For starters, it has an an insulated and tarp-lined lower compartment that does double duty as a cooler during the trip and wet clothing storage after. Then there’s the top loading compartment with side zip for easy access, a large internal slip pocket, side hydration pockets, a portable, tarp-lined changing mat and a plush-lined watch pocket, key clip and bottle opener. It’s built to protect your gear while keeping you near the shore.
