for those things that can't get wet
We borrowed a bag last time-- and decided to buy this one - on sale too bonus!- for those things that can't get wet yet are too small to bang around in packs: camera, gps, map - you name it. They have several different sizes too. Haven't had long enough to rate wear
Great Gift Idea
I purchased this for a family who were taking a tropical vacation and are very hard to buy for. Though I don't know how the product worked for them, it looked very solid and sturdy and generous sized for what it is supposed to do. I think it is better to be safe then sorry on wet vacations, so I would recommend this product.
Absolutely Dry!
I purchased this case for kayaking to keep my phone and gps dry. I initially tried one of the Aquapac GPS arm band cases by it was too small to fit my Garmin GPSMap70cx. This case has enough room to hold the gps and phone. Unfortunately I got caught in summer downpour but the case performed without fail. The only negative I've found has been the polyurethane material. It is a little sticky which makes getting the contents out sometimes difficult. Very happy with the purchase and service of Altrec!

Works as promised
Worked beautifully! Everything inside was as dry as when it went in the bag.
