I don't use one, but a friend of mine has a Cascade Designs deck bag.  I
was going to say that they're not that waterproof, however, I think the
one the address points to is a new model, since they refer to Zip Lips
rather than a zipper closure.  The old zipper was a semi-dry and
leaked.  The zip lips sound like the closure on a zip lok bag.  The
heavy duty versions I've used, like the Omniseal map cases, are
fairly watertight, so this sounds promising.

If this is the case, I'd say this is a decent deck bag.  The only thing I
didn't like about it was the zipper.  Double check the closure system
and if it's not a zipper, I'd say go for it.
