FAQs
Submersible means no water will get in when properly closed. In fact, we've tested this to IPX7 ––a global industry rating. That means when zipped, the contents inside of the bag are protected against water immersion for 30 minutes at a depth of one meter.
Close the zipper completely by sliding it fully into the U-Dockâ„¢ and apply pressure. Listen for any air that might have broken the seal. If you hear or notice any air leaks, make sure the zipper is fully closed and then test again.
Yes, with our Panga® Waterproof Duffel, you’re prepared with an ultra-durable, waterproof, gear fortress engineered for off-grid adventures. Our HydroLok™ Zipper offers zero access points for rogue wetness and can withstand getting dunked while keeping everything 100% dry.
A mixture of dish soap and water will do the trick. Rinse with fresh water, thoroughly wipe the inside dry, and apply the zipper lubricant. When dry, store your Panga® Bag in the fully closed position.
The ThickSkinâ„¢ Shell material, EVA molded bottom, MetalLockâ„¢ Hardware, reinforced QuickGrabâ„¢ Lash Points, and HydroLokâ„¢ Zipper are all extensively tested and proven to be highly durable.
Built for hard miles
Our Bags are expedition-grade haulers engineered for hard miles, foul weather, and brutal schedules. From river shuttles to red‑eye connections, they protect and organize the gear you rely on. They play clean with the YETI ecosystem—Rambler drinkware, Crossroads packing cubes, and our coolers—so your carry system works from truck bed to skiff.
Here’s what that delivers on the water, road, and trail. Panga gives true submersible, 100% waterproof protection for electronics, dry layers, and maps when storms stack up. Crossroads balances all‑day comfort with dialed organization for travel and daily carry. Camino stands up, rinses out, and swallows wet waders, ropes, and dog toys without complaining. Ranchero and Cayo round out the kit with tough, purpose‑built duffels and utility bags that take mud, sun, and salt, then ask for more.
Under the hood you’ll find materials and tech built to last and built to task: Panga’s ThickSkin shell with a HydroLok zipper keeps water out and pressure in, even when the boat deck disappears; Crossroads uses TuffSkin nylon and a GroundControl Base for abrasion resistance and structure; Camino’s big‑mouth opening, EVA molded base, and deployable dividers keep wet and dry in their lanes; Ranchero duffels bring wide‑open access and lash points for fast loads; Cayo utility designs add quick‑grab tool organization and water‑shedding fabrics; HitchPoint Grid attachment points, water‑resistant pockets, and lockable YKK zippers round out the system.
Use them how guides actually use gear. Load a Panga for canyon runs, storm days offshore, and river shuttles where capsizes aren’t theoretical. Shoulder a Crossroads for airport sprints, truck‑to‑trail weekends, and the Monday commute that turns into a red‑eye. Drop a Camino on the skiff, in the blind, or by the back door as the always‑ready mud, fish slime, and burrito‑wrapper catcher. Throw a Ranchero in the truck bed for tools, layers, and camp kit. Sling a Cayo when you need a boat‑to‑bank utility bag for tackle, pliers, and odds‑and‑ends. All of it pairs cleanly with Tundra and Hopper coolers, stows beside a LoadOut GoBox, and hauls Rambler and Yonder bottles without a fuss.
Our team recommends choosing by environment first, then capacity and carry style.
- If your gear cannot get wet, start with Panga for submersible, zipper‑sealed protection
- If you travel or commute, pick Crossroads for padded organization, comfortable straps, and carry‑on options
- If you’re hauling mixed, messy loads, go Camino for a stand‑up tote with rinse‑clean simplicity and dividers
- If you need a tough dump‑and‑go hauler, reach for Ranchero duffels sized to the day
- If you want fast access to tools and tackle, Cayo utility bags and slings keep essentials at hand Size up for cold‑weather layers, and consider how it nests with your Tundra, Hopper, Rambler bottles, and Crossroads packing cubes for a dialed, modular kits
