Our Verdict
The Rackpack holdall is a 100% waterproof, tough travel bag that can be used for anything from carry on luggage to cycle touring. The lightweight bag offers a large single compartment and has 2 horizontal compression straps to clinch in any excess material to prevent your kit from moving around in transit.
It has a wide top opening which allows easy access and closes by using a roll top closure with stiffener bar like many dry bags. Once packed and rolled down, each end can be fastened in place via a plastic snap lock buckle. It has a removable, easily adjustable, over the shoulder carry strap which also has a floating and removable padded load bearing section. The strap is on pivoting hooks, meaning it is unlikely to twist. It also has 2 large attached carry handles to make transporting it even easier. The holdall is available in 4 sizes and 7 different colours so there plenty of choice.
