The YETI Panga 28L Waterproof Backpack is designed for those who spend serious time on or around the water and need maximum protection for their equipment.
Far more than a simple rain-resistant backpack, the Panga 28L features a fully waterproof and submersible construction. It provides reliable protection for spare clothing, electronics, documents, fishing licences and other sensitive equipment against rain, splashes and even temporary immersion.
28-LITRE CAPACITY
With a 28-litre capacity, the Panga provides plenty of room for the equipment required for a full day outdoors.
Its volume can accommodate spare clothing, camera equipment, fishing accessories, documents and personal belongings while maintaining the mobility and convenience of a backpack.
100% WATERPROOF AND SUBMERSIBLE
The Panga 28L is designed to prevent water from entering when properly sealed.
Its construction has been tested to the IPX7 waterproof standard, meaning the contents are protected during immersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes.
This provides a major advantage for boat fishing, kayaking, float tubing and other activities around water.
HYDROLOK ZIPPER
The HydroLok Zipper is a key component of the Panga's waterproof system.
For a complete seal, the zipper must be fully engaged into the U-Dock system.
Once properly closed, the main compartment creates a reliable barrier against water.
THICKSKIN SHELL
The ThickSkin Shell is designed to resist punctures and demanding outdoor conditions.
Its rugged construction allows the Panga to withstand intensive use beside the water, aboard a boat or while travelling.
EVA MOULDED BOTTOM
An EVA moulded bottom reinforces the lower section of the backpack.
It provides additional durability when the bag is regularly placed on boat decks, riverbanks, rocks and other demanding surfaces.
ERGONOMIC DRYHAUL STRAPS
DryHaul shoulder straps are designed to provide comfortable carrying even when the backpack is loaded.
A chest strap and removable waist belt provide additional stability while moving and help distribute the load more effectively.
QUICKGRAB LASH POINTS
Reinforced QuickGrab Lash Points allow additional equipment to be attached directly to the outside of the backpack.
They increase the versatility of the Panga and make it easier to adapt the bag to different activities.
HITCHPOINT GRID
The HitchPoint Grid allows compatible YETI accessories to be attached directly to the outside of the backpack.
The Panga 28L can be paired with the YETI SideKick Dry Gear Case and Rambler Bottle Slings.
This modular system keeps important accessories or a water bottle within easy reach without opening the main compartment.
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
YETI combines several heavy-duty components to provide excellent durability:
Puncture-resistant ThickSkin Shell
EVA moulded bottom
HydroLok Zipper
MetalLock Hardware
Reinforced QuickGrab Lash Points
Together, these features create a rugged backpack designed for demanding environments.
IDEAL FOR FISHING
The Panga 28L is particularly useful for anglers who need reliable protection for equipment that cannot get wet.
It can be used to carry:
Spare clothing
Phones and electronics
Camera equipment
Fishing licences and documents
Fishing boxes and accessories
Personal belongings
For boat fishing, kayaking, float tubing or long days on the river, its waterproof construction provides excellent protection for sensitive equipment.
EASY TO CLEAN
The Panga can be cleaned using water and mild dish soap.
After use, particularly around salt water, rinse it with fresh water and allow the interior to dry thoroughly.
The HydroLok Zipper should also be maintained with the appropriate zipper lubricant to keep it operating smoothly.
NOT A COOLER
The Panga 28L is a waterproof backpack, not an insulated cooler.
It has no insulating properties and is therefore not designed to keep food or drinks cold.
