Frequently Asked Questions
What are Kakadu trap bags designed for?
Trap bags are heavy-duty canvas bags built for tough use on the road, at work, or while travelling. They’re designed with durability in mind, the signature webbing offers extra strength with spacious compartments and strong seams so they can handle heavy gear without tearing or wearing out too soon.
Are trap bags waterproof?
The Trap bags offer basic water-repellency, keeping your gear dry in light rain, while canvas bags are resistant but not fully waterproof. With basic care, they’ll protect your essentials whether you’re camping, on site, or moving through rough weather.
Do trap bags come in different sizes?
Yes, our trap bags are available in various sizes to suit day use, weekend trips, or longer hauls. Each size is designed to give you enough space without unnecessary bulk, making them practical for both everyday carry and serious travel.
How do I care for a trap bag?
Cleaning is simple — brush dirt off, wipe with a damp sponge, and air dry away from heat. For oilskin versions, reproof with wax when water stops beading to keep the bag performing for years.
Are trap bags suitable for air travel?
Yes, trap bags are tough enough for baggage handling and compact enough for overhead storage. They’re built to endure the rough treatment of airports without compromising on durability or style.
Are trap bags Aussie-made?
Some trap bags are manufactured in Australia, while others are made offshore to Kakadu’s rugged standards. Regardless of origin, every trap bag carries the grit and toughness that’s become our hallmark.
Do they have internal compartments?
Yes, trap bags are designed with functional compartments to keep your gear separated and organised. No unnecessary frills — just rugged layouts that work where it matters.
Can trap bags be returned or exchanged?
Absolutely — all Whillas and Gunn products, including trap bags, are covered by our fair and simple returns policy. If the size or style isn’t right, you can swap it without the hassle.
