No matter where life takes you, be ready for anything with SKOG Å KUST waterproof bags. SKOG Å KUST, a brand named for the Swedish words meaning “Forest, Creek, Coast,” has been a staple in my everyday waterproof backpack lineup, giving my gear all weather protection whether I’m kayaking, snowboarding or hitting the beach. If you’re looking for a way to keep your gear dry no matter what Mother Nature throws at you, here are some of the SKOG Å KUST bags I personally use and that you need to have at the top of your adventure gear list.
The BackSåk Pro
If you only have one bag from SKOG Å KUST, make it the BackSåk Pro. Made with 420D TPU-coated rip-stop nylon and heat taped seams to keep out water, mud and sand, the BackSåk Pro is tough enough to withstand anything. Despite weighing only 2.3 pounds, the BackSåk Pro boasts a 35 liter main compartment with IPX-6 waterproof protection, a waterproof and airtight IPX-7 exterior pockets, and a padded and ribbed EVA foam back support for comfort when carrying. Mine has been dragged through the mud, thrown in and out of the car, tossed in a lake and dropped off a cliff, and it’s still going strong – this backpack is all but bullet proof.
