Know before you buy
The Ocoee is fully submersible. It features an IP68 waterproof rating and a patented ZipDry seal that creates an airtight, watertight closure, meaning it will keep your gear dry even if fully submerged in water.
With a volume of 10.5 liters, this bag is sized for day trips. It comfortably holds essentials like a change of clothes, a camera, snacks, and a first aid kit, but it is not intended for multi-day camping gear.
To keep the seal functioning properly, you should occasionally clean the tracks of the ZipDry closure with mild soap and water to remove grit or sand. Applying a small amount of the included lubricant helps maintain a smooth, airtight seal.
Yes, the bag is equipped with six heavy-duty lashing points. These allow you to securely strap the duffel to your kayak, raft, or deck rigging so it stays in place during rough water.
The bag is constructed from 420-denier fabric with a heavy polyurethane finish, which provides high abrasion resistance. Combined with RF-welded seams and expedition-grade hardware, it is built to withstand significant wear and tear in harsh outdoor conditions.
