A comfortable bag on a yacht is an indispensable item. Interparus presents six models that are worth paying attention to before your cruise.
The storage bag is ideal for traveling on both a large yacht and a small boat. Its main advantage is its ease of use: unlike hard suitcases, the bag can be easily folded and stored under the bed or in a locker, which saves space on board.
How to choose a bag for yachting? The main requirement: it must be waterproof. It is also important to have durable and comfortable handles or straps to make it convenient to carry the bag at least from the car to the boat. A long shoulder strap would be useful.
The third important point is that the size of the bag should match your needs. For example, for short trips you don’t need large bags, but for a long stay on a yacht you should choose a more spacious option. Let's move on to our list!
Lomo 30L bag
Lomo's 30 liter waterproof bag offers good value for money. One of the main advantages of the bag is its reliable connecting seams, which additionally protect luggage from moisture.
The bag is made of polypropylene and has a comfortable shoulder strap for carrying. Due to the welded seams and polypropylene, Lomo 30L will ensure almost one hundred percent dryness of the contents. The manufacturer promises to keep things dry even after a short immersion in water.
Advantages: price, effective waterproofing.
Disadvantages: may harden in the cold due to the thickness of the PVC layer.
Price: 36 £
Helly Hansen Offshore 50L bag
Helly Hansen, a well-known manufacturer of sports equipment and clothing, offers a 50-liter Offshore bag. This is an ideal choice for those who are interested in active yachting and long sea passages. One of the unique features is the ability to attach the bag to the roof of the car.
Unlike the Lomo model, the Helly Hansen Offshore does not guarantee an absolute seal when submerged in water, but does have strong welds and comfortable handles.
Advantages: Spacious, comfortable handles.
Disadvantages: The level of water resistance leaves much to be desired.
Price: 135,00 €
Typhoon Dry Duffel 60L
The 60-liter Dry Duffel is made from durable 500D canvas that provides some of the best water resistance on the market. The bag has removable straps in several configurations to enhance ease of use.
The material of the bag is durable and practical, but, unfortunately, the model only has a few external pockets. However, one of the main advantages of the bag is its valves, which make it easy to deflate the air, significantly reducing its volume and saving storage space.
Advantages: 100% waterproof, large storage capacity, valves.
Disadvantages: lack of a large number of external pockets.
Price: 81 €
Red Original Kit Bag
The Red Original Kit Bag is available in various sizes. Waterproof zipper and secure welds provide a high level of moisture protection. Bags in this line have earned popularity due to their durability and reliability.
Instead of the Original Kit line, a new line of Waterproof Kit Bags was introduced with almost identical characteristics, but an increased number of pockets. The model range includes options for 40, 60 and 90 liters.
Advantages: availability of several versions, durable and reliable materials, external pockets, waterproof zipper.
Disadvantages: not detected.
Price: from 150 to 200 £ (depending on model).
Bag Zhik 45L Submersible
Zhik continues to follow the tradition and introduces one of the best waterproof bags on the market. Despite the relatively modest volume of 45 liters, this model offers a variety of configurations and excellent capacity.
The bag is equipped with special compartments for separate storage of dry and wet items, while wet items will not be able to wet dry items. Transparent interior partitions make it easy to find the items you need, making the use of the interior space as efficient as possible.
Advantages: 100% waterproof, intelligent use of interior space.
Disadvantages: price.
Price: 250$
Gill Rolling Duffels
Gill Rolling Duffels are a cross between a bag and a suitcase. The bag has soft but durable walls, handles, a strap and form factor, and the suitcase has comfortable wheels for transportation. A large number of external pockets will also be a big plus.
While this bag isn't fully waterproof, it will be protected from normal splashes, so there's no need to worry if you don't intend to submerge it underwater. The convenience of the wheels, combined with numerous advantages, should compensate for the potential disadvantages in waterproofing.
Advantages: wheels, durable handles, external pockets.
Disadvantages: rather weak moisture protection.
Price: 165 $
