http://www.westerncanoekayak.com/product_spec.php?item_description_id=5444 i bought this one earlier this year. cheap nylon paddle bag for $30 CAD (tax included). my thoughts? it sucks... crappy material, no padding (for those who travel to race) zero protection, cheap shoulder strap and worse of all the design layout positioned the velcro in a way that it sticks to everything. the burnwater bag is average. again not a bad price for a paddle bag. it has good design, nice shoulder straps, and a decent amount of zipper compartments. however it is made out of PVC polyurethane and is not well padded so don't expect too much for protection. i highly recommend getting a good bag for the long run. although expensive, the typhoon 8 bags are really well designed with lots of zipper compartments and a comfy shoulder strap. best of all it's nicely padded and made of heavy duty nylon and can take a beating. |
