Know before you buy
Yes, the Ocoee features a submersible design. Its airtight closure ensures that your gear stays completely dry even if the bag is fully submerged during a capsize or heavy splash.
The roll-top closure is more reliable for submersion because it creates an airtight seal that won't fail or corrode like a zipper might. By rolling the top down and securing it, you create a barrier that prevents water from entering the main compartment.
The Ocoee is specifically designed to be the smallest in the Watershed lineup, making it perfect for stowing in tight spaces like under a kayak deck or beneath a boat seat where larger dry bags won't fit.
Yes, the bag is equipped with multiple hard lash points. These allow you to securely tie the bag down to your kayak, raft, or gear rack so it stays in place even in rough water.
The compression straps allow you to cinch the bag down once it is packed. This reduces the overall volume of the bag, making it easier to fit into cramped storage areas and preventing your gear from shifting around inside.
