Product Insights
The Rains Hilo Large Waterproof Weekend Bag offers a permanently waterproof, lightweight (0.9 kg) duffel with a matte finish that hides scuffs, but at 60 cm it exceeds most airline carry-on limits and has a single compartment without pockets, requiring packing cubes for organization.
- Waterproofing
Buyers trust permanently waterproof shell for canoe camping and rainy commutes.
Why this is supported
Rains' Hilo bag uses a polyurethane-coated polyester fabric
that originated in their rain jackets and now defines the Hilo bag's permanently waterproof, no-maintenance shell
Rains' design approach and material innovation — signature_pu_coated_fabric. A buyer reports using it for a canoe/camping trip:
Other reviews confirm confidence in rainy commutes and as a carry-on.
- Scuff resistance
The matte finish hides minor scuffs better than glossier coatings.

- Interior layout
Single compartment without pockets divides buyers; many use packing cubes, others miss organization.

The bag's interior is intentionally minimalist:
The Hilo's single undivided main compartment aligns with Rains' minimalist ethos of providing a clean slate, trusting the user to organize with pouches or packing cubes

Great bag, very practical and the size is perfect for a short getaway.
Waterproof weekend bag
This was a birthday gift purchased for my husband. He loved the colour and quality of the bag. He typically uses a knapsack for camping but is excited about this waterproof over night bag that he plans to use this month for a canoe/ camping trip. The overnight bag looks stylish and will also work well as a carry on for flights. Thank you Simon’s!
