Great product

Great design and quality! I use it on a daily basis now.

Bag nice - strap insubstantial - should be twice the width

Hi Hywel,

Thank you for your feedback!

Would you be able to elaborate on why you think the strap is insubstantial? We are always looking for ways to improve our products and would love to hear more.

If you are concerned about the weight threshold, you need not worry. Our straps are a high quality, strong webbing which is designed for supporting weight. They points at which they attach to the bag have also been tested to support weight. However if you ever have a fault in any of these areas, we are happy to repair the bag, free of charge.

If you would like to send any further feedback to hi@wawwa.co, we would love to hear more.

Many thanks,
WAWWA

Water Resistant

Water-resistant means that the material or product can resist the penetration of water to some degree, but not entirely. It can withstand light rain or water splashes for a short time, but prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain can seep through the material.

Reproofable

This product can be reproofed using a suitable spray in order to make the product water resistant again and ensure it's longevity. We reccomend doing this every few months or after any particularly heavy downpours.

FAQs

Waxed cotton is the original performance fabric and involves treating cotton with a wax coating for water repellency. Waxes and oils are naturally occurring substances found in leaves, bean/seed coverings, animal furs and feathers. It is nature's protection against the elements.
Waxed garments can be reproofed regularly, making them exceptionally sustainable compared to synthetic fabrics that often end up in landfills. Unlike PFC chemistry, which provides hydrophobic effects synthetically, waxes offer a natural barrier, reducing environmental impact.
The wax application processes are low-impact, minimizing environmental harm compared to conventional manufacturing methods. The waxes are fully biodegradable and PFC-free, underlining our commitment to eco-friendly practices.

Water-resistant and waterproof are terms used to describe how well a material or product can resist water. The main difference between the two is the level of protection they offer against water.

Water-resistant means that the material or product can resist the penetration of water to some degree, but not entirely. It can withstand light rain or water splashes for a short time, but prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain can seep through the material and damage the contents of the item.

Waterproof, on the other hand, means that the material or product is entirely impervious to water and will not allow any water to penetrate. It is designed to withstand heavy rain, submersion in water, or other harsh weather conditions without allowing any water to seep through.
