Now I am looking for a 35L to 45L waterproof dry backpack.
I have several requirements:
1) Real backpack design, not dry bag tube with two narrow shoulder straps. This means there are real backpack shoulder straps.
2) Have a zip pocket at front, if do not have then an elastic bungee cord feature. It is understandable that this compartment will not be as waterproof as main compartment.
3) Left and right pocket for water bottle. Size matters here, I see a lot of design with extremely small side pocket, only good enough for an energy bar.
4) 35L to 45L, 30L also can accept, not smaller than this.
I have been searching online every where and find that in Malaysia two brands are readily available, namely Hypergear and Trendz.
Unfortunately for Hypergear, their nearest waterproof backpack to my requirement is the DryPac Pro Gold 30L. It is selling at RM344, but without side pockets. So I am not so keen on this choice.
Trendz seems to have a lot of options in their Facebook, I particularly like the following three models:
Their price also much more affordable. Unfortunately upon contacting them in Facebook, it is informed that these are all old models and already sold out, no plan for restock.
So that force me to search oversea. I find that this particular product fulfills my requirement completely:
Rockagator
However the total price from USA to Malaysia will become RM520+, I feel too much. The shipping fee really kill it.
Thus I left with the China Taobao website. They have a lot of options, although I didn't come across any that completely fulfill all my requirements but it can be compromised.
Now before I go ahead and buy from Taobao, I wish to check with you guys, do you know anywhere else in Malaysia I can find such waterproof backpack again? If I can purchase it locally I prefer that way.
Or if anyone still has a stock of one of the above three Trendz model I will be happy to deal with you.
