This bag is the most durable duffle bag I have had. The quality is outstanding, from the actual material it is made out of, to the zipper quality and the harness to wear it like a backpack. I had to test its water proof abilities, so I held it underwater in my pool to see how much water would get in, and not a single drop of water made it through. Not to mention, if you dont take all the air out of the bag it actually floats. When it was filled with air, it was able to support my body weight in a pool (160-165lbs). I am more than impressed, and will only be buying Uncharted Duffle Bags moving forward. I highly recommend.

I live in the tropics, so, have both vault sizes and use them to protect my clothes and other moisture sensitive items when I am not at home to protect from moisture.

I put an in-wash scent booster in the bottom and rosemary oil on a piece of gauge in a permeable bag, then into the Vault.

My last trip I was gone 14 months and when I opened the Vault, the contents were was as fresh as the day I closed it up.

I will say the disclaimer for Unchartered Supply, there are no studies to support this, and my disclaimer, there is no scientific evidence. This is just my personal experience.

TJ in Customer service is amazing. Receiving items can be an issue because of living in Hawaii and TJ has ALWAYS made sure I received product ASAP.

Love this company, their products and TJ

I have only had this bag for a little bit but am blown away already.

The first thing I wanted to test was how "waterproof" it really was. This bag is unbelievably. For starters, I had trouble submerging it. This bag took all 165lbs of me and my strength to even push it below the water surface (I did not take the air out of it with the air release valve, I left the air in it).

Not only did it keep everything in the bag 100% dry, but it is extremely strong and high quality material.

This could be used to keep stuff dry but I can also see it useful as a floatation device if needed.

It would be a great bag to bring along when kayaking or rafting as it floats, and would help you float if needed!

It is super tough, strong and high quality. This bag is built to last!
