With a name like “Takeout” you’d be forgiven for thinking this bag has everything to do with take-out food, especially during these strange times we live in. But in actuality the DAKA Takeout is Magpul’s take on one of the most crucial pieces of travel EDC: the dopp kit. And with their expertise in forming quality lightweight and durable polymer products built to last through the toughest missions, the Magpul DAKA Takeout is a bombproof EDC carry-all that will serve you well whether you use it traditionally for your toiletries or as an organizational bag within a bag to organize the smaller items in your carry.

What sets the Takeout from similar bags is the use of special reinforced polymer fabric that’s been RF welded at the seams for a permanent impenetrable water seal. The top water-resistant YKK AquaGuard zipper also helps keep the water out, so whether this bag falls into the drink or you need to keep small essentials dry from the rain this compact pouch has you covered. Its watertight properties are also useful going the other way: if your liquid toiletries burst in transit, the mess gets isolated to the interior of the Takeout and not the rest of your gear and clothing.

Unlike other waterproof bags with these properties, Magpul designed their polymer fabric to have an anti-slip texture that makes them grippy so they don’t slip out of your hands when wet nor slide across a table easily. With 3.5 liters of capacity you can fit a surprising amount of your essentials into the pouch, and the multi-function quick release buckles on the side allow you to cinch it down to size if it’s not full of gear. The buckles when closed also act as handles for easy retrieval from within a pack or your luggage once you get to where you’re going.

With its unique and masterful use of waterproof and durable polymer fabric, Magpul’s DAKA Takeout represents a step above the standard travel dopp kit and carryall. If you’re looking to add one to your everyday carry, check out the link below.

This looks very nice, but for anyone interested I suggest checking out Niteize’s take on this topic; the Run-off Waterproof Toiletrey Bag. (Sorry, site won’t let me post a link.)
