washaway® Ripstop Carry Bag - Weather resistant and Durable
Explorers, keep kit dry through river crossings from day one
This is a bag for dirty miles, not hotel bathrooms. 100% waterproof nylon ripstop and a sealed water resistant zip keep socks, electronics, and maps intact when canvas would soak and tear. Built to collect scars on multi-day hikes and bikepack routes.
Water resistant zip
Sealed zipper so river spray and mud stay outside the kit.
Nylon ripstop hide
Sharp rock and pack-side abrasion meet a fabric meant to take scars.
Strap, pack, rinse
Clip to a frame, stuff in a pack, hose off at camp—no special ritual.
Field vs hotel kit
Ripstop that stays dry when canvas soaks
Ordinary pouches drink river water and fray on rock. This bag uses waterproof nylon ripstop and a sealed zip so essentials stay dry on crossings and mud.

Typical canvas pouch
Strap it, pack it, rinse it in minutes
No extra ritual. Load dry kit, close the sealed zip, ride or hike, then hose mud off the ripstop at camp.
-
Step 1
Load the dry kit
Drop hygiene goods, socks, or maps inside. Close the waterproof zip fully so the seal seats.
-
Step 2
Strap or stuff
Clip to a pack side or bike, or nest it in a duffel. Compact shape, no hotel-bathroom bulk.
-
Step 3
Rinse the scars
At camp, hose mud off the nylon. The bag is built to show miles, not to stay pretty.
Fit, care, and river-crossing questions
Leftover objections in trail language—size, zip, mud, and what the price actually buys.

Care
Will this swallow a multi-day electronics kit?
It is a compact travel bag for essentials—phone, headlamp, maps, socks—not a full duffel. Pack the dry kit you cannot afford to soak.
Can I strap it to a bike or pack?
Yes. Hikers and bikepackers clip or stuff it on the side of a pack or frame. It is built for dirty miles, not a bathroom counter.
Is the zip actually waterproof on a river crossing?
The zip is fully sealed and the shell is 100% waterproof nylon ripstop. Close it fully so the seal seats before you wade.
What happens when canvas would soak?
Ordinary canvas pouches drink water and tear. This bag is meant to keep kit dry through weather, mud, and sharp terrain.
How do I get mud off without wrecking it?
Rinse with a hose or tap at camp. Ripstop is built to collect scars; mud is not a crisis.
Why does it cost more than a cheap pouch?
You are paying for waterproof nylon, a sealed zip, and a bag that survives abuse instead of a soaked replacement mid-trip.
Made for the trip. Built for the scars.
Weather, mud, overstuffed packs and wet hotel counters. The sealed zip and ripstop fabric are built to take it all and still keep your kit dry. Every scuff is proof it’s doing its job.
Tested on real miles, built to last.

Ripstop's legendary durability means sharp rocks, rough ground, and brutal weather won't win. Whether you're crossing rivers, navigating muddy trails, or strapping it to the side of your pack on an unforgiving journey, this bag keeps your essentials dry and protected. It's designed to accumulate scars—each one proof of the adventure it carried you through.
Perfect for: Adventure travel, backcountry camping, bikepacking, multi-day hikes, water sports, overlanding, anywhere rugged terrain demands a bag with zero compromises.

How To Clean
- Empty the bag and shake out any loose bits.
- Wipe the outside and inside with a damp cloth and a little mild soap (a dissolved Wash Away laundry sheet works well).
- Wipe the zip clean, then rinse the cloth and go over everything once more.
- Leave it open and air dry away from direct heat.
Use Cases
Backcountry and trail: Clip it to your pack and forget about it. Mud, rain, rocks and river crossings are all fair game.
Boats, kayaks and ski-boats: Spray, splashes and wet decks won't get past the waterproof canvas and zip. Stash your essentials and get on with the day.
Beach days and surf trips: Salt, sand and sea air. Toss it in the boot, on the sand or on the board rack, and it comes back ready for the next one.
Camping and overlanding: Rattles around in the back of the bakkie, hangs off a tent pole, gets rained on overnight. It takes all of it.
Festivals and road trips: Crushed at the bottom of a bag, stepped on, dropped in a puddle. Double-layered ripstop was made for this.
Airports and carry-ons: When the adventure involves a flight, it slips straight into your carry-on with your TSA-friendly kit.
Everyday organiser: The same toughness keeps your cables, stationery and snacks safe on the daily commute.
