Know before you buy
Watershed bags are designed to be fully submersible. They feature a unique ZipDry seal that creates an airtight, watertight closure, ensuring your gear stays dry even if the bag is dropped in the water.
The 10.5L size is compact and best suited for essentials. It comfortably holds items like a first aid kit, a light jacket, snacks, a camera, or a change of clothes for a day trip.
Unlike roll-top bags that rely on folding fabric to keep water out, the ZipDry seal functions like a heavy-duty freezer bag. You simply press the tracks together to lock them, providing a much more reliable seal against submersion.
Yes, Watershed bags are built with high-grade polyurethane fabric that is extremely abrasion-resistant. It is designed to withstand the wear and tear of whitewater environments and repeated use.
The Goforth features attachment points that allow you to lash it down securely to your kayak's deck rigging or inside the cockpit. This ensures your gear stays with the boat in the event of a capsize.
