Question 1

is this price for one thing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It's made of reinforced human skin.

Question 2

Anyone use the Panga 28 backpack in heavy rain? I know it says it's waterproof, but some user confirmation would help.

Accepted Answer

Hello John, Thank you for the question. I love to brag about this bag. Here's why: I kayak 20-50 miles a week. I live in the Panhandle of Florida, 10 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, numerous bays, bayous, rivers, wetlands, and creeks. Every time I go out, I carry my Yeti Panga 28. Often times, I end up in challenging conditions, most of the time on purpose; sometimes due to nature's unpredictability. I carry a Nikon D850 high resolution camera with me, usually outfitted with a 400mm or 600mm long lens, along with flares, flare gun, flash lights, backup phone, batteries, dive knifes, and other tools for unpredictable amphibious operations - all secured in the Yeti. While I am kayaking, or when I come ashore, I take photos of nature. Sunrises, sunsets, osprey, eagles, dolphins, gators, sea turtles, snakes, etc.. I count on the Yeti to keep my professional camera and other gear bone dry. It has never let me down. When in the Gulf or some of the bays on a rough day, I often times have waves washing into my kayak, over the backpack. Never a drop of water inside the Yeti. But here's the real testimony: Last year, I launched around sunrise, when the water was almost glassy calm. By noon, I found myself in a precarious situation. My sit-inside-of kayak, became swamped as the ocean spun-up within a couple hours, due to tropical storm bands passing over the area. I saw the bad weather coming, and secured my camera inside the Yeti. Eventually, as I paddled as if my life were at stake, my kayak sunk. Nose up. Over two miles from shore, in extremely rough seas. Most people would have drowned in the minutes that followed. Having been raised on the water, and my USMC advanced water safety survival training as well, saved my life that day. However those skills could not have saved my camera. Only the Yeti could have kept the camera dry in those conditions, with waves crashing over my head, as I swam over 2 miles to shore. Once I was in a dry space, I dropped to my knees and unzipped the Yeti, expecting the worst. There is no way it could have kept the camera dry in those conditions, I thought to myself. Yet....Yet...Yeti it did. Not a drop of water in the pack.

In all earnest, it is not meant to be used as a long distance multi-day mountain back pack. But for short treks, or for any water-related sports/activities - you absolutely cannot beat it. Also, be very sure that the zipper is fully cinched down with a snug tug. You'll actually feel it seal into place. I have seen some reviews where it was clear the user did not have the bag fully zipped. And also, if you are not 100% sure, then one of the best ways to test it, is to put a lot of tissue or paper towels in it, and then submerge it in a bucket or a tub for a few minutes, and then check the tissue paper. best...

Question 3

Is the panga 28 backpack made durable and strong for outdoorsman, hickers, survivalist? Like cordura or nylon

Accepted Answer

Yes the panga backpack is tough, strong and waterproof. The Panga can handle any outdoor trip or adventure you might have. I use mine from back packing to carrying all my work stuff like my IPad Pro  and Laptop on the job site.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes it should fit fine!
