The reviewer warns that the Explorer's watertight zipper can admit water if the pull is not fully closed and locked. A molded EVA back panel with air channels made the loaded Explorer comfortable for the reviewer during carrying and car transfers. The Explorer's S-curved straps use medium-density foam and neoprene backing, and the reviewer found them comfortable across the shoulders and clavicle.
Its rigid, boxy construction and flat bottom let the Explorer stand independently, which the reviewer says makes contents easier to access. Its internal phone pocket keeps the device visible and touch-accessible through a clear panel while protecting it from external moisture.
Reported strengths
- The reviewer describes the Explorer as a fully submersible waterproof bag intended for kayaks, boats, paddle boards, and other water-centered activities.
- The reviewer says the Explorer's woven-fabric exterior avoids a sticky rubber feel and added durability during repeated rough handling.
- A molded EVA back panel with air channels made the loaded Explorer comfortable for the reviewer during carrying and car transfers.
Reported trade-offs
- Inside, the Explorer provides limited organization, consisting of a laptop sleeve and two mesh dividers rather than extensive internal compartments.
- The reviewer warns that the Explorer's watertight zipper can admit water if the pull is not fully closed and locked.
- The reviewer found the phone pocket inconvenient because reaching it requires digging through everything stored inside the bag.
