Why Watershed?

Watershed drybags are very popular in the world of water sports, and for good reason.

So what makes them so great?

The Seal – Watershed bags seal shut by replicating a freezer food storage bag seal and can endure up to 300 feet of underwater pressure.

The Materials – Watershed bags are made with a polyurethane coated fabric which is chemically stable and provides 5 times the abrasion resistance of PVC, meaning the bag will not only perform well but will last longer too.

The Seams – They have double and triple layer fabric at meeting points of the bag and have welded joints together with high pressure radio waves to promise an ultra strong seamless bond.

The Design – Watershed bags were first created by river guides over 20 years ago, with the hope to solve every adventurer’s problems. This led to the bags having multiple lash points, compression straps, wide openings, and comfortable straps, so taking your watershed never feels like a burden.

The Quality – Last but no means least, Watershed inspect every bag before they sell it, checking each bag is 100% leakproof.

Here are a few of our favourites from the Watershed range.

Or view our full Watershed range here.


Watershed Ocoee Duffel

The smallest and arguably most popular in the range. The Watershed Ocoee fits into tight spaces, and is great for extra clothing, small accessories, and your lunch!


Watershed Salmon Stowfloat

Provides floatation and doubles up as a storage solution at the same time. The Watershed Salmon Stowfloat is shorter and wider than it’s counterpart the Futa, maximising the amount of storage possible inside your boat.



Watershed Aleutian Deck Bag

Straps neatly onto the front of a kayak or paddle board. Watershed’s Zipdry closure means you can access your valuables quickly, great for getting out a camera when you need to snap a photo.
The Watershed Aleutian also has a clear map case on the top for those plotting a course on big adventures.


Watershed Westwater Backpack

A backpack you can fully submerse and still remains watertight. The Westwater will carry several days worth of gear so great for big trips. You can choose between a backpack style carrying method, or utilise the optional paddle shoulder strap when just making a quick journey.


Watershed Yukon Duffel Drybag

The big brother of the Ocoee. The Watershed Yukon will carry a few days worth of kit, and is even big enough to pack a light sleeping bag. It has several attachment points too, making it great for storing a boat or on a paddle board.
