Seal Line Urban Tote

The Perfect Wet/Dry Bag

Seal Line's Urban Tote

Water: An essential element of any beach vacation. But the proper management of what stays dry and what gets wet can turn the casual coastal outing into one of your trip's most memorable events—for all the wrong reasons (just ask anyone who's accidentally drowned their electronic devices). The solution? Seal Line's Urban Tote, a durable, PU-coated polyester pack. Externally it looks like a traditional backpack but inside it's supplemented with a polyester and scrim-reinforced urethane clipable roll top for water-tight closing. The pack is perfect for sea kayaking, sailing, and other sports where splashes are part of watery reality . The pack floats if—god forbid—you drop it in the water, and can even weather quick full submersions. And when your day at the beach ends, the dry bag becomes a wet one: Simply toss the soaked bathing suit and towel in, and save your car from unplanned saturation. The pack is surprisingly soft to the touch—not the stiff, rubbery feel typical to the hardcore dry bags on the market—and comes in a variety of colors like sky blue and lime green.
