Sealed waterproof bag

Imagine a situation: you are going on a boat trip or just out in the nature, but you are worried that you might get your valuables wet, such as your smartphone and documents. In this case, the solution to the problem will be the purchase of a special sealed waterproof bag. This model is a lightweight bag made of waterproof fabric.

Let's see what nuances you should pay attention to when choosing. The main and, probably, obvious feature of a waterproof bag is its complete tightness. Not only the fabric, but also the zippers should not let water through, otherwise it will be useless.

Pros of waterproof bags:

1. Convenience. Such models are always made very convenient, because they are designed for any extreme conditions, camping in the forest, river rafting or even for trips to the water park with children.
2. Multifunctionality. As a rule, these bags have many pockets that can fit a phone or a bottle of water, while flat ones are better for storing important documents. If there are pockets with zippers, then it's generally great.
3. Simplicity. Perhaps this point will not seem to you a plus, however, believe me, it is. In the forest, in nature, beauty and accessories are not so important, as they will cling to branches and interfere with you in every possible way. Give preference to modest models.

Cons of waterproof bags:

• Unattractive appearance. Most often, these bags are not too elegant in appearance, the colors, as a rule, are either gray or orange.
• The volume is too large.Yes, maybe sometimes this is a plus, but usually a too large and heavy model makes it difficult to walk.

There are small transparent handbags specifically for phones. They only hold a phone and possibly a few folded papers. As a rule, they have a strap to be worn around the neck so that all the essentials are always nearby and not lost.

Another model is a waterproof backpack. It is made of heavy-duty, water-resistant nylon or polyvinyl chloride. Such a backpack will be a great companion in nature or during extreme recreation. He will keep your things from dirt, and from water, and from the earth.

If you are going to dive or swim, then look for special swimming bags. They are completely sealed, even professional divers on boats take them with them so as not to get their things wet. They are different: belt bags, bags, bags and even backpacks.

The simplest model of sealed bags is the bag-bag. with only one zipper, no extra pockets or whatever. Put something in there that is not particularly valuable, such as a set of clean and dry clothes, which you may need in nature.

When choosing a backpack, pay attention to the straps. They should be wide enough not to cut into your shoulders in case the backpack is too heavy. Wide shoulder straps will evenly redistribute the weight of the load over the shoulders and make it easier to carry.

A bag should have, if not many, then at least a few pockets and compartments. Two or three pockets for small items, a flat compartment for papers or documents and a dedicated pocket for a water bottle.

When choosing a color, think about the purpose of the purchase. On gray, green or black models, dirt is less visible. A bag of light and bright colors gets dirty easily, however it will stand out. It is easy to find if you suddenly leave it in the grass or in the sand.
