Dry gear, wet days

For fishing off the rocks, paddling the river or hiking through a soggy Victorian winter, this is the pack that keeps your phone, wallet and spare layers bone dry. It's built on the same tough bones as the Panga Duffel, but carries like a proper backpack.

The waterproof, leakproof zip seals the bag airtight. The ThickSkin Shell is high-density nylon that resists punctures, and the moulded EVA base gives it a waterproof landing pad on wet ground or a boat deck. DryHaul Shoulder Straps are padded for comfort, plus a chest strap and waist belt, both removable, for stability on uneven tracks. Inside, a stowaway mesh pocket and an interior sleeve keep small bits organised.

There's a HitchPoint Grid on the outside that's compatible with the SideKick Dry. One thing to know: it keeps things dry, but it won't keep them cold.

Que tip

Squeeze the air out before you seal it if you're packing light. The bag sits flatter on your back and packs easier.

FAQs

Is the Panga 28 actually submersible?

Yes. Once it's properly closed it's airtight, so nothing, air or water, can get through. RF-welded seams and the HydroLok zipper do the heavy lifting there.

How do I know the seal is closed properly?

Run the zip all the way shut, then squeeze the bag and listen for escaping air. If you hear any, check the zip is fully closed and test again.

How tough is it?

It has a puncture-resistant ThickSkin shell, an EVA moulded base, QuickGrab lash points that are reinforced, MetalLock hardware and the HydroLok zipper, all heavily tested for durability.

Can I use it to keep food cold?

No, the Panga isn't a cooler. It's a dry bag for keeping gear protected from water and weather, like spare clothes, jackets or fishing gear.

How do I clean it?

Wash it with dish soap and water, rinse with fresh water and dry the inside well. Lubricate the zipper, and once dry, store it with the zip closed.

Can I add a Sidekick Dry?

Yes. The HitchPoint Grid on the outside works with the Sidekick Dry.

What warranty does it have?

YETI covers the Panga range with a 3-year limited warranty.
