Learn About Watershed Drybag Construction:

Watershed® drybags have durability built into each fibre. Learn more about the superior construction of our drybags. 

Closures

Unlike many bags that zip, snap, or roll, Watershed drybags seal shut like a freezer food storage bag — except with a lot more grip and power. Bag closures lock shut to form an airtight and watertight seal that can endure underwater pressure.

FABRIC

Most drybags on the market today aren’t built to last. Coated in cheap PVC, they wear out quickly and become stiff in cold weather — not to mention, they release toxic fumes into the environment. Watershed use a polyurethane-coated fabric, that has an extra strong and grippy coating of Watershed’s new Kryptothane Plus, an 840 denier nylon base, which is chemically stable and provides five times the abrasion resistance of PVC. This means that Watershed® drybags perform better and last longer than other drybags.

SEAMS

Seams are a known weak point of many outdoor bags — they’re often the first place a bag splits, rips, and tears until it’s no longer intact. At Watershed®, they don’t just throw in an extra stitch or two to strengthen seams. Instead, they double- and triple-layer our fabric at meeting points and weld joints together with high pressure radio waves. This creates an ultra-strong seamless bond built to last through the toughest conditions.
