Navy Bags with Modern Waterproof Protection
Traditional navy and sailor bags have always been shaped by function: durable construction, efficient storage, easy carrying and dependable performance in demanding environments. Modern waterproof navy bags take the same practical approach and combine it with technical materials and advanced protection from water.
Zulupack® offers navy bags and backpacks ranging from 3 to 65 litres, from a compact bag for personal essentials to a waterproof backpack, a large-capacity sailor bag and a spacious travel bag.
The models in this category are part of the Marine Nationale® × Zulupack® collection, combining modern Zulupack® technical design with the distinctive identity of the French Navy.
Which Navy Bag Is Right for You?
When choosing the right model, consider how much gear you need to carry, which carrying style suits you best and what level of water protection your activities require.
Orion 3L – for Your Personal Essentials
If you need to carry a phone, wallet, keys, documents or other small valuables, the Orion 3L offers a compact solution. Despite its small size, it features IP67 protection, providing a high level of protection from water when properly closed.
Perseus 20L – When You Prefer a Navy Backpack
The Perseus 20L is designed for those who prefer the comfort and freedom of a backpack. This IP67 waterproof backpack offers 20 litres of space for everyday essentials or day gear while leaving both hands free.
Verseau 45L – a Modern Sailor Bag for More Gear
The Verseau 45L comes closest to the concept of a traditional sailor or sea bag, reinterpreted as modern technical luggage. Its 45-litre capacity provides plenty of room for clothing and equipment, while its IP67 rating provides protection against temporary immersion when the bag is properly closed.
Eridan 65L – a Spacious Navy Travel Bag
If maximum capacity is the priority, the Eridan 65L is the largest model in the category. This spacious travel bag provides ample room for longer journeys and larger loads, while its IP66 rating offers complete protection from dust and protection against powerful water jets.
3, 20, 45 or 65 Litres – Which Size Do You Need?
Four different capacities make it easier to choose a bag that matches the amount of gear you actually carry. Orion 3L is designed for personal valuables, Perseus 20L is a practical choice for day gear, Verseau 45L provides considerably more room for clothing and equipment, while Eridan 65L offers the greatest capacity for longer journeys and larger loads.
Capacity isn't the only consideration. Carrying style matters too. If keeping both hands free is important, a backpack may be the better choice. For larger amounts of clothing or equipment, a high-capacity sailor or travel bag can provide the extra space you need.
What Should You Know About Waterproof Navy Bags?
Choosing a modern navy bag isn't only about capacity. The level of water protection, construction, carrying options and intended use can all make a difference. The following points will help you compare the Marine Nationale® × Zulupack® models and choose the right bag for your needs.
What Is the Difference Between IP67 and IP66?
IP67 protection means complete protection from dust and, when the product is properly closed, protection against temporary immersion in water at a depth of up to 1 metre for a maximum of 30 minutes.
IP66 protection also provides complete protection from dust and protection against powerful water jets, but products with this rating are not designed for immersion. When choosing a model, consider the conditions in which you expect to use your bag.
Why Is Welded Construction an Advantage?
With welded construction, the main panels of waterproof material are joined without conventional stitching passing through them. This avoids the rows of tiny needle holes created by traditional sewn construction and plays an important role in achieving a high level of water protection.
What Is the Difference Between a Navy Backpack and a Sailor Bag?
The main difference is their shape and carrying style. A navy backpack can be more comfortable when you need to carry your gear for longer periods or want to keep both hands free. Larger sailor and travel bags, on the other hand, provide more room for clothing and bulkier equipment.
Are Navy Bags Only for Maritime Use?
No. Although their character is rooted in the maritime and naval world, these models are also practical for travel, outdoor activities, watersports and everyday use. Their protection from water can be particularly useful whenever your gear may be exposed to rain, splashes or wet environments.
What Is a Traditional Sailor or Sea Bag?
A traditional sailor or sea bag was a simple, durable and space-efficient bag used by sailors to carry clothing and personal equipment. Modern sailor bags reinterpret this functional concept with technical materials, more versatile carrying options and advanced protection from water.
Which Navy Bag Should I Choose?
If you only need to protect smaller personal items, Orion 3L is the most compact choice. If you prefer a backpack, Perseus 20L provides comfortable hands-free carrying. For larger amounts of clothing and equipment, Verseau 45L offers considerably more space, while Eridan 65L provides the greatest capacity for longer journeys and larger loads.
