I ordered the OverBoard Waterproof 20 LTR Pro-Sports Backpack - Yellow to use on my daily commute to work. I ride a motorbike to work and with the UK weather I needed a backpack that is waterproof. I am impressed with the quality of the backpack, once you roll the top, the air inside can't come out, that how watertight it is.

I can carry a pair of shoes and my laptop, however keep in mind that it is a backpack, not a laptop bag, so there isn't any padded pocket inside to protect your laptop.

The backpack went missing when delivered by the courier company, so I contacted Amazon and they were really good. The sent a replacement next day and took care of the rest, hassle free.

I ordered this backpack as an upgrade from the little rucksack that I was using at the time. I am a cyclist and required a hi-viz, all-weather backpack which would have enough room to ferry all my uniform (including large boots) and other bits and bats to and from work.
I thought the roll down top was a little strange at first but now I thing it is ingenious! It means that the backpack is a 10 Litre when that is all that is required and a 20 Litre if it needs to be. It is truly watertight, looks good and is very well-made and durable. The strapsare very robust and comfortable and the padded spine sits comfortably against me back.
I cant imagine cycling without it now and would recommend it for sure. A top piece of kit

Ordered this backpack the other week, not only did it come very promptly but it is seriously cheap for what you are getting. I bought it for my cycle/motorbike ride to and from University, pretty essential to keep laptop and assignments dry whilst getting to and from, and cannot fault this product!

Simple to use, light, pretty spacious and great value for money. Also the built in reflectors and not to mention the bright yellow material make it ideally suited for commuting. Need a completely waterproof backpack to fit laptop and a few other essentials? Then this is for you!

I haven't had a chance to really put this bag to the test as the weather hasn't been too bad.

I bought it mainly for my commute to work on a motorbike. Need a bag that really is waterproof for when it eventually chucks it down with rain. That said, it's equally as good when just out an about. Only down side I can find is, on a hot day, my back will get a bit sweaty as it's not very well ventilated. Not a major issue for me personally, but some may find it uncomfortable.

It's actually surprisingly big inside as it only has one compartment. Chuck your stuff in, roll the top down, clip it up and forget about it.

I bought this for the daily commute to uni(mature student). I cycle about 10 miles a day and thought that the bright colors and hi-vis strips would be a sensible choice for the dark winter months.

At first I ordered the 30ltr variant but changed my mind because I thought it might be too big for daily use(oh, and amazon dropped the price by 10gbp after I had ordered it!) Either way, the 20ltr is a very smart, compact bag. I'm 6ft + and it doesn't look ridiculously small on my back, and the shoulder straps are VERY comfortable.

Having chosen to go smaller, I read the reviews on this site and was still a little apprehensive that my 15.6" laptop might not fit with books etc. But for the record, I purchased a targus zamba sleeve threw my laptop in and everything fits fine.

I just cannot recommend this bag enough, it's build quality is fantastic. Good seams, well padded back and straps. It has left me wanting to replace some of my old Mountain Equipment gear I use sailing with Overboard branded rig.

Lastly, overboard do seem very reasonably priced when compared to other brands of outdoors kit. The quality certainly appears to be there. But I have seen several price changes on this site in the last couple of days and it's frustrating for consumers! I bought my 20ltr for 30gbp and at that time the 30ltr had just gone down to 34gbp. At this price, I feel I got a bargain - and I'll be looking out for OB gear in future.

Bought this bag for backpacking used it as my day pack. Bag was good as I was travelling during the rainy season and didn't have any problems with items getting wet. Bag is comfortable on the back and to carry. the only downside is that there is no divides inside the bag so items can be difficult to find. I also use this bag when I go diving/kayaking, the bag does keep items dry. Good product would be great if the interior had more divides.

Bought this for fishing. Well put together and has a quality feel about it. Has plenty of space inside with an internal zipped part for smaller items.

I needed a waterproof Laptop bag for my motorbike journey to work without paying silly money. This fitted the bill perfectly it's not specifically designed to take laptops. But if you place your laptop in a neoprene skin it'll be adequately protected. And after riding to work a few times in Fairly Heavy Rain Storms it's always reached the other end bone dry on the inside.

It's not particularly spacious but enough for the Laptop a bit f Lunch and a couple of other small things.

I cycle 5 miles to work everyday so I needed a waterproof pack, the 20lt size is as big as you want for a commuter, they come in yellow or blue wetsuit type material. The pack has click chest and waist straps and the top of the pack rolls down sealing out the rain with click down straps, all easily adjustable. Just a brilliant backpack!

Swift delivery. Well made great design for men or women. Great for on the bike ESP if it rains. Superb product and I'm very happy with it.
