Best Waterproof Duffel Bags (Updated In 2024)

Aqua Quest White Water Duffel Bag

The Aqua Quest White Water duffel bag is available in 2 sizes, and in 3 different colors. The dimensions and capacities of the different sized duffel bags are below:

This waterproof duffel bag is pricier than the previous ones, but it certainly seems worth it. It’s made of ripstop fabric and has DWR coating – a feature that we often find in some of the best waterproof jackets. That is how you can be sure of the quality of the bag! In addition to that, the bag also has welded seams, which only reinforce its waterproof quality.

Apart from being incredibly durable, the bag is also very lightweight. The smaller one weighs only 1.6 lbs, and the larger one a mere 2.2 lbs. This is a great thing because these waterproof bags can get really heavy when you fully pack them.

You’ll also be plenty comfortable when carrying the bag because it comes with a removable shoulder strap. The strap can be attached to any 2 of the 6 D-rings, which is a big plus. You can adjust it however you like, and however, it makes you most comfortable.

For organization, there are 2 external rubberized meshed pockets that you can use to store any smaller items. Keep in mind that the pockets aren’t waterproof, so be careful when keeping electronics in them. Overall, this looks like a bag of really high quality, so I’d say that it’s worth the higher price. I just wish it came with wheels!

Firstgear Torrent Waterproof Duffel Bag

This waterproof duffle bag was also designed with motorcycle riders in mind, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not suitable for plenty of other activities. You can get it in 3 different sizes.

As you can see, it is made of a very durable, waterproof material. Not like those more fashionable leather duffel bags, they definitely leak!

It also features sonically welded sealing, which really helps it keep your belongings dry in all types of weather conditions. If you are looking for something sturdy and durable, I believe this is the waterproof duffel bag for you.

One downside of this bag is that there is no variety when it comes to design. It comes only in the color black, with a few red and grey details. However, there is plenty of variety when it comes to size, so you can choose the one that will suit your needs best. In terms of organizational space, the bag features one zippered exterior pocket that is also waterproof.

For your carrying comfort, there is a padded, removable shoulder strap. It attaches to the bag via carabiners, which won’t ever let you down.

There are also Velcro-closed carry handles, if you prefer to just pick it up and carry it in your hand. As for the motorcycle-specific design features, this duffel bag is equipped with several strategically placed D-rings that allow you to easily attach the bag to your bike.

OverBoard Waterproof Pro-Vis Duffel Bag

The OverBoard waterproof duffel bag is so waterproof that it can even handle quick submersion! Therefore, this is an excellent choice for you if waterproofness is your main concern. In terms of design, I have to say that this bag is nothing spectacular; it comes in 2 very bright colors that allow you to see it even in the dark, but which will also attract a lot of attention.

The bag features a Fold Seal system for closure; when you want to close the bag, you roll the top and secure it with straps. There’s one exterior pocket on the duffel bag, for smaller items.

Inside the bag, there are several mesh pockets, but none are waterproof. So, if you want to keep any wet gear inside the main compartment, I would advise you to first put it in a sealed plastic bag, particularly if you are also going to put any electronics in the duffel bag.

There are carry handles on the bag, and they can be closet together with a Velcro strap. Additionally, there’s also a removable, padded shoulder strap that attaches to the bag with steel hooks – a bonus. These are much sturdier than plastic buckles and are a personal favorite of mine.  Although, there are no compression straps.

Overall, this duffel bag is a great option for anyone who engages in a lot of activities that include water – kayaking, boating or just sitting around on the beach. It could also serve you as a gym bag or a travel bag, but it is rather large, so I would recommend something smaller.

Compared to the previous bag, this one is not cheap at all. However, it is a bag of very high quality, and it’s designed for people who need waterproof duffel bags to accompany them when boating.

BB Bags & Backpacks Extra Large Duffle Bag with Pockets

This waterproof duffel bag is made of 420D honeycomb polyester. This is a waterproof and sturdy material, so you can be sure that the bag will keep its contents dry no matter what. You can get it in 2 colors – green and pink.

With an 80 L capacity, you’ll be able to carry anything you might need with you, whether you are going kayaking or camping. A big benefit of this particular bag is that it has several exterior pockets. You can put any items you would like to have handy (for example your phone or tablet), and all the pockets can be closed off with YKK zippers.

This waterproof duffel bag has a removable, adjustable, padded shoulder strap, as well as padded carry handles. In addition to that, it folds into a small pouch when not in use, which is great for storage. It also has a separate shoe compartment, which also makes it a great gym bag.

The Bags&Backpacks duffle bag is available in one size, and you can check out its specifications.

Såk Gear DuffelSak Waterproof Duffel Bag

Sak Gear made this bag with 500-denier PVC, which is an incredibly sturdy material. That is coupled with watertight welded seams, which means that not a drop of water will be able to penetrate this bag. Seriously, it looks like you could use it as a life raft and the insides would still stay dry – the manufacturer, at least, claims that the bag can float without letting in any water.

Anyway, it will definitely protect your things in heavy rain, so it’s very suitable for camping or boating. You can close the bag by rolling down the top and snapping the side clips. This is somewhat less practical than just zipper closure, but it also does a better job at keeping out water.

This waterproof duffel bag is equipped with padded, removable backpack straps and carry handles that have Velcro closure

In terms of organization, there are 2 inner zippered pockets for any electronics or other small items, as well as 2 exterior zippered pockets. These aren’t fully waterproof duffel bags, so be careful before you go out and test the manufacturer’s floating claim.

The Sak Gear duffel bag is available in 2 different sizes and 6 different designs. You can see their respective dimensions and capacities.

COR Board Racks Waterproof Duffel Dry Bag

The ripstop fabric is a tear-proof material, so you can be sure that this duffel bag is incredibly durable, and not just waterproof. It has a zipper for closure, but the top is supposed to be rolled down and secured with 2 compression straps, so be aware that the bag will be smaller when properly closed. You can still fit a lot of items in it, and it’s a great option for wet outdoor activities.

The padded shoulder strap is removable. However, it’s not attached to the bag via a carabiner, but rather via plastic click buckles. I’m not a fan of this feature, because plastic is much more susceptible to damage than steel. Additionally, there are also reinforced haul handles that have Velcro closing, which will make carrying this bag a breeze.

As for the organizational features, there is a large exterior pocket that is water-resistant. There is also a smaller pocket on the inside and not much else, in terms of storage compartments.

This could be a downside – all of your stuff will pretty much have to be in the same compartment, and you probably don’t want your laptop to be next to wet clothes. However, that largely depends on what you plan to put in this waterproof duffel bag, but it’s important to know all the facts before making a purchase.

Arxus Travel Waterproof Foldable Storage Duffle Bag

This is a great bag for those of you who are looking for a waterproof duffel bag more suited for travel than camping. The slit on the back of the bag allows you to secure it to the haul handles on top of your suitcase, which makes it perfect for a carry-on.

And, the waterproof quality of the bag will keep your belongings dry and safe regardless of the weather conditions. So, if you are planning a trip and need something to keep your electronics safe from the rain, the Arxus duffle bag is an awesome choice.

Another travel-friendly feature of the bag is that it folds into a small pouch. This allows for easy storage because the folded bag takes up very little space. Additionally, the bag is designed more like a tote than a duffel bag, so it looks quite stylish. And, it’s very convenient for day-to-day use, especially in rainy weather.

However, don’t expect welded seams on this duffle bag. It is a very affordable alternative, so it’s most likely not very high quality. It is really lightweight, as well as made of waterproof tear-resistant material, so it should be good enough for at least a few months.

Don’t over-pack it though; some reviews I read said that the seams tore under too much pressure, so be careful. But, if you are prioritizing affordability over durability, then this is the perfect option for you.

If you are looking for a dirt-cheap alternative, this is the one.

LOBOO Waterproof Bag

This bag was designed with bikers in mind, as it has a lot of features that make it the perfect bag to attach to your motorcycle. It is made of PU leather, which is high-quality material (for a bag, at least). It’s 100% waterproof and features a roll-top closure. It even has an air release system that allows you to really utilize the maximum capacity of the main compartment.

Additionally, this duffel bag is not only waterproof; it’s also hail proof, snowproof, and basically weatherproof!

One particular benefit of PU leather is that it is very easy to clean, especially when compared to fabrics. When this duffle bag gets dirty, you just wipe it off with some wet wipes, and you’re done. One thing that I don’t consider beneficial is the lack of exterior pockets on the bag. Whenever you want to get something from it, you’ll have to open it and then reseal it again, which could get annoying.

The duffel bag comes with a removable shoulder strap, as well as carry handles that have a Velcro closure. It also comes with 2 dismantling belts, which can handle the weight of about 200kg, so don’t be afraid to pack absolutely everything you need in it.

It’s very sturdy and durable, and the only thing that I don’t like is that it’s not really suitable for an organizational freak like myself. But other than that, I’m sure it won’t let you down.

This duffle bag is available in one size.

Earth Pak Voyager Series Waterproof Duffel Bag (50 & 70L)

Another bag that has been waterproofed to the nth degree is this one from Earth Pak. They have used commercial-grade materials (500D PVC) and thermally welded them at the seams to ensure no water gets in. In fact, they recommend it for all kinds of water-related sports like boating, kayaking, sailing, etc.

Earth Pak hasn’t neglected organization either with two interior mesh pockets for your smaller items, as well as one large external mesh pocket with nylon coiled zipper – again waterproof. This provides you with an easy-to-get-to-pocket for items you do need to grab on the go!

There are also lots of handles, as well as MOLLE webbing, the kind you see on the likes of military gear (like the GORUCK GR2). This is great if you want to attach extra gear on the outside, or simply hang something from a carabiner.

All in all a well-reviewed and worthwhile investment for anyone needing a full waterproof duffel for the next weekend adventure!
