I’m glad I have Outdoor Research’s new DryComp Ridge Sack in my arsenal. It’s one of those packs that’s absolutely perfect for anything wet and yucky: rainy bike commutes, ocean trips on dive boats, peak bagging in storms, hikes in rainforests, or days in a kayak. The list is endless. If it’s gonna be wet, I take my OR DryComp Ridge.
I got to test out this 34-liter bag in California on a recent hiking trip to the Channel Islands National Park. No peak bagging, no rainforests, no wet bike commutes — but a wet boat ride to the islands, and then a really wet boat ride on a skiff through a huge swell to get to the beach. We unloaded and were totally soaked – but all my food, camera gear, and clothing were completely dry. Big points for OR’s backpack.
