Waterproof Cases and Dry Bags FAQs
Why should I use a dry bag?
A dry bag is a kind of flexible container often constructed of a plastic-coated fabric that seals at one end, making it waterproof. The bag's opening is sealed by means of rolling it shut and latching it. Dry bags are perfect for storing products and accessories that are sensitive to water, such as electronics, jewelry, dry foods, and more. While dry bags can get wet and can even be briefly submerged, they are not intended to be completely submerged for very long as water can eventually penetrate the seal.
Why should I use a dry bag over another type of sealable bag?
Unlike freezer bags or bags with zippers, dry bags feature robust, durable material and minimal construction. This means there are no mechanical elements that could eventually cease to work due to corrosion, and the likelihood of the material tearing or degrading is very low. In short, dry bags are designed to stay functional for a long time, so you don’t have to worry about your possessions becoming lost or damaged.
What makes the Coleman Dry Gear Bag unique?
Keep water away from important gear with the Medium Dry Gear Bag. Constructed of reinforced, waterproof material that helps protect items from wet conditions, the easy-to-use quick-release buckle at the top of the dry bag makes one-handed opening easy. The specially designed rounded base increases the waterproof bag's total capacity, letting you store even more. Lash tabs allow you to hook other gear outside the bag or tie the bag to a car roof.
- DURABLE: Reinforced, waterproof material helps protect contents from wet conditions
- SIMPLE: Quick-release buckle for one-handed opening
- ERGONOMIC: Rounded base for more space to fit gear
- DIMENSIONS: 23 x 12.5 in.
What is a dry box?
A dry box is a chest constructed of a waterproof material like polymer and features a sealable lid to keep the contents dry and the humidity controlled inside the container. Much like dry bags, dry boxes (or waterproof storage boxes like the Plano Deep Emergency Storage Supply Box) are ideal for storing valuable items that are easy to lose or sensitive to water, like jewelry or electronics. Dry boxes are also great for storing dry foods to keep the moist air from damaging them.
Can I use any type of duffle bag for a ditch bag?
A ditch bag must contain the items needed to call for help and to survive in a life raft while waiting for rescue. A ditch bag must be kept in an accessible location on board, ready for immediate removal should the need arise.
We recommend against trying to adapt a duffel bag or using a dry bag. Rather, we advise using bags specifically designed for abandon-ship/survival situations. What features should your ditch bag have? Floatation, water resistance, bright colors for visibility, carrying straps, and tethers for sure. Additionally, we suggest looking for a bag with well-designed dividers so you can organize your gear. Finally, the bag must be large enough to contain survival gear plus food and water for you and all others on board.
What are some boating safety items I should keep in my boat in case of emergencies?
Sea Anchors
Used to stabilize a boat in heavy weather, a sea anchor is a must for offshore boaters. Rather than tethering the boat to the seabed, the sea anchor increases drag through the water and serves as a brake. When attached to the stern, a sea anchor can prevent the vessel from turning broadside to the waves and being overwhelmed by them. Additionally, sea anchors help to hold positi
