Red Equipment, the B Corp outdoor adventure brand, has introduced its Adventure Waterproof Backpack in a new 12L size, ideally suited for kids and teenagers. The compact and durable bag is designed to keep up with everyday life and outdoor adventures, whatever the weather.

A scaled-down version of Red Equipment’s bestselling 30L waterproof backpack, the 12L edition has been carefully designed for smaller frames and lighter loads. Available in Olive Green, Obsidian Black and Storm Blue, the backpack pairs perfectly with the brand’s Kids Evo Pro Waterproof Changing Robe, and is built to handle everything from the school run to weekend adventures.

Tough enough to be thrown around in playgrounds or packed for forest school sessions, it’s equally at home on bike rides, camping trips, mountain hikes and family holidays. The compact design also makes it ideal for travel, easily fitting as hand luggage for flights and doubling as an adventure bag for days on the beach, boat trips, paddleboarding or kayaking.

The streamlined silhouette offers a comfortable, balanced carry, with soft cooling foam shoulder straps and a breathable airflow back panel that helps keep young wearers cool and comfortable throughout the day.

 

 

Keeping belongings dry is a priority for parents and kids alike, and the backpack’s waterproof construction ensures essentials stay protected when the weather turns.

Made from recycled 420D nylon with a double-sided TPU coating and fully welded seams, the bag features a simple roll-top closure with side-release buckles – rolling the top four times and clipping it securely ensures water stays out. A reinforced abrasion-resistant base allows the pack to be placed on wet grass, muddy ground, or rough surfaces without worry. Practical storage has also been incorporated throughout. A quick-access external pocket makes it easy to reach smaller essentials, while a secure internal zipped pocket keeps valuables safe.

Two stretch-mesh bottle sleeves offer convenient storage for drinks or wet gear, while adjustable elastic bungee cords on the exterior can store extra layers or kit. For added versatility, the backpack includes low-profile MOLLE webbing, providing additional attachment points for accessories and small personal items. Meanwhile, subtle reflective detailing on the logo, straps, bungees and bottle sleeves helps improve visibility in low-light conditions.

 

 

Like all Red Equipment products, the Adventure Waterproof Backpack 12L has been developed with sustainability in mind.

As a certified B Corp, the brand commits to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. The backpack uses reinforced nylon recycled from post-consumer plastic, helping to reduce waste while delivering long-lasting performance. Its hardwearing thermoplastic polyurethane coating is both durable and flexible, and unlike PVC, it is biodegradable and recyclable with a non-toxic production process.
