I really love the Mares Dry Backpack! It’s sturdy, water-resistant, and has plenty of room for all my dive gear.

I’ve been using the Mares XR Dry Backpack for a few months now, and I’m really impressed with its performance. The material is durable and easy to clean, and the multiple compartments keep my gear well-organized. I’ve also noticed that it’s quite water-resistant, even when submerged in water. One thing I’d like to see improved is the zipper quality – it’s a bit stiff and can be tricky to open with dry hands.
Melissa Low –
I recently purchased the Mares XR Dry Backpack for my son’s dive gear, and he’s absolutely thrilled with it. The backpack is spacious and has plenty of pockets to store his gear, and the waterproof material gives him peace of mind. The design is also very modern and stylish, which is a bonus. Highly recommended!

How do I properly clean and maintain the waterproof material of the Mares Dry Backpack to ensure it lasts long?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out about the maintenance of your Mares Dry Backpack’s waterproof material. To ensure it lasts long, we recommend cleaning it with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the material. Additionally, make sure to rinse it thoroughly and let it air dry. For tougher stains, you can mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a bowl and gently scrub the area with a soft-bristled brush. This should help maintain the waterproof properties of your backpack. For more detailed information, you can also refer to the user manual provided with the product.

I’ve been using the Mares XR Dry Backpack on my dive trips, and I must say it’s been a game-changer. The waterproof material keeps my gear dry, even in rough seas. The reinforced design is also very sturdy and can withstand rough handling. My only complaint is that it’s a bit bulky, but that’s a small price to pay for the peace of mind it gives me. Overall, I’d highly recommend it to any serious diver.

Is the Mares XR Dry Backpack suitable for surfers who need to carry their wetsuits and other gear?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your question, Nathan! The Mares XR Dry Backpack is a versatile and water-resistant bag that can accommodate not only dive gear but also other water sports equipment. Although it’s primarily designed for scuba diving, its spacious interior and reinforced construction make it suitable for carrying wetsuits, surfboards, or other surf gear. However, if you’re looking for a bag specifically tailored for surfers, you might want to consider our Mares Surf Backpack or other surf-focused products. Would you like to know more about our surf gear or have any follow-up questions?
Ryan Lee –
Does the Mares XR Dry Backpack have USB charging ports or compartments?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out, Ryan Lee! Our Mares Dry Backpack designed for divers is mainly meant for storing and transporting your dive gear, not for being a portable charging station. It doesn’t have built-in USB charging ports or compartments for charging your devices on-the-go. However, the pack is perfect for keeping your gear dry, protected, and organized during water activities. We recommend using a separate waterproof bag or pack with dedicated charging compartments for keeping your devices powered.
