Which bag is better for winter camping?

The Jackery Extreme Guard. Its USB-C heating is designed to keep the power station working below freezing, which the EcoFlow bag does nothing for. If you never camp in the cold, that advantage disappears.

Will the Jackery bag fit an EcoFlow RIVER station?

No. It is cut for the Explorer 1000 v2 and 2000 v2, which are much larger than RIVER units. The EcoFlow bag is the one sized for RIVER stations.

Which one protects better against rain and dust?

The EcoFlow bag carries an IP54 rating, which is a defined dust and splash standard. The Jackery bag claims water-resistant fabric and zippers but publishes no IP rating, so the EcoFlow figure is the more verifiable one.

Is the EcoFlow bag worth stepping up to over a plain backpack?

Only if you want a fitted, padded carry for a RIVER station with an IP54 shell and a shoulder strap. A generic backpack is cheaper but gives no dust or splash protection and no structured fit.

Which is easier to carry on a hike?

The EcoFlow bag, at 1.2 lbs with a shoulder strap. The Jackery bag is built around a large station and a handle, so it is bulkier and hand-carried.

Does the Jackery bag's heating drain the power station?

It runs off USB-C, so it draws power from a source you connect. Plan on a separate small power bank or accept some draw from the station itself in cold weather.

Jackery Extreme Guard Carrying Bag (L) vs EcoFlow River Series Bag

Buy the Jackery Extreme Guard if you own an Explorer 1000 v2 or 2000 v2 and camp or work in freezing weather; its USB-C heating is the one feature the EcoFlow bag cannot match. The EcoFlow River Series Bag is lighter, rated IP54, and carries over the shoulder, but it only fits RIVER stations and has a 3-month warranty. On build, the Jackery uses polyester with water-resistant zippers, while the EcoFlow uses tougher 600D PU Oxford; neither is a hard case, so both protect against splashes and dust rather than drops.

Choose the Jackery Extreme Guard Carrying Bag if you have an Explorer 1000 v2 or 2000 v2 and need the station to keep working in sub-freezing cold.
Choose the EcoFlow River Series Bag if you have a RIVER station and want a light bag you can sling over your shoulder for everyday carrying.
