What's the most annoying thing about going camping, backpacking, or hiking in the rainy season? Probably the most annoying thing is that you haven't reached your destination and your gear is all wet. It doesn't even need to rain, you just have to walk beside waterfalls, cross rivers and creeks to experience this. This is why those veterans of hiking and camping will emphasize the importance of waterproof backpacks.
Waterproof backpacks have many benefits that ordinary everyday backpacks can't match. However, some waterproof backpacks with the best waterproof technology are quite expensive. That's why many people don't buy a waterproof backpack, no matter how good it is. In yesterday's content, we mentioned five tips to make your backpack waterproof, even if you don't buy a waterproof backpack, you can make it waterproof.
A true waterproof backpack has many benefits, but pay attention when choosing. Because there are two kinds of "waterproof backpacks" on the market. Friends who like to buy outdoor watches and outdoor equipment often see two words on the products: Waterproof and Water-resistant. Without knowing both, it's easy to buy the wrong waterproof backpack. Waterproof and Water-resistant both mean waterproof. But Waterproof is more waterproof than Water-resistant. Waterproof backpacks are labeled Waterproof, which means that you can completely submerge the backpack under water without worrying about the contents of it getting wet.
You can walk under waterfalls with a backpack or walk in chest-high river water without worrying about getting your gear wet in your backpack. Water-resistant backpacks that are labeled Water-resistant are not as water-resistant as Waterproof. Water-resistant also doesn't provide the same protection as Waterproof. For outdoor activities, a waterproof backpack with a Water-resistant label is better for hiking in light rain or boating in calm waters. However, if you're planning on whitewater kayaking, or paddling in rough waters, you'll want a Waterproof label more than a Water-resistant label. Whether you are buying outdoor clothes or outdoor watches, if you want to know the waterproof effect of the product, you can look at the waterproof label of the product.
The benefits of a truly waterproof backpack: 1. Full protection of your equipment The most obvious benefit of using a waterproof backpack is that it protects your belongings from water damage. Waterproof backpacks are safe for mountaineering, camping and other activities that involve a lot of water. Remember gentlemen though, these are only for backpacks that are 100% waterproof. Backpacks with water-resistant or water-repellent labels provide no protection in extremely harsh conditions.
2. Durable From fabrics to zippers, the best waterproof backpacks are made with waterproof materials. At the same time, manufacturers also use high-end technology to create waterproof backpacks, which combine to form a backpack. It provides comprehensive protection for your gear and equipment. At the same time, it is also a durable backpack. For example, waterproof backpacks are often made with tightly woven polyester or nylon fabrics that have small holes and are impervious to water. In addition to this, the fabric is also coated with PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PU (polyurethane), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) coatings. It not only improves the waterproof ability of the backpack, but also enhances the protection of the backpack. The waterproof backpack is also manufactured using a method called RF welding (radio frequency welding), also known as HF welding (high frequency welding) or dielectric welding. Using electromagnetic energy to fuse materials together has become the industry standard for making waterproof bags. With this method, there are no pinholes for water to pass through.
