Thank you so much for your continued support — we really appreciate you being a regular customer. We’re delighted to hear you’re happy with the products, as always, but we’re very sorry to hear about your experience with the courier.

Main thing is it's a good product. The ordering and delivery were as expected and were clearly communicated.
The product has stood up well to a week's bike packing and regular commuting.

Incorrect marketing claims
The product I purchased (7ltr SLR bag) was actually less than 2ltr capacity when closed in accordance with the provided instructions. Volume tested with water and proved to be less than 2 litres. Customer services gave no feedback regarding the false description and the product is still on the website claiming the wrong capacity. I paid the extra for the 14ltr bag and found it to be 4 times the size of the 7ltr

Thank you for your review and for taking the time to test and explain the issue in such detail. We sincerely apologise for the incorrect product description and for the frustration this has caused.
After investigating your feedback, we have remeasured the bag and confirmed that the capacity was inaccurately listed as 7 litres. You were right to raise this, and we take full responsibility for the error. The product listing has now been updated on our website to reflect the correct capacity of 4 Litres.
Your feedback has helped us identify and correct this mistake, and we genuinely appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
Once again, our sincere apologies for the misleading information and the inconvenience caused.
Solid, spacious, and comfortable to carry
This is one solid bag that will probably still be used two generations hence! Lots of room and the inner pockets are great for storing those smaller items you want easy access to. This has become my go-to bag for long weekends and on-board luggage as it holds all I need, fits both under the seat or overhead luggage bin, and keeps the contents dry and protected. Only negative is that in backpack configuration I find the straps are a little long even when fully tightened and I am a bit over 5’7” so a shorter person might find this uncomfortable.

Fantastic waterproof bag
Bag was great, keeps all of my gear and laptop dry on my morning commute in the winter. Arrived quickly, ordered at 1430 and was dispatched the same day.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad your order arrived within the stated delivery timeframe, though we appreciate it can be frustrating when it arrives at the later end of the window. Unfortunately, recent severe weather conditions in Scotland, including snow and storms, did impact some deliveries despite our courier’s best efforts. We really appreciate your patience and hope you’re happy with the product itself. Thank you for choosing OverBoard.

100% waterproof and worth the money!
I've used OverBoard a few times over the years and have brought another one of their waterproof rucksacks, it's the only make I've found that is 100% waterproof, even over time! They may seem expensive to you but it is well worth the money 👍🏻

Tried and tested original backpack
I am a long term user and have just made a repurchase of the yellow original 20 litre backpack. My previous one was used a lot over many years as a bike commuting bag in all weathers. Also handy for camping and kayaking. It has never let me down and is really comfortable to wear and carries a good load of gear and protects it. The old one just became a bit scruffy over time and slightly frayed at the opening but has been regifted as still works and nothing broke. I have a 30 litre similar bag from another company but it’s a too big for my main use.

It’s especially great to know it’s been comfortable, durable, and protective of your gear — even earning a second life! We really appreciate your continued support and hope your new backpack serves you just as well.
Top-notch customer service
Top-notch customer service. We received our bag, and it has a slight mark on it. We were offered a discount on the product or a replacement. We chose a replacement, and it was all sorted super quickly. Couldn't have asked for a more pleasant interaction and would definitely order again, knowing the customer service is exceptional.

Built well and good value
Prompt shipping 3/3 of my orders, well-boxed and packaged.
I have two classic 17L waterproof panniers and a classic 35L waterproof backpack. I am very happy with their products' build quality and value for money. I expect they are very waterproof although I've only experienced medium rain for relatively short durations.
