Is it suitable for the wet canyons hikes ?
Asked by: Omar
The Shimoda Designs Action X50 V2 Backpack (Yellow, 50L) (B&H# SHV2AX50Y) is especially sturdy and even features YKK SplashGuard zippers to inhibit the entry of water. However, it is not considered water resistant in our industry's terminology (which would require that it be able to prevent water entry even if immersed in water), so you would want to stay out of standing water and deep mud, both of those being occasional features of certain wet canyons in the western USA.
