Watershed
Up and Under in Cardiff, UK, stocks a range of durable drybags from Watershed, ideal for kayaking and canoeing adventures. Founded over 20 years ago by river guides frustrated with unreliable gear, Watershed set out to create the most durable and effective drybags available. Their unique airtight, watertight closure system locks shut securely, unlike traditional roll-top or zippered designs, ensuring maximum protection even under pressure.
Built to withstand the harshest conditions, Watershed drybags use polyurethane-coated fabric with Kryptothane Plus, offering five times the abrasion resistance of standard PVC while remaining flexible in cold weather. High-frequency welded seams create an ultra-strong, seamless bond, eliminating weak points prone to wear and tear. Thoughtful design elements, including multiple lash points, compression straps, and comfortable carrying options, make them both practical and long-lasting. Each bag undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee 100% leak-proof performance, so you can trust Watershed to keep your gear dry on every adventure.
