Sevylor Quickpak Carry Bag - Black/Dark Blue

Update...... now used the bag... bag would benefit from drawstring or someway to secure the opening as things fall out!!!Bag is large enough for our paddleboard or our kayak. Ours arrived but we didn't use it for a few weeks, when as packing it I notice it had a split in the side.. contacted company and a replacement was sent straight away with no issues.Only design issue I can see that would improve this bag is to have some way to tighten the sides otherwise a great bag .

Hugely happy, big enough to fit the Colorado pro two man kayak, both inflatable seats, two paddles and foot pump that was previously bought as a kit with room to spare.Very comfortable adjustable shoulder straps making it extremely easy to carry and with the full zip opening easy to load all the gear in.

My old bag that came with my sevylor Colorado pro was getting a little tatty and it's just about big enough to fit the kayak if rolled up perfectly. As such it was starting to show its age (9 years)This bag has plenty of room to pack away the kayak a little clumsily after a long day of paddling and it looks really nice.HOWEVER the backpack straps are only secured to the thin outer layer, as a result there is now a huge rip down the entire length of the bag. I might be more understanding if it was excessively used but I have only used it twice and it's not like I was lugging it very far. It has probably spent a total of 5 mins on my back.

I have only had this for two weeks, the first week it was unopened, I unpacked it and I put my kayak in it, took it to the beach last week and lost some items because one of the seams of a side pocket failed, there was a hole about 75mm long, where the stiching had come apart.Not good.

We have a Sevylor Hudson Inflatable kayak. Fantastic Kayak. I ordered this bag as the carry bag with the Hudson has carry handles while the Quickpak has adjustable straps that enable the user to carry the kayak as a rucksack. Our first outing with the kayak was last week. We packed the Kayak and pump into the Quickpak and I found the QP carry bag so easy to use. When we finished kayaking I deflated the kayak and packed into the Quickpak. It was then that I made a mistake by not ensuring the rolled kayak was at the base of the QP bag. When I stood up with the bag on my back I heard a tearing sound. We then realised that the holding strap inside the bag had come away on one side of the bag due to holding the weight of the kayak. We are not returning as we would only get an exchange of another bag but we will re-enforce the stitching on the strap.I am very pleased with the concept of the bag and the dimensions that allow me to carry everything(plenty space)so I am pleased with the purchase.Pleased be warned that the initial effort of getting the loaded bag on your back while on your knees and then standing is a concern as you could hurt yourself. If you suffer back problems the do not try. I found the best way was to kneel down with the bag behind you. Loosen both straps fully, and place them around your shoulders. Draw the bag up onto you back and tighten the straps as you go. Make sure the straps are fully tightend and the bag is fully positioned on your back before leaning forward and then, with hands free, attempt !! to stand.Once standing, you will find mobility easy.Overall a much better option than to try and carry the bag supplied with the kayak. I would reccomend to anyone strong enough to carry the weight of the kayak. I am 53 and average build. The QP bag does enhance the whole inflatable kayak experiance. We had a great time so if you are thinking of buying one, be safe and ask for help if you believe you may struggle with the weight.

Just taken delivery of this and given it a dry run (no pun intended!) walking around the block.The good:*super large and accessible... I can fit a folded Colorado inflatable kayak, 2x adult PFDs and 2x children's PFDs in the main compartment with room to spare.*2x Velcro straps on the outside to secure paddles... We have one sevylor kayak oar, split into two and these fit into one of the velcro straps* During my short walk, the loaded backpack felt a lot comfier than the straps used on the backpack system (BPS) that is inbuilt into the Colorado.The bad:* As others have noted, the material is quite thin... I already have a small hole at the bottom where it was placed on some dry grass! If you don't fill the bag to bursting, you should mitigate any issues but at the beach I'll be sure to put it down gently on a towel or beach mat* The shoulder straps are padded but I'm not sure yet how comfy it will be over treks any longer than 15 minutes!Overall, this is fit for purpose and I know it will make transporting the kayak from the car park to the water a lot easier so for me that makes it worth the price.That said, when the time comes to buy another, I will look for something similar but with a heavier duty material (thanks to one reviewer who mentioned army surplus!)Closing thought:* If you're still using the BPS or using your hands to carry/transport your inflatable kayak, this will fit the bill
