Waterproof Backpack
The bag is awesome but it got a 4 for one reason, the pocket on the inside is kind of ridiculous, it could have been better thought out, it only has two buttons to hold it up, which is enough to hold but the sides flap down and the bottom of it dangles out when your trying to reach in to grap stuff, it could easily have had more buttons to have it hold in place better. Also it would be nice it the pocket was a bit bigger or if there was some other kind of smartly placed storage.Also I think it would be better if the bag had more of a closing method like the fully submerge bags, or something similar for just in case you want to use in that way in not just for commuting, it would have a longer closing flap the rolls and then twists onto itself.The bag is awesome but those little details which I think are important details stops it from being the perfect bag.
