RIVERSMITH CONVOY HAULER
The Convoy Gear Hauler is the ultimate waterproof gear tote for boats, rafts, and beyond.
Unlike traditional dry bags, the Convoy Hauler combines roll-top waterproof security with quick side-panel zip access. You don’t have to unroll the top every time—just grab what you need through the zipper. When the roll-top is open, it functions as an open gear tote. When sealed, it becomes a fully waterproof, travel-ready dry bag. Available in two sizes, each one is purpose-built for water-based adventures and heavy travel.

Shared Features
The Convoy Hauler stands out with a feature set built for real use. It offers a 100% waterproof recessed roll-top closure that seals out the elements when needed, while a waterproof side-panel zipper allows quick access to your gear without undoing the entire top—perfect for fast changes on the boat or when weather rolls in. Unlike rigid boat boxes or casual totes, it adapts to your needs. It can be carried over the shoulder with a removable strap or grabbed from the sides and top with integrated handles. Molle webbing provides modular options for attaching extra gear or securing the bag during transport. Inside, four power mesh pockets keep essentials organized and visible, while the abrasion-resistant custom-molded bottom withstands repeated loading and dragging on docks, gravel, or boat decks. Its clean silhouette avoids snagging in tight spaces, making it ideal for both packing and accessing gear under pressure.

Key Features and Functional Design
Traditional waterproof zippers can be stiff and frustrating, especially around corners. They’re often difficult to open and close quickly, slowing you down when accessing gear matters most. The Convoy Hauler solves this with a smarter hybrid design. The roll-top provides full waterproof protection during river crossings, storms, or extended wet travel. When the roll-top is not engaged, the bag becomes a convenient open tote—ideal for dry days or quick deck access. Need to keep it sealed? The waterproof side zipper lets you reach essentials without disturbing your setup. The molded base ensures durability when sliding over abrasive surfaces, and the internal mesh pockets prevent the ‘black hole’ effect common in unstructured dry bags. The Convoy Hauler isn't just waterproof—it’s engineered to work better.
