Tote it all, from the shops to the shore
The humble tote bag has gone through something of a revival in the last few years with single use plastic shopping bags becoming (thankfully) a thing of the past. As many of us have found though, lots of ‘bags for life’ really aren’t up for the rigours of a full summer carrying picnics, beach kit or festival gear. Red Paddle have got you covered through with their new Waterproof Tote Bag. Made from a durable and fully recycled Nylon with welded seams it will keep water out if it gets put down on a wet surface, and as it’s leak proof you can dump wet towels and clothes in after your day out and won’t end up with a damp back seat or boot. With a generous 33-litre capacity, grab handles, pockets and a magnetic clip closer, you’ll be hard pressed to find a day when it’s not in use.

Red Paddle Co boards come with a five-year warranty as standard – and if you think that sounds generous, it's because virtually no-one needs to use it. Their paddleboards are so well built that they've literally driven a 22-tonne digger over one without breaking it, and warranty rates stand at a staggeringly low 0.5%.
The same goes for the rest of their gear too – from beautifully made waterproof backpacks with super-strong welding, to hybrid changing robe/parkas that'll take you from the beach to the high arctic and everywhere in-between. This stuff isn't cobbled together overseas by the lowest bidder – it's designed and purpose-built in Red's own Devon facility, drawing on more than 15 years of experience and an uncompromising attitude to quality.
We've had a good old nose around their Totnes HQ, and what we really love about Red is the way their kit is engineered to be portable and versatile for multi-activity adventures. Sure, you can just chuck their compact inflatable boards in the back of the car and have a splash about at the beach, but they’re so packable that you can also stick them in a backpack and pony them up to remote mountain lakes, or spend a day paddling downriver and get the train home. Your imagination really is the limit.
This is seriously well-engineered gear that's built to perform and to last, and we're right on board with that.
