A ~ The Only way to be 100% sure that you are ordering the correct size Rucksack Pro-Tector to suit your rucksack is to pack your rucksack with pillows / cushions or the like and measure it and then compare the measurements with the sizes that I have promulgated on my site.

Rucksacks really vary in their design, some are tall and thin whilst others are short and fat, Some people then strap Extra items on the outside of their Rucksacks, So my sizes, although Generous are for general guidance.

A ~ As per illustrations below, On arrival at the airport, put your Rucksack inside the Rucksack Pro-Tector and pull up the draw-cord to leave an equal length on each side.

Thread your padlock through the brassed eyelets and secure (I prefer the long stapled padlocks for ease of use)

As tightly as possible roll up the excess material with the padlock inside keeping the two lengths of draw-cord visible

Thread the two visible lengths of draw-cord trough the handle so that the left goes to the right and the right goes to the left and secure around the handle with a bowknot.

Your Rucksack is now safe and secure inside your Rucksack Pro-Tector and you are ready to check-in

A ~ Although Rucksack Pro-Tectors are manufactured using strong waterproof material; I do not sell them as waterproof. I do sell them as water-resistant, What I mean by this is that under normal circumstances, as long as the Rucksack Pro-Tector is securely closed, things inside will stay dry, but if. you immersed it in water then it would leak ! Although the seams are taped from the inside water will eventually migrate in trough the stitching holes.

Having said that, I have used my own Rucksack Pro-Tector in its secondary function, as a water resistant liner inside my rucksack on many occasions whilst trekking in UK, Nepal and Spain (One of my treks in Spain was 1,000K alone) and everything inside has always remained bone dry.

A ~ No, I am Sorry to say that Pro-Tector is entirely web based, The main reason for this is that to sell through an outlet would mean that the prices that would have to be charged are just not viable, as outdoor shops usually buy there stock in wholesale and then double the price for retail, because I am only a small manufacturer and have my products made in Nepal and therefore have to have everything air-freighted back to UK this is not possible.

Please read the About Us page for more details on why I manufacture my products in Nepal

A ~ Yes ~ The Best way to lock your Rucksack Pro-Tector is by using a long stapled padlock which you will find at any good ironmonger or locksmiths. If you Really fill your pro-tector then another method is to use a cycle lock which you will find available from any good cycle shop.

A ~ No the Rucksack Pro-Tector does not have zips, This is a deliberate design feature as I strongly believe that zips are a weak point. However The Rucksack Pro-tector does have a row of eyelets around the top, These eyelets take a draw cord and were also specifically designed to take a padlock.

A – Yes, The Rucksack Pro-Tector come with a small colour coordinated pouch 

When your Rucksack Pro-Tector is compressed inside the pouch it will measure approximately 260mm (10 inches) in length by 300mm (12 inches) in circumference.
Please see attached photo with pen alongside for easy size comparison

A – Once your rucksack has safely reached its destination, if you then wish to use it as a water resistant liner, you simply put it inside your rucksack, pack all your kit inside, tighten the draw-cord and wrap it around the Rucksack Pro-Tector, then double it over and wrap the excess cord around again tying it in a simple slip knot before securing your Rucksack. This will now help ensure that your kit remains dry inside your rucksack if you are trekking in wet weather.

A ~ The reason that the Pro-Tector Wallet is this size is that it will comfortably hold a standard (E.U.) passport. This is a deliberate design feature.

A ~ Although Pro-Tector Travel Pouches are manufactured using strong waterproof material; I do not sell them as waterproof. i.e. the zips are not waterproof. However perspiration rarely migrates through into the inside of the pouch because it has a double layer at the rear, which also forms an additional outside pocket.

Also the Pro-Tector Travel Pouch is Designed specifically to be either worn over or under your clothing, Its flat construction means that you can comfortably sleep whilst wearing it (when you are staying in dormitory accommodation) and as it is flat it hardly shows under your clothing. OR If you prefer you can wear it above your clothing and All your travel essentials are easily to hand. The Strong webbing waist-band will take a camera pouch, this enabling you to keep your hands free.

I tend to wear my own above my clothes in the daytime as I have a digital camera hung on one side and a 35mm compact hung on the other side, then in the evening I wear it next to my skin, so all my valuables are out of site and hopefully out of any rouges mind !!
