Helen Skelton's Waterproof Backpack Ideal for Summer Family Outings
Helen Skelton's Waterproof Backpack for Summer Family Days

As summer holidays peak, families across the UK are preparing for unpredictable weather with a waterproof backpack that has caught the attention of Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton. The Delta Roam Roll-Top Rucksack, shared on her social media, is available for as low as £69, according to the Mirror.

Features and Design

The rucksack includes a large interior pocket suitable for coats, toys, and beach towels, plus seven smaller pockets for water bottles and snacks, and a dedicated laptop pouch ideal for a child's tablet. It is made from durable, waterproof PU material with aqua-guard zippers to prevent leaks. Available in green, black, and blue, each with a signature red detail.

Shopper Feedback

Shoppers have rated the Roll-Top Rucksack 4.8 stars. One happy customer wrote: "I use as my baby bag and I love that it wipes clean. It’s spacious enough for mine and baby things as an overnight bag. It’s comfortable on the back as it’s padded." Another added: "Love the bag and very practical too." A third said: "A very well-made rucksack which is exactly as described in the D-Robe advertising. Very good value." However, one noted: "Bigger than expected so not used as much but it's very stylish and practical."

Alternatives and Considerations

Or the Amazon Basics Travel Laptop Backpack at £27.18 offers space for a 17-inch laptop and multiple pockets. Note that the Delta Roam backpack currently has a 20L capacity, which may be insufficient for some larger items.
