The OpenWater Backpack buoy is a unique combination of an inflatable swim buoy and a waterproof backpack. It features detachable shoulder straps that allow it to be comfortably worn as a backpack. Made from nylon-coated material, it offers enhanced resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage. All seams are additionally reinforced with durable tape for improved strength and longevity.
Its dry storage compartment provides enough space for clothing, shoes, a large towel and other personal belongings.
The OpenWater Backpack was designed to make transporting your gear easier and more convenient. Special attachment points allow you to quickly connect the comfortable shoulder straps, making it easy to carry the buoy to the lake, beach or training location. It is especially recommended for swimrun and triathlon athletes, as well as anyone who enjoys spending active time around water.
The buoyancy of the OpenWater Backpack is so high that it can comfortably support even two people in the water. Even when loaded with items stored inside the dry compartment, it still provides essential support and flotation when needed.
Thanks to its durable construction, it also works perfectly as a waterproof dry bag for kayaking trips, pedal boating or sailing adventures.
If you enjoy spending time around water, this buoy is made for you!
Its high buoyancy provides reliable support while swimming in lakes, rivers and the sea. In the event of fatigue, cramp or accidental water inhalation, simply hold onto the buoy to rest and recover safely.
While swimming, the buoy floats behind you at calf level, without restricting your movements or affecting your swimming technique.
Worried about leaving your valuables unattended on the shore while swimming?
Not anymore! The OpenWater Backpack features a waterproof storage compartment large enough to safely hold your phone, wallet, keys, towel, shoes and clothing. The compartment extends throughout the entire interior of the buoy, providing plenty of space for everything you need to keep dry and secure.
From now on, you never have to worry about what to do with your belongings when going for a swim.
