Quick take
A waterproof fishing backpack with integrated rod holders and inflatable flotation for hands-free carrying.
This gray Xelfly backpack suits anglers who walk, wade or boat to their spots and want their gear kept dry. Its water-resistant zipper and submersible design guard what is inside, and an inflatable air valve adds buoyancy so the bag is less likely to sink. Integrated rod holders, a net sleeve and a sunglasses holder keep fishing tools within reach. Padded waist straps with gear loops and a sternum strap spread the load across the body and leave the hands free. The item weighs 3.16 pounds, and its listed package size is 17.72 by 12.8 by 4.65 inches.
