Tarpaulin Dry Bag 60L - Grey

Q : What is the difference between "Light Water Activities," "Extreme Water Activities," and "Submersible"?

A : geckobrands products use three ratings to describe water resistance:

• Light Water Activities: Withstands light rain and splashes. Products that fall into this category are suitable for use where light water resistance is sufficient, such as summer backpacking.

• Extreme Water Activities: Withstands quick submersions. Products that fall into this category and are suitable for canoe, kayak and rafting use where boats may tip, flip or be swamped.

• Submersible: Withstands 1 meter of submersion for 30 minutes (IP-67 standard). Suitable for use in extreme and prolonged wet situations.

Q : How do I properly seal a roll-top dry bag / backpack?

A : We recommend a minimum of 3 folds (aka “rolls”) to properly seal a roll-top dry bag / backpack. For an optimal seal:

• Align the top two edges and push down to release excess air

• Once trapped air has been released, tightly fold the top over at least 3 times to ensure proper closure.

•  For better protection, secure by connecting the buckles together. You can also fasten to the sides for non-water activities. Adjust the shoulder straps for optimal fit.
