• 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 waterproof beach tote?

A : For an optimal seal:

• Inspect the bag before each use for punctures or tears and make sure to clear out any debris that may interfere with the zip top closure

• Before zipping up, make sure all important items are on the inside of the bag as opposed to the external top and side zip pockets as these are water resistant only
