Global 24/7 Backpack 25L in Black is built for days when your gear needs to stay protected, whether you're commuting through the city, heading to the beach or spending a weekend outdoors. With a generous 25L capacity, waterproof construction and a secure roll-top closure, this is a practical dry backpack designed to handle whatever the day throws at it.
The Global 24/7 Backpack combines the practicality of a waterproof dry bag with the comfort and convenience of a proper backpack. Its lightweight PVC construction features welded waterproof seams to help keep water, dirt and sand away from your kit, while the ergonomic double shoulder straps make it comfortable to carry.
The 25-litre capacity gives you plenty of space for everyday essentials, clothing, beach gear or outdoor equipment without turning the bag into a bulky load. When you're heading somewhere wet, sandy or unpredictable, it's the kind of dependable waterproof backpack that's easy to grab and get on with your day.
The roll-top closure creates a secure seal at the top of the bag, helping protect your belongings from the elements. The durable PVC construction and welded seams are particularly useful around beaches, boats and other wet environments where ordinary backpacks can quickly become soaked.
Double backpack-style carry straps distribute the load comfortably across your shoulders, making the Global 24/7 suitable for everything from daily commuting to camping trips, boating adventures and days spent at the coast.
25L capacity: Plenty of storage for clothing, equipment and everyday essentials.
Waterproof PVC construction: Durable PVC helps protect your gear from water, dirt and sand.
Welded waterproof seams: The seams are welded rather than simply stitched, helping create a more water-resistant construction.
Roll-top closure: A simple, secure closure system designed to help keep the contents protected.
Ergonomic backpack straps: Double shoulder straps provide a comfortable and secure carry.
This is a properly practical waterproof backpack for anyone who spends time around water. The 25L capacity hits a useful sweet spot, while the combination of PVC construction, welded seams and a roll-top closure gives it the protection you want from a reliable outdoor dry bag.
For surfers, paddle sports enthusiasts, campers, travellers or anyone who regularly deals with wet and sandy environments, the Global 24/7 Backpack is a simple, hard-wearing solution that won't overcomplicate things.
