It doesn’t matter what you’re transporting, you will want what’s inside your bag to be dry. You could be kayaking through rapids or portaging a canoe through the forest a waterproof duffel bag will give you peace of mind that your gear is safe.
This is especially true if you’re a photographer or want to bring along a laptop. These pieces of equipment can cost thousands of dollars to replace if they get wet. Even though duffel bags can cost more than regular ones, you won’t have to fork over money to fix or replace the gear you’re carrying.
