Ling Xi Wu –
Does anyone know if the zippers are waterproof too?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Ling Xi Wu. Unfortunately, we do not have any information on whether the zippers are waterproof. However, I can tell you that the bag itself is made with heavy-duty waterproof fabric and 500 denier PVC construction. If you’re looking for added protection, I recommend contacting our customer support team directly and they can provide you with more detailed information. Others might also have similar questions, and we appreciate you bringing this up for our future customers.
Mei Hoon Ng –
I recently used the dry bag on a long hike. I loved the bag’s material and construction, but was surprised to find that the zippers struggled with sticking when there was rain or sweat. Could be an issue in colder weather.
Astrid Tjan –
I bought the Problue BG-8583-B a few months ago, and I have to say it has been a lifesaver on my recent backpacking trip to Thailand. The material is extremely durable, and the waterproofing has yet to fail even in heavy rain. I love the adjustable shoulder strap, it makes it so easy to carry around.
Kho Wei Lynn –
I have used the Problue BG-8583-B multiple times now for camping and kayaking trips and it’s consistently performed well. It’s not too bulky, and the shoulder strap makes it easy to carry. The only thing that I would like to see is a more secure closure system, especially for sensitive items.
Yaya Fatimah –
How heavy is it when empty?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Yaya Fatimah. According to the product description, the dimensions of the Problue BG-8583-B Dry Bag w/ Shoulder Strap are 24 cm x 60cm. However, we don’t have the exact weight information for the empty bag. If you need to know the weight, I suggest checking the product details on our website or reaching out to our customer service team directly. We appreciate your feedback and would be happy to help you with any further questions.

The Problue BG-8583-B is a great bag for its price. It’s sturdy and the material is water-resistant. It would be perfect if it had a compartment for laptops.
Abdul Manaf –
Can it be used in saltwater i.e. on island-hopping trips?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your review, Abdul Manaf! The Problue BG-8583-B Dry Bag w/ Shoulder Strap is designed to be waterproof and can withstand rough usage, but we can’t guarantee its performance in extreme saltwater conditions for extended periods. However, it should be suitable for occasional island-hopping trips where you might encounter minor splashes or light rain. If you’re planning to use it extensively in harsh marine environments, we recommend consulting our documentation for further information on its durability and maintenance.

The Problue BG-8583-B has been nothing short of amazing. The durable construction and adjustable shoulder strap have made my camping and hiking trips much easier.
Mohamed Nasir –
What would make me take it from 4.0 to 5 stars is if it came with reinforced stitching on the seams where we roll and unfold the bag. Very easily loses the stitching after a few months of use.
