JMB56 Posted October 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I understand that I will receive a “Seabourn WaterShield Waterproof backpack” on my upcoming cruise to Antarctica aboard Venture. Has anyone seen or received one of these backpacks? My specific question has to do with its size. Would it be big enough to hold a mirror less camera with a telephoto lens, or should I bring my own waterproof camera bag? Thanks in advance for your help.

jjs217 Posted October 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2023 They are big enough to hold a large camera and a lens, BUT - they are a very flimsy plastic. Good enough for temporary use. I measured my husbands and it is about 24" X 14". I threw mine out as it didn't seem worth keeping. They are the kind that you roll down, and then clip together to keep things from getting wet. They don't have any external pockets. It's possible they have changed them since last December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, still the same when we sailed in August 🙂 My camera and my 400mm lens were always inside 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband disagreed with me. He said they aren't "flimsy plastic", but "thin nylon" and that they worked well and served a purpose. So, I stand corrected (that doesn't happen very often.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare highplanesdrifters Posted October 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I use mine in our city place when I walk to the grocery store. I load it with heavy cans and bottles. It has been holding up quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare markandjie Posted October 5, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 5, 2023 If it's the same we received in Iceland then it's a Helly Hansen made bag, which is a great brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
