Celine Tan –
Would the Aropec Intertidal 20L be suitable for backpacking in areas with extremely heavy rain?
Junhao Lo –
thank you for considering our Aropec Intertidal 100% Waterproof Dry Backpack 20L for your backpacking trip. It is designed to be fully waterproof, with a waterproof rating of IPX7, meaning it can withstand being submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. The 100% waterproof material and sealed zipper design should provide excellent protection against heavy rain. However, please note that while our backpack is designed to be water-resistant, it’s not suitable for underwater activities or prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions. We would recommend using a rain cover or poncho in extremely heavy rain to provide extra protection.
