Hiko TPU inflatable bag 15L
Code: 33652Product detailed description
Hiko TPU Inflatable Bag 15L: Ultra-lightweight bag with a compression valve
Integrated valve: Compression and buoyancy
This model differs significantly from standard boat bags in its design. The bag features a classic top-loading design, but its bottom section is equipped with with a special valve. It serves two purposes. You can either use it to suck out and expel excess air from a filled bag (thus functioning as a vacuum sealer to reduce volume), or you can use it to inflate an empty bag with your mouth and turn it into an air pillow.
Durable ripstop fabric with a TPU coating that withstands freezing temperatures
For this bag, the Czech manufacturer Hiko used the most advanced materials to achieve the lightest possible weight while maintaining high durability:
- Ripstop fabric with TPU: The base is made of an extremely lightweight fabric reinforced with a distinctive ripstop weave (which effectively prevents tears from spreading). The fabric also features a high-quality TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) coating.
- Welded joints: Instead of traditional stitching, all seams are high-frequency welded. This results in an exceptionally compact, sturdy, and 100% waterproof unit.
- Cold tolerance: Unlike traditional heavy-duty PVC, the TPU coating retains its excellent flexibility and pliability even at very low temperatures, which you'll appreciate when paddling in the winter.
What is this bag ideal for?
With a capacity of 15 liters and a ventilation system, this bag is indispensable for technical paddling and packing in tight spaces:
- Seakayaking and hiking: The perfect bag for storing items in the narrow storage compartments of sea kayaks. Pack your gear, deflate the bag, and it will conform to the shape of the deck.
- Compressing sleeping bags and clothing: Reduce the volume of your soft gear to the absolute minimum. Great for bikepacking and challenging hiking, too.
- Emergency buoyancy bag: A half-empty inflatable bag placed in the bow of your boat will displace water if the boat capsizes and prevent it from sinking.

Expert Tip – How to Get the Most Out of Your Valve: The ability to manipulate the air inside a vacuum is brilliant—if you know how to do it. For vacuum compression Place bulky clothing or a sleeping bag into the bag, roll the top edge at least three times as usual, and fasten it. Then open the bottom valve, compress the bag using its own weight (e.g., by kneeling on it), squeeze out all the air, and quickly screw the valve shut. You’ll end up with a firm, compact cube that takes up almost no space in the boat. On the other hand, for generating additional lift (known as a "sprajc") Place the packed bag in an empty space in the boat, open the valve, inflate the bag until it completely fills the storage space, and close the valve. The bag will be securely held in place in the boat and will help keep it afloat.
