Overview
Built for organized access on the water, this bow-mounted storage bag gives you a practical way to separate wet items from dry gear while keeping essentials close at hand. It attaches to the front grab loops with four quick-attach buckles and uses a one-hand-operable zipper for fast entry when conditions call for it. The main compartment is suited to wet storage and includes a mesh bottom for drainage, while the removable dry-bag liner lets you pull out your dry gear and use it in your lap instead of digging through the bow bag. Available in 200d Black Oxford or 210d Nylon, it is a straightforward option for paddlers who want flexible storage without unnecessary bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires compatible grab loops on the front of an Alpacka Raft for attachment, so it is not a universal bow bag solution.
- The main compartment is designed for wet storage and has a mesh bottom for drainage, so it is not intended to keep those items dry.
- Dry gear needs to be placed in the separate liner, a Lap Bag, or another small dry bag; the bag itself does not provide sealed dry storage in the main compartment.
- At 24.5L for the bag and 20L for the liner, it offers useful capacity, but the layout is best suited to organized small items rather than bulky gear.
