I've been a PaddleWiser for some time now and can't recall any discussion of deck bags before. So, if this winds up being a repeat thread, mea culpa. If not, please send away. I'm looking for a solid deck bag. Right now I'm closing in on SealLine/Cascade Designs' 10-litre bag. http://www.northernmountain.com/pgi-Product%20Spec?130015 Most importantly, I want one that allows for quick removal and stowage of a camera, and the use of a chart positioned effectively on top. Was curious what other PaddleWisers were using and liked. Thanks in advance!

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.

Hi All, The CD Seal-line Deckbag is not waterproof. The closure is a zipper that is protected by zip-lips which serve to deflect splash. All Cascade designs bags come with a disclaimer warning not to use them for cameras or electronics. The bag and it's description can be seen here: http://www.cascadedesigns.com/sealline/deck_bag.html Voyager used to make a truly waterproof deck bag with a truly waterproof zipper. You might want to look into that if it is electronics that you are trying to protect.

> do not keep anything that needs > to be kept dry in it unless it is in a zip lock bag. Which is a mixed blessing too :-)... Whatever water gets in ziplock bag, stays in. I'm using ziplock bags mostly as convenient compact "feeding bags" - with dry (or fresh) fruits, walnuts etc. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
