River’s Edge Waterproof Dry Backpack – Heavy-Gauge 500D PVC-Coated – 40 Liter

The 5ive Star Gear River’s Edge 40L Waterproof Backpack is designed for extended kayaking, canoeing, and rafting trips where you need to secure a full sleeping system, extra boots, and several days of food and electronics. We like backpack wearability and larger volume which is enough to pack for a weekend trip. Its natural buoyancy—ensuring up to 40 lbs of gear won’t sink to the bottom—along with non-corrosive hardware, a waterproof zippered external pocket, and welded seams make this backpack perfect for the water.
