Keep your family’s essentials clean and dry during rainy days out this summer holidays with Helen Skelton’s waterproof backpack which has ‘loads of room’ inside
The summer holidays are in full flow which means there’s no shortage of days out with the kids to plan for. But with the UK weather proving to be a little unpredictable, it’s always a good idea to make sure you’re fully prepared for everything from sunshine to downpours.
One thing that’s crucial to staying ready for anything is a spacious bag, and Helen Skelton has found one that’s roomy, easy to carry and – most importantly – waterproof. She shared a snap of the Roll-Top Rucksack that she took to the beach with her family, and it’s ideal for filling with all the essentials you need to make your day out run smoothly.

Helen’s Roll-Top Rucksack hails from Delta Roam for £69 and it’s a great choice if you’re planning on heading out with the family. It has a large interior pocket that’s big enough for spare jackets, snacks, toys, beach towels and everything else you might need.
There’s also seven individual pockets for things you need to keep right at hand, like a water bottle, and its roll-top design can be unrolled for extra storage space. The inside is big enough for a weekend’s worth of clothes or the brand’s Beaumont dry robe, and it even has an external laptop compartment that’s fully rainproof.
The Roll-Top Rucksack is made from durable and waterproof PU, with aqua-guard zippers that top leaks. Although it’s a brilliantly practical bag for big days out, it’s also stylish enough to use as a work bag on your commute, or to take off-road for hikes and days in the countryside.
It comes in three colours with signature red details, and although the 20 litre capacity bag is priced at £69, you can get a larger one with a 35 litre capacity for £75, if you need a little more space. The smaller one fits a 14” laptop, whilst the larger bag can fit a 15” one.
Delta Roam shoppers have also hailed the Roll-Top Rucksack. It currently only has two reviews, one of which says: “Love this. Very stylish – great colour and great detailing and loads of room. Perfect.”
The other wrote: “The bag is great . Love it for going to the gym.”
You can get a similar style with The Roll Top 15L Bag from Stubble & Co for £110, which comes in 11 colours, some of which are on sale down to £77. Decathlon also has a bargain version, with the 29L Backpack Rolltop with Laptop Pocket which is now £39.99 down from £44.99. Or, for something more compact, the 1L Waterproof Gear Case is £40 and is essential for keeping all your bits and bobs dry and secure before you head out on the water.
