Dry Docs by Seattle Sports

No one likes wet maps, personal identification, or credit cards. Well, I guess I can’t speak for everyone, but I know that I’m not a happy guy when my wallet accidentally gets submerged while out on the water. I can’t imagine anyone being thrilled about a soggy wet wallet.

If you’ve ever been in this situation, or really would like to not be in this situation, give the Dry Docs by Seattle Sports a try. These PVC-free, heavy duty sleeves will keep your stuff nice and dry. They have a Ziploc-style closure that seals up nice and tight, and come in a few different sizes. On a recent paddling trip I used the wallet-sized Dry Docs to keep moisture off of some spare SD camera cards. When taking pictures of the Dry Docs that day, I dropped the camera in the water. Shoulda had it in a Dry Doc, I suppose.

I loaded up one of the Dry Docs with a map, my wallet, and some cash. With a quick zip of the top closure I proceeded to sink the whole shebang in the water for a few minutes, holding it down with my paddle. Guess what, no leaks – and the contents were totally dry. Sweet.

The Dry Docs are priced starting at about 2 bucks, and going up to about 9 dollars for the large map case. Pretty cheap protection, eh? Use them for any occasion – paddling, hiking, biking, whatever.

The Dry Docs will be available in January ‘10, so go ahead and get your debit cards ready. Just keep ‘em in a Dry Docs afterwards, alright? Visit the Seattle Sports website for details.

Injinji Toe Socks

Injinji Toe Socks

I’ve seen the Injinji Toe Socks at trail running events and all sorts of other places for some time now, but have never gotten the opportunity to give them a whirl. And give them a whirl is exactly what I did.
I’ve ran, hiked, and biked with the Injinji Toe Socks (or Tsocks, if you prefer), [...]

Osprey Exos 34 Pack

An ultralight pack with features?  Say it ain’t so, Osprey.
Well, it is so – and we’re talking about bells and whistles like Osprey’s AirSpeed suspension, a Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment, InsideOut compression system.  And that’s just the trademarked components, mind you.  What about tool loops, a 3-liter hydration sleeve, and a removable top lid?  Yep, [...]

Golite Poncho/Tarp Review

Golite Poncho/Tarp Review

For ultralight hikes, using gear that can serve double duty is the only way to go.  I’m not recommending that you go so far as using your titanium spork to dig a cat hole, that would just be taking things waaay too far.  If you are doing that, stop now — it’s just gross.
