Panga 28L Backpack
Forget holding your pack over your head as you wade through that deep spot to get to the sandbar that's perfect for casting—the Yeti Panga 28L Backpack has your back while you take on the waves. This pack features ThickSkin material that uses a TPU coating to keep splashing water from seeping through and soaking your gear. A HydroLok zipper seals out moisture in case you drop the pack or happen to get caught in a shower, so you don't have to worry about water coming through there as long as you secure the U-Dock end of the zipper. The outside of the pack has multiple QuickGrab loops so you can attach additional gear securely, although it should be noted that gear attached to the outside of the pack will not enjoy the waterproof protection that gear stored inside the pack has.

Its nice !
It's awesome. Haven't tested it out yet but its been with me to the beach so far. I had the smaller Sidekick first and decided I wanted this backpack as well. I also got the rambler sling to attach to it. Looks nice and feels heavy duty

Only backpack you’ll ever need
This bag is exactly what I was looking for, completely water proof and rugged. It is amazing knowing I can throw any equipment inside and know it’ll be safe and dry for whatever I use it for. If I could give this a 10 star review I would. My next purchase will be the Panga 75L Duffle, in Tan for all my work equipment and hurricane preparation. Yeti you absolutely killed it with this product.

Versatile and tough
The only backpack I need as a guide. This bag is versatile on and off the boat. I am able to carry gear for the day and keep things dry and secure no matter the situation. Offshore or on the flats, this bag does what I need and expect it to do.

Best pack for keeping your items dry
Great backpack that keeps everything inside dry even in extreme weather. I am extremely happy with this backpack. Great for coaching on the sideline during downpours and keeps camera equipment dry when taking pictures outdoors.

Great backpack - Wish the straps had more cushion
Very spacious and sturdy backpack. I wish the straps had more cushion on them to support the weight and for added comfort.

This is a good looking backpack!
The 28 liter Panga is a great looking backpack that is constructed with premium materials. The price may seem high for a backpack until you realize that you should get at least 10 years of use out of it before it starts to show any wear.
