Frequently Asked Questions

What size backpack should I choose?

It depends on what you're carrying. For school or the commute, 17L to 25L is plenty; the Eco Packable is part of our Rip Curl Planet line. For uni or the gym, step up to 30L to 35L. Most surf trips call for 40L and above.

What is a wet/dry bag, and when do I need one?

A wet/dry bag separates damp gear from the rest of your kit, so a sandy wetsuit doesn't drench your towel or laptop. The Surf Series buckets roll closed and stand on their own. For traveling with your board, our men's surfboard covers and hardware collection has options to protect your setup.

What is the difference between a backpack and a duffle bag?

A backpack sits upright on its back panel and distributes weight on your shoulders, making it a great choice for daily wear and long carries. A duffle is a soft, horizontal bag with a spacious main compartment, a handle, and a shoulder strap for convenience. Browse Rip Curl’s luggage and travel bags.
