Survival Backpack

I purchased this bag last year in prep for a year long journey traveling throughout the USA and Central American. This is the best pack I’ve owned to date. It holds everything one would need to an extended adventure and packs down small and light enough for day trips as well. Completely waterproof and will even hold water if you need to. I use this thing everyday whether it be surfing, hiking, farming, backpacking... whatever. For the price you get a lot. The mole webbing is sturdy and can significantly increase your carrying capacity. Only 2 problems encountered: 1. The first bag delivered had a ripped seam where the straps attached to the bag. I called the company directly and the CEO of the company answered, who was a really nice guy. He sent a new bag out to me the next day. 2. The bag itself is very deep and dark so sometimes you need a flashlight to find what you are looking for.

I have purchased hundreds of things from Amazon but this is the first time I am taking the time to write a review. First, the bag is outstanding. Very heavy duty material, heavier than any of my other dry bags. The shoulder straps are broad and comfortable with a well-placed and adjustable chest strap. There is a waist strap for unloading your shoulders. There is padding on the surface that is in contact with your back. The bag is covered with Molle webbing everywhere so that you can customize it for just about anything you want. It came with three large accessory pouches and two smaller accessory pouches. There was a minor defect in one of the large pouches that I received. When I let the seller know, within 3 days he sent me not one, but two replacements. I just spent a week hiking and kayaking in Big Sur, Carmel, Monterey, and Lake Tahoe. I carried a whole family's worth of gear all week and the bag performed exceptionally. I will be purchasing more of these bags to give as gifts to my adventurous friends and family.

Fantastic, all purpose, rugged backpack. I just finished 3 weeks of working on a boat as a drone camera op and safety diver. Each day, we transferred to 1 of 3 smaller boats for the diving, research, etc.. This bag went everywhere with me. I kept a first aid kit, dry clothes, snacks, water, flash lights, a mini sump pump, an epirb and various other items in it. The larger size was perfect. Really appreciated the molle strap system on the outside for the included pouches, but even more so for the ability to lash things down. I kept zip ties, an emergency strobe light, a water bottle and a dive buoy hooked to the exterior. As you can see, on the smaller boat, it sat at the front for easy access and was constantly getting splashed - no interior water leaking at all. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a rugged, multi use, water proof backpack.

I returned the backpack because it is smaller than the description suggested. My 30L pack made by another company is much wider and thicker (front to back measurement). The Drakon appears to be a very well made pack. Thick waterproof material. The molle webbing is a nice feature but they should have extended it all the way down in the front. The height and width of the pack was good but the thickness (front to back) measurement was surprisingly thin. The pack won't stand up easily by itself. Small footprint. I use clip board cases for my job. They are about the size of a clipboard and roughly 2.5 inches thick to store paperwork and supplies. 2 clipboard cases is all the bag would hold. I could stack 3 in my other bag. Metal insulated coffee cup and a hoodie on top and the Drakon bag was full. Not enough usable space for my needs. It did feel good on the back. Better than my pack 30l pack from a different company. The Drakon would make a nice day pack or multi day pack. Not the best computer bag or work bag in my opinion.

''We are very pleased with this survival back pack and we plan to use it as a (just in case) "go" bag.The back pack is strong, waterproof, and has a plethora of equally strong pouches. Lots of room ! It is well thought out and quite comfortable to wear on your back. Very happy. However, there was a problem with our delivery which had nothing to with the excellent quality of the backpack. We reached out to the manufacturer and received an immediate response. The manufacturer truly believes in excellent customer service as evidenced by the fact that our problem was immediately resolved. The manufacturer went above and beyond to make us happy. Great product, superb customer service. Very confidence inspiring.

Bought the Drakon dry bag over a year ago and it has traveled hundreds of miles, both on trail and off trail, in pacific northwest rainforest, rain or shine. Whatever is in the dry bag stays dry. I usually carry a DSLR and 3 lenses along with extra gear in the dry bag. Dry bag material is extra heavy (which makes the pack heavy), I've never had any concern about punctures, tears, etc. MOLLE straps allow easy customization. Whatever storage schemes you can dream up you can make happen with all the MOLLE straps. I've added a couple of army surplus MOLLE waist packs to add about 20 liters of storage. I store food, water, and whatever else can get a little wet in the MOLLE pouches. This makes for easy access and organization - no digging around the main compartment to get the items you may frequently want. One minor complaint is the waist band. I was never able to support as much of the pack load with the waist band as I wanted. This was especially true due to the weight of the pack. In the end, I was able to replace the original waist band with a padded belt and a new 1.5" webbing belt/buckle. Problem solved! Despite the original waist band, the pack is still worthy of 5 stars. In the end, I added another 50$ worth of gear/accessories to the pack to make it just about perfect. There are no day packs which come even close to offering the protection, organization and volume of the Drakon pack.

I purchased this bag hoping for an upgrade from the bag I have used for years now. Island Contractor on the big lake in NH. This bag was intended to be my everyday carry for gear, rations, tools and any other essentials that I might need for year round lake operations. Out of the box the straps were falling out of their brackets. Clips did not stay connected. When you roll it down for a seal you can hear the air rushing out as it did not seal well at all. I restrung the straps, loaded it up and took it for a ride. No top handle and you can not use the seal roll as it comes unclipped if you weight it. The Molle pouches kept unsnapping under light use. Overall if you are serious about a quality dry back in this price range this is not it. I never expected it to be a Watershed bag but it wasn't even close to the quality it should be even for $159. I used it for a week and sent it back. Watershed pack it on the way.....

I love it. What an excelent tool for my daily adventures offshore. Even making the smallest size, it can be used as a carry-on in planes. Very good quality design, resistant materials and an excelent Customer Service. They solved all my doubts.
