Great service and a superb product

Great service and a superb product. Since January 2026 has now been recorded as the wettest January on record, I have definitely been able to test the bag and can confirm it is waterproof.

Fabulous products and friendly team

Fabulous products. We spend most of our our free time in or on the water and have so many of OverBoard's bags as they are robust and do the job. They are a friendly bunch as well - any communication we have had with this company has been great. Highly recommend.

Great product

Easy to order and I wouldn’t have purchased to be honest if it wasn’t in the sale and with a free gift so it felt excellent value money. It was a gift for my thrifty husband and we already use Overboard bags for going on boats. They’re perfect!

Excellent dry-bags!

Great quality bags, tough and waterproof, we’ve all had that dreaded experience of reaching in to your backpack to discover everything got soaked in that downpour, not anymore.
The add-ons are good too. Everything is well priced and delivered quickly.

Very disappointed with the product

Very disappointed with the product. It's very small not capable of holding much and the inside of the seal seems very flimsy. Certainly not worth the money.

Excellent packaway rucksack for travel

Good communication and fast delivery. The rucksack was as advertised and I used it frequently while on my travels for 2 months, having returned a few weeks ago. I didn't have to test how waterproof it was but liked the ability to seal the top and the fact it was lightweight and folded flat.
