Deck Pod 2

I used this on my first wilderness kayak trip and it exceeded my expectations. The zippered pouch held maps, sunglasses, snacks, SOS beacon, and there was room for more. I kept my pump and water in the outside sleeves. Shout out to Olympic Outdoor Center in Port Gamble, WA, for selling quality merchandise.

I purchased the Gearlab deck pod two from Amazon as a way to organize some things while on paddling trips. Per the normal, great design and well executed with high-quality fabrics and unique fasteners. I am ever so impressed with the deck hand fastener that they have designed in our utilizing on many of their products. Great product but after using a handful of times, I decided that having stuff on my deck was not for me because I have enough room within my day hatch to accommodate all of my need to reach items if you have a very low volume kayak or needs space to how your pump and paddle float with some additional pieces of gear or kit, this is a great product. It’s easy to remove for transport. Highly recommended if you need a deck bag.

Quality product and well thought out. Currently trying different configurations to find the best fit. Purchased through Amazon as a gift and decided to keep it. Lower profile compared to other deck bags I’ve tried. A definite plus.

Great bag works awesome. Especially like the clips easy to add and take off the kayak and keeps everything together. Seems to be water resistant, but I don’t expect to be waterproof so I keep everything I want dry in a waterproof dry bag which of course one would expect for anything you take on a kayak if you want it to be dry. I really like the handle at the end to carry it. just need to watch that the little pocket in the outside, you don’t put anything inside because if you don’t it will fall out. I purchased this on Amazon so I could return it easily, but I have no plans on doing that.

I love the way it clips to the boat. So easy to attach and quickly remove. Bag is not water proof and barely water resistant. Items stored inside will get soaked so plan accordingly. Bag will hold water in the padded base making it heavier and drippy. Wanted to love it, but needs improvement.
