterproofness.
A rating of IPX7 means that this bag can be submerged under 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes and still keep its contents dry. So, if you're crossing water to make it to your destination, rest assured your kit will be safe and dry inside should you be unfortunate enough to capsize.
What backsystem does it use?
Duffel bags generally don't have a specialised backsystem like the more technical Osprey packs. However, you can still mount this duffel on your back if you get sick of hauling it around on your shoulder. Simply hook the two padded straps around each shoulder and away you go - easy!
What are its features?
The Transporter WP Duffel has a large zipped entry for easy access into the whole main compartment. Inside, there's a removable organiser pouch for smaller items and compression straps to lock down the load and keep possessions in place once your journey gets underway.
Multiple external lashing and attachment points allow you to attach gear to the outside of the bag, saving space for precious or more essential items like clothing or electrical equipment.
The waterproofness is reinforced with YKK® Aquaseal submersible zips and RF welded seams, preventing liquid from seeping through the fastenings and stitching, even when completely underwater.
