It's a situation we've all faced - you're out running when suddenly you come to a lake. Why would you keep running when there's the possibility of a nice long swim? One problem - what to do with your clothes and kit. Answer? A waterproof rucksack. Now, we're not advocates of spending a load of money on unnecessary stuff, but some kit is worth getting excited about. Our rucksacks haven't even been delivered yet, but we're so amazed to have found products that fit our little niche that we thought we'd share them with you.
Not surprisingly, there isn't a huge amount of choice in the waterproof swimming rucksack market - but there are a few models available. Will has gone for the OverBoard waterproof backpack. He likes his rucksacks like he likes his men - big, strong and black. At 60 litres he should be able to swim with all his camping equipment on his back, as well as his running kit, wife and kids.
