Valiant 30: Waterproof Hiking Daypack

Choose the Valiant 30 if:
You hike in unpredictable climates and don't want the hassle of carrying a rain cover. You're looking for a completely waterproof backpack.
You're passionate about water sports: kayaking, paddleboarding, boating… you need a backpack that can withstand sea spray and splashes.
If you plan to travel to wet, muddy, or rugged environments and want to protect your electronics and clothing, the Valiant 30 is for you.
You want a 2-in-1 system to separate dry and wet, or clean and dirty, gear.
The Valiant 30 will be your ally in this case too! The external bungee cord system will secure your muddy shoes or wet rain jacket.
You want a packable bag. With the Valiant 30, you benefit from the durability and lightweight feel of premium 420D nylon, easily packed into a suitcase or larger backpack.

The Valiant 30 backpack is 100% waterproof (IPX6 rating). It can therefore withstand heavy torrential rain, powerful splashes, and waves during your kayaking or rafting trips, for example. However, please note that it is not designed for prolonged immersion. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. The Valiant 30 is a premium roll-top waterproof bag. Its waterproof seal is ensured by the folds at the top. It effectively protects your gear in case of accidental immersion in a river, for example. It even floats on the surface. However, prolonged immersion could lead to water seeping in at the folds. For optimal protection, we recommend keeping your Valiant 30 above the waterline!

The Valiant 30 is built to handle a surprising amount of gear, but for the best experience, we recommend a maximum comfortable load of 18 to 22 lbs (8 to 10 kg).
Staying within this range ensures that the ergonomic shoulder straps provide optimal cushioning and weight distribution.
Because the Valiant 30 measures 20" x 10.6" (52 x 27 cm) when rolled shut, it has a deep, spacious main compartment. It is perfect for a full "sports outfit", including shoes, a jacket, hydration, and your tech essentials, without feeling bulky or overstrained.

Yes, absolutely! The Valiant 30 is an excellent travel companion as it generally fits within the standard carry-on dimensions for most major airlines.
One of its biggest advantages is the adjustable roll-top design. Its height is 20" (52 cm) when closed with three rolls. You can easily compress the bag further if it’s not fully loaded, allowing it to fit into those tight overhead bins or even under the seat in front of you on many flights.
The Valiant backpack is ultra-light (only 1.2 lbs), leaving you more room for your equipment. Plus, it's the perfect "destination bag"—once you land, you're immediately ready for any weather condition!
