Tyler Bradt scouting the Rio Negro, Colombia
The Watershed dry bags are without a doubt the driest dry bags available anywhere in the world. When I go paddling I usually carry thousands of dollars worth of photo and video equipment and I trust Watershed dry bags to keep my gear dry. I have used “dry boxes” in the past, but after limited use a little sand abrades the gasket and the “dry box” is not so dry anymore. Maybe dry enough for a bottle of sun tan lotion and sun glasses, but not dry enough for my camera gear. I have used the same Watershed Ocoee for several years now and it is still as dry as when I bought it. The Ocoee is the perfect size for an SLR and a spare lens or a video camera and a few accessories. The Ocoee is also the perfect “man purse” that I use for keeping my camera, wallet, passport and other essential personal items safe and dry when walking the streets of a big city in some foreign country. The “Colorado” is a large (6400 cu in, 104.8 liters) duffel that will keep your sleeping bag and clothes dry and it is spacious enough to carry gear for mult-day expeditions of weeks in length. Watershed makes a variety of different styles and sizes of dry bags and you will be sure to find one to suit your needs.
