Typhoon, Seaton waterproof bag

Seaton is a waterproof bag in the shape of a tube with an adjustable shoulder strap and a roll-up closure. Its particularity: a transparent window allowing to visualize its contents. This bag is available in 3 sizes: 20, 40 and 60 liters. It can be used as a safety bag, grab bag, or as a back-up bag for landing on a dinghy or a paddle. 100% waterproof thanks to the heat-sealed seams inside, its bottom is reinforced and non-slip. On the big models, a valve allows to create buoyancy by inflating the bag, or conversely, to make the bag flatter by deflating it. From 20,00 euros
