Waterproof roll-top backpack

The Swiss Gear 5173 is a 10L waterproof backpack built from abrasion-resistant PVC with a roll-top closure that seals out water. A removable single shoulder strap lets you carry it as a sling or pack it flat. The transparent front panel allows quick visual access to contents and lets you operate a phone screen through the material. It is designed for kayaking, boating, swimming, camping and beach use.

For wet-environment gear protection

Suits anyone who needs a compact, fully waterproof pack to keep electronics, clothing and toiletries dry during water sports or heavy rain. Not suited for buyers who want a structured everyday backpack with internal organisation, a padded laptop sleeve or a hip belt for heavy loads. The single-strap design and soft body also make it a poor choice for long-distance hiking with substantial weight.

10-litre roll-top dry capacity

The 10L volume fits an iPad mini, a change of clothes and a toiletry bag, while the 5L version covers smaller essentials. Rolling the top edge adjusts the effective capacity and creates the watertight seal. This single capacity figure determines whether the bag can hold your specific kit for a day on the water.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Swiss Gear 5173 10L backpack and is anything sold separately?

The box contains the 10L waterproof backpack made of thickened abrasion‑resistant PVC and a removable single shoulder strap. No extra accessories or separate purchases are mentioned.

Should I choose the 5L or the 10L version of the Swiss Gear 5173?

The 5L holds a phone, keys, umbrella and power bank. The 10L fits an iPad mini, a change of clothes and a toiletry bag, making it better for camping or longer trips.

How does the roll‑top closure on the 10L Swiss Gear 5173 keep gear dry in real use?

Rolling and folding the top edge creates a watertight seal; the adjustable strap lets you compress the bag further so contents stay dry during kayaking, boating or heavy rain.
