Watertight bags

Waterproof bags are a must not only for water sports, e.g. sailing and motor boating, but also for most outdoor activities and camping. A waterproof bag provides the best protection for your luggage against rain and moisture, dust and dirt. Not only outside, but also on board, clothing and equipment stay dry in high humidity or leaking hatches.

Electronic devices such as GPS receivers, mobile phones, notebooks and cameras are extremely sensitive to salty moisture at sea. A waterproof duffel bag or dry bag offers the ultimate protection against corrosion and equipment failure. Kayak tours, rafting or simply paddling are among the sports where it can get really wet. The most important belongings such as documents, valuables and safety equipment are then in good hands in a waterproof and airtight bag. At best, it is even buoyant due to the trapped air.

On the beach, it is not the water that is the enemy of all the items you take with you, but the fine sand that seeps through every crevice. Waterproof and dustproof bags are also the best companion for a beach holiday at sea.

The material and detailed workmanship are important for the waterproofness and durability of bags and duffle bags. High-quality travel bags have a cover made of PVC material, vinyl or coated polyamide. The materials are extremely tear-resistant, abrasion-resistant, puncture-resistant and resistant to scratches and scuff marks. The bags are also flexible and can be folded up very compactly. Some models also have a vent valve to reduce the volume so that the bag can be compressed as small as possible. Taped seams are essential for 100% waterproofness. While conventional zips are not waterproof and dustproof, a special patented closure such as the roll seal closure is absolutely impermeable to moisture. Carrying handles and adjustable shoulder straps should be wide and well padded. The water sports specialist compass24.com offers waterproof bags in all sizes and for every area of use.
