Lomo 40L Dry Bag Rucksack review - 08.07.2022

Ordered this for using on SwimHiking/SwimPacking outings. Email said it would be with my on Wednesday next week but it turned up today. Fast postage indeed Lomo, nice one. Like when we go SwimCamping, we always put our gear inside waterproof bags in case water gets in. You want to make sure that your essential kit is kept dry. Anyway, I put some towels, trunks and rash vests inside my 35L ortlieb dry bag, sealed it and put it inside the Lomo rucksack, closed it as instructed in the Lomo video. Went for a 45 minute swim in pretty choppy conditions. There wasn't even a dribble in the rucksack afterwards. Very impressive. I will still be double bagging my essential kit though. Is it an ocd or just erring on the side of caution?

    Thanks for visiting my blog!

    I've been a swimmer all my life and over the last several years I've done many challenging open water swims for charity all around our Islands which include the Sound of Barra & the Sound of Harris and both the Little & the Big Minch Channels to name a few.

    Having a real passion for open water swimming, I spend a lot of my spare time looking for and discovering amazing new swim spots around the Islands.
     
    I set up The Hebridean Sea Swimmers group in 2011 for all swimmers that live in or visit The Hebrides and it now has over 1000 members. I regularly meet up with visiting swimmers as I love to freely show off our Islands stunning swim locations.

    SwimCamping and SwimHiking are my new adventures and having such an amazing playground on my doorstep is fantastic, double bagging my kit into the Lomo waterproof rucksack and swimming to an island for an overnight stay or longer is just the best.
